Other brand activities will include poster giveaways, caricature sessions, meet and greets, plus representation from a number of consumer products licensees.

My Little Pony fans will be able to see the new My Little Pony Guardians of Harmony line, which features detailed figures based on favourite characters.

Voice talent from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will also be appearing at the brand’s panel on July 22.
