While certainly not one of a kind, I cannot find any information about this Brazilian g3 pony on the internet. The closest match are Mexican ponies, but they have many differences which separate them. It seems the manufacturing process differed between countries.

While doing a pony trade with a Brazilian friend, I spotted this g3 pony on marketplace. My friend purchased it for me, and the pony is now on its way. Once I receive it, I'll take better photos of the packaging, pony, and text on the card. I will not be opening the packaging.

This pony heavily resembles the style of Mexican g3s, but there are differences. I have made a comparison picture between the two, pointing out the most notable differences. It seems like the Brazilian manufacturers had to make the details themselves from scratch (?) as not even the eyes are quite the same. And they did not bother with symbols or the leg marking.

Curiously, the company "Grow" is behind this brazilian pony, the very same company who made the Mexican babyzilla ponies. I could not find any Grow markings, text or logo on the back of the carded Mexican g3s, however. Who made them? Was it hasbro themselves? Why didn't they just send regular g3s to Mexico, then? I don't have one of my own but they seem to be more common as there are multiple images to be found online of them and their packaging.

If anyone has information about this Brazilian pony or knows how rare it is, please let me know!
