Starglow variant?

I think it must be a fading, but due to the big change of the colour, I would like to know your opinion.

Fading /could/ account for a body colour change like that, but it wouldn't explain the hair.  Magenta -> White would take a ton of exposure, enough that the card would probably be destroyed in the process.  Looks to be a variant to me.

I want to say that I've seen this variant before, but I'm not sure.

I've never seen her, but I'd say because of her hair being white and pale yellow, that she is a variant.

I've never heard of dark pink hair fading to white.

She's so lovely.

She's stunning!

The package looks a little faded to me, and the bubble looks yellowed, or is that just the lighting?

[Haruna]

Interesting! Her body is also a much lighter shade than normal; not sure why, though!

I actually own that MOC starglow. She is a true variant. Her mane is a different shade of yellow than the normal one.. Also no way the ponies magenta hair could fade to a pure white like that. Body is also a different shade.
Packaging isn't faded at all. It is the lighting. Bubble is slightly yellowed.

There are two known existing. My friend songtiosis who is actually local to me owns one as well.. Hers is loose and was found in a lot on ebay or something some years ago. She started a thread on this mysterious pony, and I acquired this gem from the Delaney's collection about 3-4 years ago after she posted about it.

No way magenta nylon goes to pure white with only a little fading to the card/bubble - the amount of UV you'd need would likely render the card close to blank, with only a ghostly blue leftover if it was even feasible, which I doubt. Think movie posters that have been in convenience store windows for many, many years levels of fading.

Ooooh she's so beautiful! The variant hair colour makes her look even more 'glow in the dark'

I thought someone here owned her.   Congrats Clipper.

Yep, she's a variant!  I bought a lot, years ago, from a woman who bought her grandkids identical ponies and kept them at her house for when they visited.  So she had three or four each of about twenty ponies.  She had four Starglows, all bought at the same time, but one of them was this variant.  She still has the original seal to her neck but you can see, through the plastic, that her hair roots are the same color--so it isn't fading.  She's my favorite pony in my collection!

Oh wow, what a cool variant! Congratulations
