Pony's head is smaller and different color than body - normal?

[Marjaana]

Hi,

I'm planning on buying a lovely G1 pony. Its otherwise in great condition but its head looks too small for its body and its a different shade. Is this normal for older ponies? Its an Italian one if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Dunno anything about Italians and their heads, but the other prob is what's known as head/body mismatch. Its a problem caused by either one part of the toy discoloring faster then the other half, or because of plastic batch differences.

Thanks, good to know its a genuine problem with G1's. I was almost thinking that the head had been replaced with another pony's!

It might be. Kinda wanna see a picture of this pony.

It's most likely a head/body colour mismatch. Pictures would be helpful, you can use imgur for pics, I find that the easiest.

Never tried Imgur before, hope this works:

Ok doesn't seem to work. But in any case, would you say that a mismatch between the head and body should affect the price of the pony?

A head and body mismatch definitely affects the price of a pony. Some are more probe to having that then others.
