seasick lol!!  She kinda does.  Wrong color hair though

I really like them!  Where do you do your Taobao shopping, because most sites you have to pay someone else to search for you.

now I'm pretty sure I won't get a second of sleep tonight

Man, usually whoever is mucking around at least picks heads that fit on bodies. What on earth are they doing?  I guess it is one step better than selling headless ponies.

Edit: Aha,  I see, they are just selling these for really cheap amongst some other bad factory errors like "no eyes" and terrible smudges. Interesting.

[hyenacub]

Haha love the horror sound.  xD  Hey I could sell my mismatches. 

[MaronaPossessed]

Did my search by going with the keyword "hasbro" for my glitter pink twilight sparkle...

Now I'm no G3 or G3.5 expert but...is this a weird one?

Because the hair just screams "Braaaains"

EDIT: Rest of them so far is just the brains color with different hairstyles. But let's play a game. Quick, which one stands out the most?

Hehe, maybe they are testing the waters, but these are dirt cheap. Also every other variant pony sold on Taobao hasn't been more expensive than any regular pony, so I don't think they are trying to take advantage with high prices.  I think they are just trying to sell what would otherwise be garbage.

See what I mean! Why do they all have Rainbow Dash bodies!!! Where are all of Rainbows heads...

@MaronaPossessed - there are a whole series of G3.5 ponyville with removable and interchangeable hair

That little one with the huge head!

They are definitely trying to sell factory rejects and extra parts-  extra parts could be from a mold that is no longer made, or from batches that failed QC  (wrong colors, smudges or maybe the plastic did not bind correctly)

Hilarious and simultaneously terrifying!
