The Treasures of Friendship series is interesting, because it's collector's figures... of G4.5! G4.5 is aimed towards a younger audience and not well-liked by older fans, so it's a surprise to see them making something like a collectors vinyl/resin statue figure
These figures are not for sale directly in store or online - they are mail order prizes people can get for collecting Kayou cards. This mail order program is only available in China, making these figures Chinese exclusives
There are figures for Fluttershy, Discord, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash
The Fluttershy and Discord figures go together - you can clip their stands together to create a larger figure with the both of them. This is also the case for AJ & RD
This is likely meant to be a "couples" thing, since both these pairs of characters are implied to be romantically involved in FiM
This makes it a little funny that it's called "the treasure of Friendship" - not that these respective couples aren't also friends, it just feels a little silly to call it that and then only feature character pairings implied to not be strictly platonic
The boxes they come in showcase how the figures can be clipped together
They are also supposed to be used as stamps - The bottom of the stand has a stamp
There appears to be similar Pony Life figures that don't come in couple's sets, but I can't find any information about them besides a single image of an ad for them that's written in Chinese, which comes from a Twitter post I can't directly view because I don't have an account...
