Possible Prototype or an Oops Pony!

[thesnapegirl]

Hi there! Name's Cat (I did a lame little intro on the intro board cuz I had no idea what to say about myself, cuz I'm lame haha), and I wanted to share a pony I've had in my collection since I was about 6 or so.

I'm from Rhode Island, so us lucky people got to go to Hasbro once or twice to their outlet like area and buy ponies at a discount price. My dad used to take me there a lot (ah the perks of being an only child).

So anyway, a few years ago I was on a pony id page, and... I couldn't find this pony! Her body is Tootsie's from Year.. 3 or 4 I think (I forget) but.. well, here, let me show you.

So I put it to you. Have anyone else seen Tootsie with a makeover like this?

...My name is Cat and I am also from Rhode Island. (Except I recently moved out of RI.)
Holy jebus. O AO;;
Back to topic!

I have never seen a Tootsie like that before and can't seem to find info on her either. If she wasn't rehaired, then it's safe to assume she's a prototype or ~mystery~ variant. Maybe someone else will have more info on her. Does she have any markings on her hooves? Or does it just have default Hong Kong?

  That really is an odd one... Especially since I don't think they used that hair color until a few years after Tootsie was made (the body looks to be the standard US-release Tootsie). I wonder if it was the result of a bored factory worker who got ahold of leftover material.

Is her head loose at all? If it is, you could probably carefully remove it (a hair dryer helps if it's being stubborn) and check the inside of the mane. The hair will have a woven appearance if it is factory-done.

Wow! Whatever she is, she's a really cool variant and you're lucky to have her in your collection.

How interesting!  If you have anything else interesting from the Hasbro outlet, please let us see!

Glacia, I would have guessed that was the same hair color that Skyflier (Year 3) had, but do you think not?  If so, that would fit.

[Glacia471]

Oops! You're right, it is Skyflier's red My bad! Still though, she is unusual. The hair length looks about right for a factory job too

Didn't one of the sea ponies from year 3 have that colour?

I can't say I love the colour combination (I've got a soft spot for blue/green Tootsie, though), but if she's factory made, that's super neat to have!  Congrats on your awesome pony!  I wonder how many varient/errors are out there belonging to people who have no idea.

(Ooh creepy Cat from not RI anymore hah! We're like twins but not?)

I remember being little and always having her, in fact I don't exactly remember NOT having her. I remember going to Hasbro (I don't even think I knew it was Hasbro, just remembered the pony packages in bins) and getting the pony friends (the giraffe and lion-ish looking ponies?) and the lil litters made by MLP.

Her head is not loose, she's actually in better condition than my others because I didn't like her at all. No idea why, she was just not my favorite. (Baby Moondancer was) She has the made in hong kong mark on the bottom of her hoof.

[ashes]

How interesting!  And how cool it must have been to go to Hasbro to see all those toys MOC back in the day. 

[kittybethy]

Hmm.  What a cool pony to have in your collection!  It's such a vibrant haircolor, especially next to that green.
