McDonalds ponies this year?

[stopxmotion]

Does anyone know if McDonalds is going to have My Little Pony in the happy meals again this year? Isn't it around March when they have them? They're popular enough, I think it would be good for McDonalds to do it again.

I think we had some rumors of Burger King ones, didn't we see a leaked pic of one or something?

Oh? I haven't been to this board in a while.

I almost hope they don't. McDonald's just doesn't agree with me like it used to.  (That, and I had to try FOUR different locations last year to get a damn shamrock shake!  )

[InkyMilk]

Gosh, I sure hope not @_@ The amount of effort it takes to find all the ponies (since no McD ever seems to have them ALL around here) is ridiculous sometimes xD Not to mention I just got over my most recent McD hunting with TMNT, I need a break!

[Sugar]

McD's still has shakes?  Oh, lucky silverdragon, I miss those so much!!!

As for McPonies, I sure do hope so.  Apart from the leaked photo (purportedly of a 3D render from which BK managers may order upcoming toys), I've heard nothing more about the Burger King Pony toys.  I'll keep my hooves crossed - there's a McD's four blocks from here, but the closest BK is two towns over.   And I'd always rather go shanks' mare than ride!

Well I know for sure that UK branches will not have them. We get the lamest most ridiculous happy meal toys ever. It's almost embarrassing

I bet they will have ponies this year since they showed mention of it from the Toy Fair Hasbro slideshow. I'm not really a fan of the McD's ponies, but I'm sure they'll have some stuff relating to the Princess Coronation.

Haha, those of you saying you hope not.. well.. you don't NEED to go out and get them then. 

I like BK better too. It's much farther away though.

[Ice Crystal]

Yeah, like StarlightGaze said, they featured McDonald's in their slideshow.

Though they could have been referring to last year's promotion.

I like some of the poses the McD's ponies come in. More interesting than the brushables in any case!

But of course we do, that's how ponies get ya I remember I spent ages last time searching EVERYwhere for Rainbow Dash even though I really don't care too much for her...but how could I have the entire set and not her!? Same with Cheerilee, probably my least favorite pony of all time but she was the second one I got and rather than trade her for someone else, well, she has to stay!

[scarletjul]

I don't like the McDobald's ponies per se but I like the fact they exist (because it means ponies are still popular with kids) so I hope some fast food chain releases something. 

I still think it was a missed opportunity for the g1 line - and I don't think the bookmarks counted. 

[Winter Bones]

I hope they release some this year; I was disappointed with the ones they had last year compared to the 2011 set. And for those of you who don't want to hunt for McDs ponies, remember, if you set foot in a Value Village a few months after the promotion they'll probably find you.

Cheerilee is one of my favorites! I thought her pose in last year's set was really cute. I still use her as a keychain. I liked the ones last year because they had a purpose rather than just sit on a shelf and look nice. I wasn't fond of the other random pony they threw in (forget her name!)

Anyway, I have fun with the search. It's exciting to me. lol I guess I have no life..

There is both a BK and a McDs about 30mins away from me... but looking at McD's next upcoming toys... if we get any ponies from them it will be mid-march... BK might be the same way as well
