ID MO pink Sprinkles vs. regular Sprinkles

So I got this pink Sprinkles:

The seller assured me that it was the MO version.  I don't think she was intentionally lying, but she may have been wrong.  The pony arrived today, and she is pinkish, but I see lavender too.  I don't know.  If she's supposed to be Firefly pink, she's not.  Is there a definitive way to tell the difference?  Like is one stamped China and the other HK?

I believe they are both stamped Hong Kong. That girl definitely looks like the pink one to me though.

I need to see them side to side so I can check my girl please

Playset Sprinkles in lavender coloured while MO Sprinkles is as pink as Firefly

She looks like the MO to me. She seems too dark to be the regular. But maybe it's the lighting of the pics.

Sprinkles is one of my ARMY ponies!!!!!! I adore her!

MO is a bit more muted than Firefly. Yours looks like the MO one.

Oh yes, I agree, it looks like you got the MO one.  And for a good price, too!

I agree, I think she does look like the MO version. However, I will admit I purchased 3 or 4 Sprinkles over the years from poor auction pictures and even poor Arena images thinking I had found her and it was only at the very end I finally snagged one. But this one looks very likely to be the right one - congrats

Comparing them side by side is the best idea. And Chips picture shows her colour perfectly; Firefly pink but a little paler.

Regular sprinkles is significantly lighter than Firefly. Obviously pinkish-lavender, yes, but very pale. The one in the photo doesn't look like the regular one to me.
