Title: Unknown G3 Minty figure? What did she come from?
Post by: ladybrooklyn on September 05, 2012, 04:59:15 PM

I found this cutie at Goodwill a while ago. Just getting around to taking pics of her. I haven't been able to find her listed/pictured on either Strawberry Reef, or My Little Wiki...

Does anyone have any idea what she came from?

I don't know but I love her pearly hair!  Hopefully someone will come along and answer your ID question though.

Does the head come off? It almost looks like a container or something along those lines.

Is there any year stamped on her underside? I just spent at least half an hour trying to find her online, and no luck (I got extremely curious, myself lol)! How big is she? Just trying to think of things that might make her easier to ID.

I think it came with bath stuff.

Looks like a bath product... how odd!

Makes me think something along these lines...

I haven't tried VERY hard to pry her head off (tho I thought the same thing). I don't want to try overly hard and have it "snap" off... you know? :lol:

As for size... she's probably about 2 in tall... Not much bigger than a Blindbag... about the size of a McDonald's Pony...

Glad to know I'm not the only one stumped! :happy:

how "squishy" is the plastic?  glass? ceramic?  Have a pic of the bottom of her hooves?

I'll have to go retrieve her from upstairs... but I'm pretty sure it says "2006 Hasbro" under her hooves...

And she's a really hard, almost "tin-y" plastic... Trying to think of a suitable comparison here... :what:

No clue, but wants.  Someone should give Diamond a holler.

She's from a play-rug set.  I'm not sure what it's called.  This isn't my picture, btw.

The photo is mine (got to love my basement stairs as the background!).  I purchased this off eBay several years ago, but *think* it was sold at Kohl's.  I believe there is another version that only had Pinkie Pie, which *might* have been sold at WalMart.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
