The pink Pegasus shown on the bedset looks like she has swablu wings hastily drawn on. Its interesting that she hasn't yet made an appearance in the screen shots or toys. Maybe she's just a minor or secondary char?
They also don't look like swablu's wings. Swablu has wings that look like clouds. The only thing odd about these wings are they aren't the same color as her body... and maybe she has a back story about that? visitors can't see pics , please register or login

You can see her on some more merch in this screenshot from the livestream. On a heart shaped necklace (?) and she seems to be on the shoes as well.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI hope we get to see more toys soon, especially one of her! Maybe she's not as important to the film which is why Hasbro haven't shown how she looks in the movie or have officially revealed her name, but will be a main character in the series and that's why she's on at least three pieces of merch we've seen so far?

I was initially thinking it was going to be the case with all pegasi in G5, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the two guard pegasi from that movie screenshot we have, so maybe it is just her? It's definitely very strange. I really hope we see a toy of her soon, I'm curious how they're going to do the differently colored wing thing with the toys. Whether they'll be directly connected to her body and they'll just be painted, or if they'll do something similar to what they did with some later G4s and the G4.5 pegasi where the wings are separate and can be moved around a ball joint (just like the G4.5 heads), and then they just use a different plastic color for the wings rather than paint them.

It could be that the underside of her wings are white and the top is pink?

More g3s than Star Catcher have different coloured wings though, but it's an airbrushed gradient. Then there are Hear Bright and Star Flight that have the big flappy wings. G1 Dream Beauties have wings in a different colour (and gradient) than their bodies, and the g2 "pegasi" have clip-on wings. There are lots of ponies with different wings than body colour, so I really don't see the issue with that. ^^' Maybe it's because she's young and has baby down or something?
I gotta say I am most interested to see brushables of the pegasi and unicorns because Hasbro could technically go the cheap route and have the wings and horns be integrated in the saddles and tiaras Not trying to be overly negative, just a thought I had based on the different colors of the horn and wings on the characters we've already seen.And before someone shows me a pic of the action figure Izzy again - I am strictly talking about the brushables here. Mostly because they give me G2 flashbacks and G2 had clip-on wings that were different colors than the main body. It also seems like toys won't have painted hooves or gradients on their legs (judging by the few pics we've gotten). I'm just thinking Hasbro will cheap out big time on these since most of the budget seems to flow into the animation.
I wouldn't get my hopes up, but I was thinking maybe we would get a head revision down the road. I think the heads look nothing like the movie characters because the toys were probably based off of 2D concept art. They probably had not done the 3D models yet. Also, before the 2017 G4 redesign, the earth pony heads got a weird update around 2014, maybe even 2013? They actually ended up looking worse than they did before, but it definitely happened. I can't remember exactly what they changed. I think something about the position of the muzzle and I think the eyes might've been slightly altered too. I'm not dragging my Pinkie Pies out to check.
