Is this plush what I think it is...?

I was at the Japanese store in the mall, and I came across this.

Aside from a few color differences, does this look like a Cynder pony to anyone else?

I looked up "Olyfactory" and it seems that there's not much information about them. They also make unofficial Pokémon plushes.

Yup, looks like Cynder to me. The triangle shaped mark and bands are just like hers;

Not to mention this;

Might have been a commission or special request.

Olyfactory! big_smile i have several MLP plushies from them. i'm 99% certain they're not officially licensed, but i love them anyway. now, the only bad thing about them (other than the fact that they're not officially licensed) is that the faces, from the front, tend to look a little "off". from the sides they look fine, but from the front, they just... i dunno, don't look right somehow. i'd like to buy more official merchandise and thereby support the company that is providing the series, but i just tend to like Olyfactory's plushies more. there's good stuff from official companies too though, don't be mistaken.

anyway i looked this up on ebay (where Olyfactory stuff is most often sold) and yep, it's an MLP Cynder plush. i know these people have sold plushies of unofficial characters before. i'm not sure if they were OCs or not.

Huh, wow! I thought I had to be wrong, but it's definitely Cynder, and it's definitely based off that vector. I forgot her eyes were actually green and not pink; that was the main thing throwing me off thinking it was her. I'm gonna guess the company probably looks for images on the internet and mass produces the plushes. That would explain how fan characters and Cynder can get in there - Olyfactory probably doesn't realize they're not real characters in the show. They had quite a few other less popular and OC-looking characters in the store.

Now the real question - anyone want me to go back to the mall and get this for you? tongue

Haha big_smile I would get it if they sell it in czech too. Still, I wonder what is the price, it looks pretty good.

It was pretty cheap, only $23 USD if I remember correctly. They're pretty high quality for not being officially licensed, like 36 said.

So apparently the company's name is OnlyFactory instead of the 'misprinted' OlyFactory. I found their supposed website here. Looks like it's dedicated to funding and producing bootleg ideas (*cough* "Purple Dog" *cough*) tongue
