Title: ID Help: G3 Sand Dollar De-tinsel vs Factory Error?
Post by: Leopard_Print_Unicorn on May 01, 2024, 09:54:25 AM
I am going through my G3's to sell and I came across this Sand Dollar who is completely missing tinsel in her mane and tail. Not a trace, even at the roots. I bought her used and have had her for years so I don't remember where I got her. Before I list her I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to tell if this was a factory error vs her previous owner removing all the tinsel. I looked around online and didn't find anything about a version without tinsel, and I have all the other ponies from this line. They all have tinsel in their hair.

The only way to be sure would be to pop her head off and look inside.

Love pkw xx

Hmm you know, I don't think I've ever popped the head off or otherwise taken apart or modified anything besides G1.

G3 heads can be really hard to get off. In your second pic I can see little white specs in her plug holes.

Ooh good eye! At first I thought that might be dried product residue but you're right. I just pulled out my husband's lighted magnifying glass and there's a little bit of sparkle at the roots. I'm going to list her as a de-tinsel.

It wasn't uncommon in those days for collectors to pull it out of their G3s. I remember several collectors detinseling because it was just nearly impossible to tame.
