Can be seen listed for far higher - even into the 100s. Not sure how common it is for people to actually buy for that price. She is a popular brushable though, who is in demand.
Price as of 2025 - Pony prices can change quite a bit between years

OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

Release Info

Part of the Midnight in Canterlot Pony Collection Set, which included 6 other ponies
The original set came out in 2013, though there was a re-release in 2016
The set was a Toys R Us Exclusive, and sold at an original retail price of $29.99

Other Info

She is a blue-toned green with pink hair. The version that is a more green color, with white and pink striped hair, is an unreleased prototype that was sold unofficially
Minty has been in several generations. She first appeared in G1, then got a big redesign in G3. The G4 Minty follows the G3 design almost exactly.
This is the only G4 brushable release for Minty, though she has some other G4 merch

Character: Minty only appears in FiM as a background character, using a recolored Applejack design. She does not have an established personality, but fans assume she is about the same as G3 Minty, who is a goofy and quirky, silly pony. She's ditzy and a bit unfocused, but a very excitable and happy-go-lucky pony. She loves the color green, and she likes wearing comfy socks.

Unofficially Released Prototype

Before the original 2013 G4 Minty release, a pony with Hasbro-licensed markings was circling on the site Taobao. She is believed to be a scrapped prototype for Minty's design. This means there are probably very few of her out in the world
Prototype Minty has virtually the same design, just greener fur, a different shade of pink in her hair + white streaks. She also has a different face mold and no black outlines on her cutie mark
Despite her rarity there's plenty of photos of her all things considered, because the people who have her really want to brag about it (understandable)
