This is Holly Dash's only brushable release
Holly Dash is a Background Pony from FiM - She was a self-insert for one of the animators, Holly Giesbrecht. First appearing in the season 1 episode "Swarm of the Century", she was the first example of a person's MLP OC being put into the show
She is a sought after toy because she is somewhat rare, having had only one release, is unique (and cool) looking, and represents part of the history of FiM.
She wasn't the most popular Background Pony by any means, but any Background Pony that garnered fandom attention usually becomes a character valued more in merch, unless (like Lyra Heartstrings, for example), the character is featured frequently in Merchendice, including main line brushables, bespite not being a main or secondary character
I've seen vague talk of her being an international exclusive online, but nothing from websites I actively trust, and no specification on where she would be from specifically
Saw someone ask who she was on Reddit after finding her at the thrift store and the comments were difficult to read. Nobody was like "That's amazing, you found Holly Dash! That's the coolest thing ever!" It was only from 3 years ago too??? Guys, that's a valuable pony. One person said "Looks like a Rarity custom". Someone was like "I don't think she's rare because I've seen a lot of listings for her." Yeah, because they're all $100+ and nobody can afford that!
