OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

• Sold in McDonald's Happy Meals in the USA

• Came with a flower shaped comb that could be turned into a stand

• This was the first piece of G4 Cheerilee merch released - It was actually released before Season 1 of FiM finished airing, and before Cheerilee was properly introduced into the show. Fans were initially confused when this toy came out as part of a McDonalds Happy Meal set that otherwise included characters of the TV Show.

  • Because of this, when McDonald's released a Lily Blossom figure, I saw fans saying "Oh, just wait - It'll be like Cheerilee. I'm sure she will appear." This did not happen. Suckers! (/LH)

• This toy is a bit harder to find than her 2012 Happy Meal toy

• Her cutie mark is only one flower, even though in the show she has three

  • In all early merch, even brushables, Cheerilee had one flower
