Does Anyone Know Where This Pony Pin Came From?

[Star Sprint 0]

I recently saw a pony pin at a friend’s place—it’s got Twilight Sparkle on it!

She doesn’t know where it originally came from, so I thought I’d ask here if anyone knows its origin.

Applejack is my favorite, so I’m really curious if there’s a version of this pin with her. I’d love to add it to my collection!

Also, if anyone has this pin series, could you share what the other characters look like? I’d be super grateful. Thanks so much in advance for any information!

Hail Luna I actually found the answer to this!

This is 1 of 25 versions given out to VIP Pass Holders during BronyCon 2013 at the Hasbro Booth after participating in voting for their favorite pony. Thank you old Ebay listings!

My guess was that this was going to be from 2012 given the current state of politics and the way meme culture used to be, so not too far off! Had no idea this was a thing, never been to a one of our fandom's con's myself, so a neat and very niche bit of history! Fluttershy won by the way.
