Merchandise[]

Mystery pack 4 Merry May

A glitter mini-figure toy named Merry May was released in May 2012 as part of the fourth wave of mystery packs. The toy uses the Rainbow Dash mold but is completely green except for the eyes and the cutie mark. The color scheme matches the show character's, but the cutie mark is slightly different, appearing to be three flowers instead of three suns. The name comes from the collector card accompanying the toy. According to the European version of the card, Merry May "loves all flowers". The U.S. version of the card has a longer description and reads, "MERRY MAY loves all flowers, especially spring daisies!"[1]

Another Merry May mini-figure toy and collector card pair was released in November 2012 as part of the sixth wave of mystery packs. The U.S. collector card uses the same description as the previous U.S. collector card.[2]
