Yeah, I asked about Feathermay a few years ago and was told that she was sold with the head/body mismatch I dunno what's up with it, it's a real shame, especially considering it hits unique characters like her the hardest. I expect to see these problems down the line esp. with older toys like G1s, but head/body mismatch fresh out of the package is just awful...
It is indeed because different types of plastic were used for the head versus the body. Hasbro tried to color-match them but it's imperfect, especially for the first wave of G4s. I don't know the exact reason why . . . maybe easier or cheaper to manufacture the body like that? Their process was definitely different compared to G1s and G3s, as you can see "seam lines" on the bodies of G4s around the chest area. Whereas the G4 heads do seem like traditional vinyl heads. You can feel the difference, their bodies are more rubbery compared to the heads.I think this changed on the post-movie G4 ponies, to me they feel like both head + body are made of the same material, and also they don't seem to have any mismatch.
