Cutie Mark Crew
Cutie Mark Crew is the blind bag-style set that has served as a replacement of sorts for the G4 Blind Bag Ponies that were released from 2011 to early 2018. The Cutie Mark Crew sets began to show up in Europe first, before hitting the U.S. This set deviates from the previous blind bags, being less concerned with "show accuracy" and designing each character with a large head, cartoonish eyes, and a small body. There are three types of figure: ponies, Equestria Girls, and mer/seaponies. Each figure comes with an accessory (themed according to series) that can fit the figure inside. The Equestria Girls come with a small heart with a peg to insert into their foot. Like most other G4 toys, the ponies and merponies each have their Cutie Marks on one side. The toys are sold in either multi-packs (of five or eight) or singular blind capsules (each capsule containing a figure, accessory, and checklist). The capsule itself is stacking and can serve as a display for the ponies. These capsules are absent in the multi-pack releases.
