CC Foot Cotton Candy Question on eyes?
« on: December 30, 2017, 07:30:00 PM »
I just got a lot of G1 ponies in the mail and there are two Cotton Candy CC ponies in it.
One of them has a purple eyes while the other one has a blue eye.
Does anyone know where they are like this? Both are made in Hong Kong to.

Purple fades to blue when exposed to UV quite easily.  Red pigments are the least stable and purple - red = blue.
A non-nirvana Cotton Candy should have purple eyes.
G1 Wishlist  It's the final countdown! Looking to purchase the last few G1's for my collection - Watercolor Baby Sea Ponies Foamy, Misty & Surfy - Red Roses - SHS Sweet Sundrop - Springy - Teeny Tiny Snookums (#2)

The only Cotton Candy I've seen with definite blue eyes are the Italian girls. I have seen blue in other ladies, but it's usually from fading. I like it because it makes each pony that much more original and special, even though they're super common!

Yep :) Her eyes are just faded, quite normal on a toy over thirty years old!

I have another Cotton Candy question that I hope is ok to ask on this thread. After the initial flatfoot Cotton Candy, I believe there were two or three concave foot versions that came out in the next couple of years. How do you tell those apart (the collector pony, the re-release for the first earth ponies, and I believe a mail-order version)?

There is no sure way to tell them apart as far as I know.  There are various shades of concave Cotton Candy who was sold as a storebought pony.  My own childhood one (from Year 2, with the backcard with Moondancer, Bubbles, etc) was quite a dark pink.  But I have seen lighter ones who were also storebought.  She's a very confusing pony, lol!
