Thoughts on this G1 Flutter Morning Glory? Prototype/Factory Flaw or Rehair?

[rtattles]

Morning Glory was re-released with Wind Drifter in the same set. I agree that the tail can be replaced  without removing the head.

Wow, I knew about the Princess and Happy Tail oddballs, but I didn't know there were oddball Flutters as well! :o G1's so full of mysteries and new things to discover, hee.

It's so cool with all my years of collecting I still see oddities like this varient pop up!! If anyone recalls the old thread I would adore the chance to read up on them!

congrats on such a unique pony!!

[PrincessStarlily]

Wow, what a cool little variant! I think that vibrant green tail gives her lots of character. If I had one of these "half-finished" flutters, she'd be a treasured keepsake!

Thanks everyone!!  I am glad I rediscovered her in my collection, and now know more about her too   I definitely want to read more about the oddball flutters in the past threads

As Gaspode said she is a variant

After the MLP line finished random princess, flutter and happy tails ponies were created and sold in the UK in pound shops or cheap shops. They were often put in the wrong box as well. Mail orders and other oddities were sold in plain bags with card board ticket saying "My Little Pony" on the top.

The flutter variants mostly have missing wing holders and odd manes and tails. They look broken, which is why they often slip under the radar.

Here is link to the nirvana gallery where you can see one MIB

Is that how they came to be?  Wow, I didn't know that!

I have seen a double box! Two maneless wonders (both Honey Suckle) in Princess Pearl's box (Princess Pearl rather than Princess Tiffany), with two brushes a blue butterfly and a blue daisy (because that is what manesless ponies need) a pink ribbon AND a yellow princess hat.

I think that's what is called British irony Two brushes and no hair. Priceless.

I ahve this feeling that Bobbie might have had a surfeit of brushes, too. I have this distinct memory of seeing one with little hair and much hair accessoryness.

I do love the wackies. I just wish that they'd been more numerous here in the West Midlands (by which I mean, had ever appeared here at all -.-)

The Flutter oddballs are very little known and I think most people think they are just damaged when they do turn up, so it's hard to know how many are out there.

hathorcat, do you still have a picture of the double boxed one? I could have sworn I saved a copy, but I can't find it anywhere!

Shame on you for not remembering Ponycon 2010! I thought I had a picture of you and Sel with her boxed Bobbie, but she's just in the background (Bobbie, not Sel ) She did indeed have a large number of brushes and no mane though.

AH! That was where it was! I knew it was Sel who had it, and I knew I had a photo somewhere, but I can't find the wretched thing at all, and I couldn't remember if it was Bobbie that had a ton of brushes and not much hair xD. I'm getting old >.>.  It's been a while since I went to a UK con (2011 was the last one I got to!)

Maybe the reason I couldn't find it is because I was looking in the wrong folder...(ahem).

...I wonder where I put 2010's photos O.o I only have 2011 on here, and a ton of pics of my brazilian Baby Lofty doing various silly things in my university room.
