Pony ID Help G4 Pink Crystal Rainbow Dash?

[MallowSweet]

I cannot find where this odd little Rainbow Dash I picked up today came from... the closest I can find is a G4 Keychain, but she comes as blue crystal not pink. There's also no evidence of anywhere a keyring would have been.

Any ideas? She's bigger than blind bag size but smaller than the regular brushables.

She’s cute, strange for rainbow Dash to be pink though! The only similar figure I can find are these ones, but it’s definitely not the same one you have and they all seem to be in their normal colors. But I think they’re a little bigger than the blind bag ones

Only thing I can find for a pink RD is this:

I would almost say yours may also be an error or prototype. OR a very, very convincing fake. Yours is definitely the keychain mold though. Hmm a mystery pony that’s for sure.

New error or prototype?

If we can't find a legitimate source for Pink RD I'm leaning towards a very convincing fakie. She was found loose in a thrift shop bag with some other fakies, a bait G1 Masquerade and a G2 McDonald's Sundance, so I don't have any packaging to help.

On her belly it says in very tiny letters:
2010 Hasbro
Basic Fun
China
1283

If this is a fakie, would this perhaps come from this set?

It's likely a fakie, I actually have a pack of 9 of them where either the symbols or colors are incorrect (no packaging, they arrived in a sealed plastic baggie). They're all slightly bigger than the licensed crystal keychains.
