Title: weird G3/G3.5 Pinkie Pie Plushie

I spotted this Pinkie Pie plush at my local flea market and as I got her home I noticed something a little...off about her?

Hmmm, does anyone else think it may be a bootleg? (Mixing gens is a common trope among the copycat-producing crowd.)

No, when 3.5 ended and FiM began there were a lot of these floating around. The obviously 3.5 stuff ended up with the new logos and info on them even though they were not fim. You saw it a lot when the change began on merchandise.

Either way they are still a bit cute looking.

Wow!  It looks like a G3.5 that was slowly morphing into a G4.  Love her!

LOL I always think that. G3.5 gets the least love but in many ways its the closest to G4 in appearance. :P

As KTT mentions, these guys were floating around for a couple of years during the cross over. Unlike with most previous gens we dove straight from G3.5 to G4 which means logos and general licensing can be a bit of a mix up from around the end of the G3.5 period and start of G4.
