Title: Pony purchases of the past couple days (+mystery Pinkie plush)
Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on December 14, 2017, 07:47:03 PM
So these past couple days I've been doing some thrifting, so now I'm here to post everything I've found!

Firstly, this one's not really a thrift store, but I went back to that antique mall that I found those G3s at before, and found this girl (this was on Tuesday):

I love the shade of pink that her body is, it's very pleasant!

Not MLP, but I also got a Sweetie Pups toy (the Collie), I was gonna leave her behind but then knew I'd regret it, so I took her home with me. Maybe I'll get more in the future, when I have more space:

Then I went to the Goodwill Outlet for the very first time yesterday! Nothing major, but I did find these two:

It was pretty neat to go there and experience just how cheap it is, these two girls just cost me 83 cents! But since it's about 30 minutes away from me and thrifting is always so hit and miss, I'm not sure if I'll be going back or not. It would be really annoying to drive back there and not find anything.

There was a normal Goodwill a few minutes away from the outlet that I went to as well, and I got some puzzles and the McDonald's Twilight mask:

Only mask I need now is Rainbow Dash!

When my mom and I made it back to our own city, we went to Walmart and I decided to buy this MLP Golden Book, due to its super cute artwork:

Now onto today. First, there was a new (couple months old) local shop downtown that my mom wanted to visit. Mostly they had Christmas stuff due to the time of year, but they also had cards (that they had bought elsewhere to resell). I found two pony ones:

The G3 one is from 2008, the G3.5 one is from 2010.

Then I went to Value Village, and found a couple things:

And some fakies, I particularly like the flocked one (they were in a bag with Rainbow Dash):

Also went to the Goodwill that's close to Value Village:

The Pinkie Pie plush is very interesting. She doesn't have a tag (nor do I see anywhere where one would have been), and I don't see anything that looks like her on MLP Merch. She's very chibi-esque, kinda looks like a filly. She has letters embroidered on the bottom of her back right hoof:

Here's a full photo of her:

Does anyone know if she's official merchandise and if so, what company made her? Or is she a unique plush somebody made?

Lastly, I got a cute gift bag at Walmart:

That’s a lot of pony! And regarding the plush. I do believe that is a pretty cool handmade plush. Not sure who made it, but it isn’t official merch, that’s for sure. No hasbro pony ever has those letters on her hoof or is that styluses. You’re quite lucky to find something like that in the wild. Well done!

Great haul, congrats! I have no idea on the Pinkie plush but she is super cute :)

That Pinkie Plush looks pretty well made. She must've been a gift for a child who outgrew ponies, as I'd imagine that adults who had those plush would sell them online or give them as gifts to friends.
That Golden Book has great artwork, I haven't picked it up yet but I'll have to get it soon. Congrats on your finds!!

The plush is not official merch for sure. I recognize the signature on the foot from a plush maker on DeviantArt, but I don't remember their name.

You have some really interesting merch there.  It is so funny to see Golden Books with G4 ponies featured.  Nice to see they are moving with the times :)  :)

Congrats and thanks for sharing :happy:

I think the plush is by Rubio Wolf.  That looks like his logo on her foot.

Looked her up, certainly seems like it! Thank you for the help!

Nice buys!  I love that Sweetie Pups collie too!  Sweetie Pups are adorable!    I had the Baby Springer Spaniel when I was a kid.  :lovey:

The plush looks fan-made to me, never seen official merch of such high quality. Also goodness, the illustrations in that "Best aunt ever" book are to die for
