Title: Starshine oddity - prototype? factory error? What do you think?
Post by: kitkatvintage on January 27, 2012, 09:55:22 AM
Sorry for my thread spamming today, but I've been off work this week due to medical reasons so I finally have some time for pony picture taking!


Anyway, here's another interesting pony that I purchased from my friend:

Unfortunately there is no story to accompany this girl, so we can only guess who she is and where she came from. Her head is factory sealed, but as far as I can tell from the outside her hair is original. The colors, length, & slight blend between color sections match the other year 3 Rainbow Ponies perfectly. She has no trace of ever having a symbol. Her eyes are the same blue as German Starshine, with whom she shares a pose. However, her feet are marked with PAT PEND, where German Starshine's are not. She is also not afflicted with the cancer/dark brown spots that are common on her German friend. So... what do you think about her??

And just for fun... here's a little preview of my pony room. It's about 90% finished, just getting that last bit of stuff unpacked & displayed has taken more months than I care to admit. This wall is Nirvanas & European released ponies. ;)

I remember that pony! I nearly bought her myself but was about broke at the time :silly: She's really pretty, but I have no idea where she could have come from. It's a shame these ponies can't talk, I'd love to hear her story.

Are there any pictures of her in pamphlets or anything? :what:

She was in one of the Delanys' sales :) The same sale I got my Lickety-Split from. They had a website made for it, but there were several issues with it so I think they took it down after maybe 2 weeks.

What a curious pony! I have no useful suggestions  on her though :(

Maybe she is a German variant, with those hair colors. I have no idea why she has no symbol though... either she never had one and it was a prototype (maybe), or it was cleanly wiped away.

The owner of the collection that the Delaneys were selling is the friend who I bought this pony from. The ponies they didn't not sell we're returned to her.

When the Delaneys sent the ponies back they put me in touch with her, and she's the one I bought my Spanish Salty from :lovey: I would have loved to have seen her collection in person :lovey:

Were you the one who bought that purple shy pose oddball too? :awake:

No, I missed that one. I don't remember even seeing a pic of her. The shy pose is my favorite, too. I wonder who ended up with that one?

It was a light purple pony with a medium purple hair and no symbol. The picture was too small/blurry for me to tell much else. I didn't save the picture either :yikes:

Oh wow, how amazing she is!
 
Maybe she's a prototype?
Here is a pic from a German pamphlet (sorry :blush: , I can't remember where I have it got from), where you can see Starshine with symbol & this amazing hair colours! AND look at the other rainbow ponies!!!!! :biggrin: I wonder if they are somewhere out there with those haircolours! I'd love to have the Nightlight & the Raindrop one  :P ...

All are different to the released ponies.

Wow! Thanks for posting TwilightWhispers! So maybe she is a prototype of German Starshine after all. :)

You did a great job on your pony shelves!

I have no idea where your pony came from but I can see maybe like everyone is saying a prototype? Mystery pony strikes again. Good find.

I think she may be an oddity like the ones SoSilver has found with the bright red hair in the stripe instead of the traditional year 3 rainbow stripe.
 
You've got a nice find there, congrats.
 
Oh yeah and I like your pony room ... and if anything goes missing, he did it ---->  :ninja:

I ws thinking she might be like some of the other odd Italians that have popped up, but she does look like the one in that scan!

WOW that is really neat.. Great find.. Looks like a proto to me. Wonder if she ever had any symbols
