Premise: Biotoy > toy. If this idea was not shared among a good portion of the population Hasbio wouldn’t have dumped hundreds of millions of dollars to create a breathing, speaking, moving version of MLP. So not a universal truth, but an opinion held by a lot of people.
Premise: Hasbio has gone under in this headcanon. There’s no longer any organization that knows how to mass produce specific fluffies (i.e. Mane 6). A Fluffypie would be very rare whereas a Pinkie Pie figurine can still be mass produced and obtained relatively easily.
Conclusion: Biotoy Pinkie Pie > Pinkie Pie figurine.
This is of course going off the premise that rarity == value. It doesn’t. But considering people will pay through the nose for a SUPREME brick, I think it’s reasonable to think that a person who collects MLP figurines would value a Mane 6 Fluffy version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m surprised that the store(?) clerk didn’t realize what he had on hand. Also that’s a hell of a blemish. Like finding a replica of the Taj Mahal in a bag of chips.
