Flutter pony variations

[tailrustedtealeaf]

They look even more lumpy to me head on. Don't look at me that way! I do like Elish's photo, the small head molds look so much nicer. 
If she has one of each eye, then they were made in the same factory?

You know...it might be that pale purple color.  I have a Galaxy with what appears to be full body regrind as well.

And also now I know why I sometimes hate Peach Blossom and Lily and sometimes love them. It's the big head mold! I feel like it's judging me when you look at it head on.

EDIT:  OMG I just looked at my Honeysuckle, which I just got and she seems to have one of each eye and she looks completely ridiculous.

Hahahahaha that is amazing! Maybe she's distantly related to that FIM Muffin pony.


I only have one fat head. Peach Blossom. But she's very discolored and I just kinda keep her in my collection as an example of the variant mold. I like the term "stunted" like Marlin said. It's a very apt description of their poses and proportions.

Like they are JUDGING YOUR SINS.  This is why I didn't like my childhood flutter.  It looked weird to me!

Maybe they just had multiple machines going on? I mean we are talking about China in the mid-80s here, being on-model was not their strong point to begin with back then.

Got off my lazy duff and took some comparison pics.

AND THE WING DIFFERENCES! I went mad looking thru which flutters to NOT hoard...and ended up keeping more than I should...I realized the wings after looking at my Wind Drifter and Tropical Breeze hoards... and I sadly don't have any pictures to share D=

Just talked about this on FB. Didn't know about it until recently either.

So weird!  I wonder how they ended up with different molds? Maybe the big one was molded from the first, and as a result looks bigger?  So weird.

Right? It’s a strange greenish color. I feel like “nicotine blue” is a good name for it lol. I actually have no clue how she got that way. She came to me in that condition years ago and I’ve just always held onto her since she’s the only one I’ve gotten in that fathead mold.
And yes! Start an army! (Or would swarm be a more apt term in their case?) I would if I had the funds and space. They’ve always been my fave ponies. I have all the flutters but I still want Dabble and Scribbles since they were made in that same mold despite not being true flutters.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Hehe I like swarm:) how is dabble and scribbles not true flutter ponies?????

[KottonKandy]

I like just calling them Land Flutters lol. They haven’t earned their wings yet, I guess!

[Crowning_Glory13]

They don't have wings???? Looking this up. I never noticed

[Wildshadow]

Ha! I like Swarm as well! I found I did have some pics of my 'swarm' but nothing to show detailed variations. One of the Lilly's I kept has a wide stance and some Tropical Breeze's have issues.

Well I do have this detail thing, but it was because I loved the way it looks like they were hand etching out the words on each feet of the ponies (oh and these are OLD pictures...)

Wow, great flutter collection! 

Yeah, Scribbles and Dabble don't have wings . . . Maybe they are adolescents and wings suddenly burst from a flutter's back once they grow up?

Holy moly, way off topic, but I LOVE those wings on Tropical Breeze!

I like to think of them as Ponyland's supermodels, but Flutter Valley's outcasts. Maybe they lost them somehow to the smooze? Now there's a comic I'd like to see.
