Variant eyed TE Sweet Stuff - added black light pics last page :)

I want to say... no it's not, Shell - BUT, I will pull them out later and confirm that...

Wizzer218 those Spanish wonkey eyed variants are slightly terrifying! 

I never knew there were so many TE variants.  I learn something new every time I drop by the arena!

She arrived update on first post!

[Emfen]

She have faded eyes? She looks really interesting though!

[SeashellnBubbles]

I'm not sure if they've faded...the pink streak in her hair has, but her blush is still vibrant. I'm not sure if the sun fades the gloss paint on the eyes as well, but they're different, that's for sure

Oh my gosh!! I love seeing all the different colors in the eyes

[Elisto]

I don't know the relative rate of fading for the gems, but the hair does typically fade faster than the paint in my experience, so it seems conceivable that the gems can fade at an in-between rate, especially since that Fizzy on the previous page with a faded eye still seems to have some blush left. Unless that's just a smudge...

I think I may have to do a test and try sunfading a bait Sweet Stuff with normal purple eyes and good gloss to see how it fades. I won't do it to the one in the pic...she's got great shine, and yeah, she has some cancer, the the pink streak in her mane and tail are so vibrant...I just don't have the heart to bait her if I can help it!

[Elisto]

Instead of fading another one, maybe you can just ask for photos of ones that are faded and see if they have blush?

[SeashellnBubbles]

I don't think there are many examples of known faded TE eyes out there...I've tried looking them up via Google, but all the ones I found still have a *hint* of purple or it's a completely different color to begin with, like the pink of Fizzy's eyes, and I can't really base anything off that, since pink and purple fade differently. Most people who are sunfading their ponies cover the blush as well as the hair and symbols, too.
I had a Sweet Stuff who'd have been perfect, but i sold her recently...I guess I'll just have to wait or if someone else has a baity one that they can do the test on, that'd be cool, too

I like the update, "She's a freak! Everybody run!"

[hathorcat]

She has super light eyes. The colour does fade and I have seen a few over the years very light but those look as though they had no colour in them at all; not even a trace of purple. I would be tempted to think they may have been that originally. But unfortunately its not possible to say for certain. b

I'd agree with this.

[SeashellnBubbles]

No, there's no purple or pink in them at all, Cat. I've tried looking at them under a black light as well (yeah, I'm just that intense) and while the normal sweet stuff doesn't really glow at all, hers glow a very obvious green color. Again, not a definative, but another difference, anyway.
I tried asking the seller, but they responded that they didn't know. Other than the eyes, the first streak of hair is more bluish than purple, but that's it for differences. Even the shades of their bodies are almost identical! Grrrrr....I wish there were some way to know for certain.
Does anyone else have any ideas?

[Elisto]

That faded Fizzy Breyer posted seems to have no color left either though.

As for this one's eyes looking green, are you sure that's not just the way it's just refracting the blue-ish body color (or some remaining blue pigment since pink/red fades first) through the iridescent finish? It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures since the first one looks totally clear and the other two look colored.
