Just a picture reference 

Thank you Sunset for the exciting updates, this just keeps on getting better and better!

Another thing I am going to add here is that no matter how perfect one side looks the other is unknown. When I deboxed Sunlight, there was a black spot on her foot (non display side) that I was able to get most of it off with just water but there is a small black smudge still left (looked like ink or paint drop). I had to take a moment and remind myself it was a $10 "toy" and move on with it since I really did not want to scrub a brand new pony with a magic eraser and it wasn't going to be seen on the shelf anyways. Yes, I know, we are collecting them and we want them to be perfect (so do I trust me) but the G1's were not perfect either. Factory flaws are an unfortunate reality, unless we want them to have a "collectors item" price tag.

As important as it is to have a good quality product, I worry a bit about the perfection search as well - and mostly the returning of ponies because of minute manufacturing issues which are a part of most toys in most lines. Too many returns are a threat to the line overall, and really, it's as toyjunky says. These are cheap toys. I don't think it's wrong to scrutinise every pony in every box if it is important to you - but returning items to a shop raises a red flag against the line in general. And given how many flaws from package G1 had and even still have on MOC items...it just seems a bit crazy to me to care about tiny imperfections.

Excellent points, couldn't have said it better.

I completely agree with your points on Cherries Jubilee, she wasn't my favorite initially but somehow that changed throughout the years and I consider her an essential now. I also share the same views on the 2nd Rainbow set, those are needed considering how tricky it is to find them in good condition.

Seeing how the So Softs don't seem to be planned for 2019 yet (based on their response to Kiwichi's question) that leads me to believe the "collector ponies" could be the 1985 earth ponies as it would introduce 6 new characters and chronologically they are accurately tied up with the 2nd Rainbows and 2nd Unicorns and Pegasus which share the same poses.

I didn't know there were so many different ones. Is there any sure way to tell them apart? So if you have a random one you can see which type it is?

When you all are talking about a "deeper" pink, what do you mean? Is it brighter pink? Or less purple-y pink?

The lilac/purple pink body as NightGliderSA mentioned and the crisp quality of the symbols is another way to tell, earlier batches tend to have the paint bleed into the plastic specifically the orange paint under the glitter creating a halo effect around the shapes which does not happen with later releases. Brown eyeliner also indicates a later batch and the set can be separated into the following:

- 1985 original US retail release (most common, several batches, bleeding symbols, prone to problems)
- 1986/1987/1988 US retail release (no issues, different hair plugs and better quality, no bleeding symbols)
- 1987 mail order (may have issues as symbols do bleed but never seen any in terrible condition)
- 1986/1987/1988 European release (made in HK, similar to later US, whitest Confettis belong to this batch)
- 1988 and later mail orders (identical to 1986/1987 batches)
- 1991 mail orders (left over from last production runs)
