I think it's awewsome knowing hte back story to how those Seaponies turned up MIB. I know there is/was another one kicking around out in the collectosphere and had NO Idea how it was mint in bag and was never sold that way.
Information is amazing.

Wow! Major congrats to both seller and buyer(s)! How likely is it that we'll ever see any of these again? Smart seller...

To be honest I'm not even that surprised. With all the crazy things I see on eBay, I expected them go for at least twice the amount. It's still crazy though! I can't imagine spending that much money on just one pony...

I actually expected them to go higher, too. There was a MIB WhiteCap the week before that went for $650. And while boxed year 3 sea ponies are hard to find, the bagged ones are more rare.

*LOL*!!!
They may be false, it's rather easy to seal up rare or minty ponies in plastic bags.
I can seal up ponies in plastic bags, and sell it for $$$$ on ebay, it's all too easy.
As for the Made in Hong Kong lettering on the bag, that's easy enough to do too.
Just take a toy from the dollar store careful cut it open and take the toy out, put the pony in and reseal the plastic bag.
The sticker too, it's easy to re-make if you know how. I have a dozen 'vintage" MLP stickers that I've made with my printer.
And also that story about him being on the factory floor sounds so bogus, the ponies where made in china/hongkong. and they would know if some ponies had gone missing.
This sounds so fishy to me, I'm so tempted to report it.
I hope everyone has the brains enough not to get duped by this guy.

uhm.. it says that he worked with modeling them, not just on the factory floor. the ponies were not missing, he was given them, as he was one of the people working on them and they were prototypes.
and making bubble stickers on a regular printer is impossible as far as I can tell.
the bags do not look resealed, they look factory.
It could be fake, but I really, really, really doubt it

There were some bagged "sample" Sand Dollars that came up on ebay 2 or 3 years ago that were exactly like those. I can't remember what they sold for, but I'm fairly sure the seller had a few, or at the very least more than one.
