Hello everyone,
Somrtimes I see windy/summerwing ponies with no wings. Their wings seem much sturdier then those of flutterponies, yet they still end up wingless sometimes.
Does anyone know how that happens? Is it age?
I would love to know.
Cheers,
Luke

i would assume that its kids being really rough with them, i see quite a few g4 princess twilights without her wings, though theyre molded to her body :shocked:

That is rough indeed! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I’ve received some winger ponies with clear bend marks at the bases of their wings, like someone tried to make them flap!

I have a set of beaten up Summer Wing wins with BITE marks on them!
Love pkw xxx

BITE marks?? i guess someone got a little hungry... :bolt:

I've seen them with bite marks too, or wings bent at odd angles.
Most of them break off, I think, with extended pressure on the wing joint making the plastic brittle at that point. Most played with second hand ones I've seen have faint white lines around the wing base, suggesting some stress. The broken ones have just gone the full way.

Thanks for sharing everyone.

I have Skydancer. She's a childhood pony. I think one reason my mom bought her was because my flutters wings broke off. I remember pressing on the wing joint a couple of time very gently, but I didn't want her wings to end up broken.

I think kids can break pretty much anything lol!

They can be cut off with scissors.
I found (long ago of course) a no wings high flyer and then a barbie dress with her wings taped to it with packing tape. They cut them off the pony to give them to barbie, then threw the whole lot into a cardboard box for the flea market.
I also agree with Pinkkittywinks that many of them were surely gnawed off. Blunt human teeth leave very certain marks on things and I've found several that had been chewed on quite a bit at the tips, and a few at the base. When kids didn't have a tablet, did they just chew everything like dogs? (Barbie says 'maybe')

kids who played actively with their toys probably thought "the flutter pony wings come right off, shouldn't the others?! "
*rips, pulls, cuts, tears, finds tools* XD

Well, the wings where perfect to flutter :D
I had Flurry as a kid and it was very important that she fluttered a lot (and hard) when she flied (or when she had to attack the smooze)
Once the first crack appeared it went downhill resulting that she lost one of her wings... :blush:
