Wysteria - Favorite Friends (Wysteria 5)

CHARACTER(S): Wysteria

• I ask myself an important question... I ask... Is it "Wysteria" or "Wisteria"? Despite my computer insisting that the second spelling is correct and the first is not, looking at the boxes this horse was sold in - her name is spelt with a 'y'. Case closed

YEAR OF PRODUCTION: 2007, 2008 (Hoof says 2006)

PLACE OF PRODUCTION: China

MANUFACTURING COMPANY: Hasbro

TYPICAL PRICE ONLINE: ?

• Wysteria has several different brushable designs, all pretty drastically different, at least compared to the differences most G3 brushables for the same character tend to have!

• This post focuses on her fifth and final brushable design, which was first released in 2007 as part of Wave 1 of the Favorite Friends Pack

  • She was then released again in 2008 in a Promo Pack with Rainbow Dash

• The Favorite Friends pack was released as part of a set of merchandise celebrating the 25th Anniversary of MLP, so merchandise of this Wysteria toy marketing her as an Anniversary special is not actually claiming that she is in anyway a reproduction - G3 was still ongoing at the time of MLP's 25th Anniversary!

• She has a hole under one hoof, not a magnet
