OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:
In 2018, for the 35th Anniversary of MLP, Hasbro licensed out the rights to G1 MLP to manufacturer Basic Fun, who made re-releases of several G1 brushables.
Gusty's re-issue was released 2 years later, as part of Basic Fun's second Unicorn & Pegasus Set
She came with a pink bow and a pink comb, which is accurate to her original set
Unlike with the original ponies, the bow is sewn on - attached to the pony herself
To tell if a pony is a genuine G1, or a Retro re-release, you can look at the date on their hooves. A notable difference between the two will also be the texture of the plastic - vintage G1's are made of a more rubbery-feeling plastic, whereas the Retro re-releases are made of a more solid, hard plastic.

I know I got her as a young teen, and I'm pretty sure I found her at Target, but I honestly don't remember any details...
