  • Popular/sought-after pony

  • I think her price range is too high tbh

  • Price sometimes goes up around autumn because of the seasonal theme

  • Somewhat HTF/Uncommon

OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

  • Halloween pony

    • There were three sets of Halloween Pony releases, each including 2 ponies, both dressed up in Halloween costumes. Pumpkin Tart is from the first set, which is more overtly Halloween-y than the others (Including Pumpkin Tart along with Abra-ca-dabra, who is dressed a witch, whereas the later costumes include costumes like a fairy and flower, and include ponies that don't have Halloween-themed designs)

    • This initial set was Target exclusive, whereas the later two were not

  • Her accessories are an orange hair brush, cat ears, and a neck ribbon with a bell

Prototype

  • According to product listings from 2005, a fifth wave of the Perfectly Pony series was initially planned but never released. the names Pumpkin Tart, Breezie Dreams, Grand Finale, and Banana Split were all assigned to this unreleased set. It is not often that character names are known for unreleased/cancelled sets, so it's believed this means this set was closer to production than most.

  • The book Reader's Digest Children's Books, the Fun Days in Ponyville: Storybook and Playset from 2006 includes a sticker sheet with a character who is not featured in G3 merch or media, who appears to have a pumpkin tart as her cutie mark. This is believed to be a depiction of the prototype design for the Perfectly Pony Pumpkin Tart.

  • This Pumpkin Tart's name does not really fit her design - It's believed it was directly reused from the Perfectly Pony line after it was unable to be made for whatever reason

  • There's also belief she may be "Pudding Pie", another unreleased pony name.
