Wave 9 Blind Bag Ponies found on Taobao!

The next wave of blind bag ponies has been found on Taobao! The theme appears to be similar to that of the upcoming Rainbow Power line, with the blind bag line returning to solid-coloured plastic, not translucent, with colourful designs over the box and bags and the phrase "Collect all 24 to complete your rainbow". Here are some interesting things about this wave:

• No Twilight Sparkle. Potentially because she is no longer a unicorn.
• Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Princess Cadance are decorated much like the 'Fanastic Flutters' princesses from the other day. Nopony else appears to be decorated that way.
• Fluttershy is in her new mold.
• Mr Cake, Nurse Snowheart and some other 'fan favourites' are in this wave.
• Some re-releases such as Big Mac and Noteworthy.
• There's also a pegasus on the front who I believe goes by the name of Tropical Storm.
• The bags, like wave 8, have no seam, and the codes will most likely be letters again.

The ponies are all listed on the side of the box:



 Top row: Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Big Mac, Amethyst Star
Middle Row: Berryshine, Lily Valley, Mr. Carrot Cake, Noteworthy, Cadance, Sea Swirl, Shoeshine, Peachy Sweet, Grape Delight
Bottom Row: Lavender Fritter, Prism Glider, Apple Honey, Tropical Storm, Nurse Snowheart, Sprinkle Medley, Honey Hays, Green Jewel

More notes:

• Shoeshine and Peachy Sweet appear to have swapped molds (Shoeshine used to be an AJ mold and Peachy Sweet a Pinkie mold but in this wave its reversed)
• I believe Berryshine is supposed to be Berry Punch.
• I am thinking that Sprinkle Medley is another fan-named background pony, Medley, as Hasbro lost rights to the name Medley a while ago as far as I know
• (New mold) Fluttershy, Amethyst Star, Berryshine, Mr. Cake, Sea Swirl, Nurse Snowheart and Sprinkle Medley are most likely characters Hasbro sees to be 'fan-favourite' ponies. Sea Swirl was an early blind bag release (wave 1 or 2), and Mr. Cake and (new mold) Fluttershy are available in packs. Other than those three, none of these 'fan-favourite' ponies have been released in figure form.

 I also noticed on the back of the bag, it has "Distributed in Australia by..." written there. That means that this wave will definately be releasing in Australia. Hopefully I'll be able to get the marked Dashie and Berry Punch (Berryshine).

No word as to when these will actually start appearing in stores yet,
