"Maybe Hasbro got some kind of discount deal on it?"When you place a production order they will build it to the costs you request/spec. Hence why I think it's a cost issue. they knew what the traditional quality of a pony cost, and opted for cheaper. Low quality pony for a better quality playset? or simply the fact one doesn't see the pony until after purchase and it reduced the cost of the set to what the market wanted to pay (and the market wanted a pony included- so a bonus freebie quality?)? I don't know.
Personally I have only seen Sprinkles and Majesty with flat hair. They also both have the same shade of blue. Maybe Hasbro got some kind of discount deal on it? I'm especially sad for Majesty; the queen should have better hair! And then the pony pattern balding, yikes. I think it was intentional, to allow her crown to sit nicely.I had NBBE Cuddles and concave foot Peachy as a kid and they both had normal high-quality hair. I didn't have Lemon Drop as a kid but I've picked up many secondhand and they had normal MLP hair.Edit: About Peachy's hearts changing color, it's just due to the color of pink they used for her symbols. It also occurs on Love Melody, Heart Throb (but not Baby Heart Throb), part of Scoops' symbol, Posey, and Baby Crumpet. It happens if they've been left at the mercy of the sun's UV rays for a long time.
