Taobao/Ebay Finds - Master Thread

[Galactica]

Hey people- not that I'm not guilt of it too- but can we try to just post links to threads about new Taobao ponies? The discussion is fun but it's getting harder to see quickly what is new? (The point of the thread?)

Hello! 
Few days ago I bought a lot of BlindBags on ebay, including Mr. Carrot Cake, Mrs Cake, Granny Smith and others.
First, I noticed that Mr.Carrot Cake doesn't have any symbol on him 

What was my surprise when I found a new one never seen before...a purple haired pony with RD's symbol.
It remained me to Sweetsong, but mine is different.
As you can see on the image below, all the pony is purple-pinkish, body, hair and eyes.

Can someone else help me identify this pony? Or it is a factory error??

Thank You!

She pops up now and then on Ebay, iirc generally in Mango's lots. She seems to be a Sweetsong with a cutie mark swap. Good find!

For those of y'all not recognizing the character.

Wait, wasn't that the same character in the Filly Vanili episode? Maybe this means a Ponytones mini-set!

she's so cute for me

Sweetsong has blue-green eyes, though, not generic magenta like that one. I think Sweetsong's mane might contrast more with her body, too, but I don't have either one of them to actually compare, so idk.

Somewhat similar, but not the same.

[Shiromisa]

Ah, you're right! So she's a proper mixed pony bag.

She does have Sweet Song's colors, but I only have the Glimmer wings to go off...we all know that when they make a brushable and a Glimmer Wings of the same pony they change the hair colors *cough cough* Ploomette *cough*

#5 looks like a reverse color Dainty Daisy and #6 Forsythia in AJ's mold instead of Rarity's.

And now...

Twilight Velvet, and two different Pepperdances. The paint looks glossy, but I think that might just be from harsh lighting, since there are a few other pictures (including a Mr. Cake) with the same gloss but no obvious wrongness to them. Maybe AJ is just the girl they try out colors on? Twilight Velvet is weird, though, since she'd already been released in the Twilight mold in the glitter wave...

[Shiromisa]

Now that is WEIRD. The Pepperdances in particular are bothering me. For one thing, the cutie marks are entirely the wrong color, pink instead of red. Either they're rereleasing her in pink for some reason, or they're fakies...I don't get it.

Also, now that I look again, their necks are really bothering me. It looks to me like it's all one molded piece, or it's molded differently. It's like there's too much plastic around the ponytail, or something...am I totally off base?

I found a DJ-Pon3 on ebay without her marks.

I have this exact pony, bought her from ebay. Pretty sure she's an error/test run pony. I think she's Sweet Song with RD's cutie mark and eyes.

Could easily be a knock off too- there seem to be a lot of them now.

It's very odd to me that none of the new ponies featured at Toyfair have been spotted on Taobao yet...

Could it be possible that they haven't been put into production yet? (Aside from the ones actually in stores, of course.) Someone in the toy fair thread mentioned that toy fair promo models are sometimes one of a kind, handmade models.
