[ID: Love & Groom] Large Green Unicorn, 1984 Porto Play Inc [Dec 2009]

[Ghost Of The Doll]

BebeDasha emailed me this unicorn image and description:

"I have a pony I'd like more info on, if possible. I am looking for a replacement pony for the badly damaged one I have. It's a large light green unicorn, about 8 inches tall (?), has brushable darker green hair, furred eyelashes, movable limbs, and the *front* of her right rear hoof says "1984 Porto Play Inc" but I am unable to find out anything about her. My unicorn is very badly damaged and I would like to replace her... but without knowing much, it's been difficult to even find someone who has seen it before. I have been actively looking for about a year.
Please help, if at all possible. I am not sure who else to turn to! Thank you for your time."

Hi, I just wanted to drop you a line and say that in you ID section there is a green haired unicorn made by Porto Play. 
 
I have a pink one still in the box.  My box says "Love & Groom" .  It comes with a brush, comb and ribbon.  Mine has pink hearts on her butt.  On the back it has 2 pics of the different types available.  Unicorns-Unis and Donkey-Pedro.  The box says 1984 Porto Play INC. 200 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. 10010.  Made in Hong Kong.  I can take a pic if you would like one.
 
By the way I love your site
 
Thanks,
Shelba

Ooh, I love the unicorn in your link, Zuse!  I'll definitely have to keep my eye out for one of those as I have a similar one that I assume is considered to be the "Donkey-Pedro" style (that Shelba says is mentioned on the back of her Love & Groom box):

The before pic of mine, right after I received her:


And a pic after she'd had a little cleaning and styling:

well i once saw one of these on e bay and they said  it was a " RARE MLP from hong kong" really now!  it annoys me that stuff like this is purposely misidentified to unwary shoppers.

Bebedasha did get the one on MLPArena.
It was mine  .  I was glad it went to someone who could appreciate her.

I wish I had taken a pic of the back of the box.
Here is the pic of mine



LeahLPS:that is the Donkey-Pedro version.  Yours is cute also.
