Taobao Ponies
From My Little Wiki
Taobao is an eBay like site based in China that sells all the items China makes for every company. This items range from being sold well after an item is retired to being sold months before an items release date. The quality also varies highly, some items turn out to be the same you could buy in a store, others have had serious liberties/mistakes happen to them.
Figurines
When blind bag ponies were extremely under circulated Taobao sellers started selling the figurines as key chains.
