I WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT her but only if I find her in the wild! 

[applejackbunny]

I have and love her. One of my absolute favs 

[Skeen]

I have my childhood one and a nicer one I put on display.

I’d like one but I refuse to pay that much for her. So here’s to hoping that I’ll luck out at the flea market 

Same here. She's SO gorgeous!! Perhaps I'll settle for a custom version... 

[Taffeta]

My hypothesis for her outrageous price is that no one wanted her originally cuz of her ugly body color, but demand > supply now that she's rare.
Ill pass. If she were cheap, maybe, but I don't care for her body color, and would resell for profit unless she was a gift.

This is something people have said for years but it's really unlikely that thats the case. Mimic had a whole animated special that was about her. And her price was already crazy in the mid 1990s when it was still much easier to get G1 at second hand markets very easily and cheaply. Mimic was highly in demand very early, so the theory she was hated when new is a bit redundant now IMO.

The bigger likelihood is quota in a box to a store. My sister's told me that now for example Coloratura comes 1 in a box of 6 ponies. I suspect Mimic might have been similar. Mimic and Bright Eyes both seem about the same in terms of rarity but Mimic is more expensive so I would put that down to the Magic Horseshoes episode making her more popular.

I have her. She was my first ever online trade and I got her in November 1997. I traded a Gypsy for her, back when Gypsy was a new and shiny International pony I have had two others in my life, one of which I found at the local car boot sale. She wasnt sold here, but I think she was in Italy, so I assume she came here from there.

I love the magic horseshoes episode. I like everything else about her except her color.

[Marlin]

I want her, but more to complete my twinkle eyes than anything else. My thrifty ways can't bring myself to pay what she's going for, so I'll join the patient queue waiting to luck out on ebay or finding her in the wild 

[achab1984]

I have never had her in my collection before! I am not sure if I really want her or not yet.
I will not pay the price that others are asking for her so I guess she wont be in my collection any time soon! LOL

Not unless I find her second hand and I dont think that will ever happen!

[invaderhorizongreen]

I have this gal , got lucky on an auction on her.

[elish2]

Sold her....one I regret. I found her in the wild and got her in a lot of 20 ponies for $80 in near mint condition with her bow and brush...sigh....
