People like ponies. People like money. People like status symbols. Mimic is a pony, green like money, makes people money and is a collector status symbol. That's my personal hypothesis.

Our lowest denomination note is the green one here...I guess that's why she wasn't sold here? Didn't make enough money?? xD
I think I'm going to try to make one...I have an HQG1C blank in her pose laying around, and if I can get the green dye right I'm going to give it a go. While I'm still hoping to randomly find her in the wild for like, $1(keep dreaming, right?!), I'm not paying $400 for her on Ebay.

I'm just really leery about getting the color right...usually when dyeing a pony I have another pony to compare it to so I know I get it right...wish I had a local friend I could borrow a Mimic from for a day! And Rit dye doesn't have a real great shade of green in their Dyemore arsenal...
Admittedly I've only ever had three or four in person, but I don't think there's a variation in her body colour so much as it's a really difficult colour to photograph well. It's a yellow-green colour, but the exact way to describe it otherwise, I'm not sure. I can't think off the top of my head of a pony with the same colour scheme (although I could go look...I can't think of any off the top of my head, they're all a shade or two out).The Mimics I've had in my possession were all exactly the same colour, anyway. And I know people sometimes say she looks whiteish, but that's a trick of the lighting imo.

And Rit dye doesn't have a real great shade of green in their Dyemore arsenal...I picked up a neon green. Maybe if you combine it with pale or neon yellow? Mimic never seems to be one color anyway. I've seen her white tinted with green, honeydew green and a light sickly yellow.
