I have her. She is one of my childhood ponies. Her wings are long gone though.

Well, I have method for cheap (and admittedly simple) replacement wings if you're interested

I have her, here's a quick and terrible photo:

Looks decent enough to me. Especially since yours has her wings

[Sky_Rocket_Sammie]

Want her and that photo of her MIB is fantastic. Preserving pony history, ahhh for the days of G1 in the stores. Also it reminds me of fragile their wings are. I was careful as a kid but mine still got busted.

Have her, she's beautiful!

I can't speak from experience but I think a big part of the fragility is the design. When the wings are attached that thin stem is in a position where it's very vulnerable to being stressed. A shame there wasn't a Flutter Pony Collector's Case with wing storage or anything like that.

Want! I love her understated design, it works really well with that elegant body shape the Flutters have going on.

[Kikwifluff]

Want her!

[Shaiyeh]

I have her, but she's in serious need of an upgrade *sigh* dishonest facebook sellers....

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Oh? What's the matter with her?

I totally agree.  As a kid I immediately broke one of Peach Blossom's wings off at the tab after getting her.  After that I actually took her and Honeysuckle's wings off every time I finished playing and stored them in a little Barbie dresser.  They survived my entire childhood intact!

Another thing that would have helped would have been making them out of less brittle plastic.  Some kind of softer plastic that was more likely to bend than to snap when put under pressure.

I have this gal, no wings for her though, some day I will get real ones or replacement ones.

Would you be interested in my method for making cheap (and admittedly plain) replacements?

Yum Yum from the birthday party pack was my last childhood flutter. I was very very careful with her wings and made sure that I didn't press the button down hard when I was playing with her. Her wings broke anyway.   I don't remember when my Honeysuckle's wings broke.
