Found this girl at my local goodwill. I say half g1 being that her lower half looks like a mould recast.

I've certainly seen her around! The first thought that comes into my head would be the Walmart fakies (something Pony Land), but I'm not too sure.

Her bottom half is remolded from the Tootsie pose.  It was bootlegged very early on (in the 80s), but the bootleggers always try to "disguise" it by giving it a new head!  And wings, in this case.  ;)  It's too bad none of them copied the Tootsie head as well, then they'd be great for G1-looking customs.

These were also sold at dollar general back in the early 2000’s for a buck each. They came in lots of different colors and had either the moon and stars for a symbol or a bunch of balloons. They came with a white comb, and a really thin, plastic ribbon. They mold has been used countless times, and released in different sets over the years.
