Thank you for posting Taffeta, I do now recall your Truly being discussed before
It wouldn't surprise me if some black eyeliner ponies snuck through
I do recall eyeliner colour of other ponies, such as Shady, being discussed to see if there was some sort of link.
Interestingly enough, a Shady I was photographing for my Sales today has obviously brown eyeliner, where as my childhood Movie Star Shady has black eyeliner..........

I am pretty sure both my childhood (UK) Shady and my MOC (French) Shady have black eyeliner. I am quite sure that came up before and I checked.
The Truly with the black eyeliner is here with me in London. Maybe if I remember I'll bring her with me to ponycon and people can examine her and see what they think? Either way she has a home with me for life so it's not a big deal, but it would be interesting to look at this further.
(Very late reply. Sorry. Always forget to read the Nirvana forum.)
Thank you Taffeta! I would have loved to go to ponycon - that is another very big 'one day' wish of mine as I have never been to one. If you do take your Truly along it would be interesting to hear what other collectors have to say.
I would also love to find out if anyone else has come across a Truly with two differently coloured symbols.
In addition, I have just bought a pony advertise as NSS Cupcake who appears to have black eyeliner. I really hesitated over the purchase, however she was a good price, so I caved. I don't have her as yet so cannot confirm whether it is black or not at this stage.
We might find, as we dig deeper, that some Trulys and Cupcakes (etc) did slip through without being flocked - perhaps they had run out of the 'regular' type and needed some to fulfill an order so just quickly grabbed ponies out of the yet-to-be-flocked pile?
