Maud Rock Pie MLP Collection Single Figure

For a few months now, a Maud doll/figure has been on the horizon while maintaining a mysterious status as to what it exactly was. Finally the news is out: she'll be part of Hasbro's "Friendship is Magic Collection" as a single pack. Others in the set will be Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Mr. Cake.

Maud comes with her dress (which is removable), along with a tiny little figure of Gummy. The inclusion of Gummy -- in a weird pose, too -- initially seems like an odd choice of accessory, but actually he's the answer to another question; A few posts ago, I was wondering what was up with that spike of hair by Maud's ears, and it's now clear that it's there so that Gummy can perch himself on Maud like he did in the "Maud Pie" episode right after Pinkie Pie so perfectly delivers the line, "Maud and I better get going, too! I want her to taste the rock candy we're gonna use for our best friends necklaces! Aw yeah!" It seems like the theme of these figures is to represent different scenes involving Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, with, as another example, unicorn Twilight Sparkle and her umbrella-hat representing the moment from episode 15 "Feeling Pinkie Keen".

The figures are expected to come out this November, and when I get my Maud I'm planning to go outside and grab a little pebble to act as Boulder.
