Which Twilight is this? Unusual hair?

Sorry, I can't take a picture for the time being, but I bought a Twilight Sparkle at a thrift store yesterday and noticed something odd about her hair...it's cut to give her a forelock, but it's not rooted horizontally like the other G4s I have with forelocks. It actually looks really nice.

It's basically just part of her mane brushed forward and cut, but it looks factory; her bangs lie nice and flat, and her hair looks like she came straight out of the package and was never played with. I didn't even need to brush it when I got home. I suppose someone could have cut and styled it, but I wouldn't have expected someone who cared about a show-accurate hair style to have gotten rid of it so soon.

Anyone else have one like this? Did I miss a line of the toys with hair like this? Was there maybe some kind of "transitional" G4s made when they switching away from bangs? Or do you think I just got lucky and some collector before me did the work? If it matters, her cutie mark is on her left side.

Hm. I don't recall hearing about such ponies. I'd have to guess that someone cut it themselves...or maybe it's a factory flaw? I agree that it would be strange if someone had gotten rid of her so soon, but you never know I guess.

my first thought is someone likely cut the hair

I looked again more closely...it's got to be a haircut and boil-perm. Right above the eye, the hair is cut shorter and more uneven than the rest. Hope whoever did it didn't outgrow their pony love so quickly! Maybe they just found a replacement with the actual forelock...

She sounds cute!  Lucky find.
