Hi everyone, I am trying to put together a manufacturing timeline of G4 Cupcake/Sugarcup.
Can anyone help me out and find the 5 digit date code (printed in black) on the bottom of your Cupcake's foot and report it in this thread? It would be greatly appreciated. Oh yes, I should mention there are sometimes 2 codes, and I am looking for the one without the # sign.
I am trying to see what reverse Cupcake's (this gal down here) manufacturing date is in relation to Cupcake's regular release. I am expecting to see that she was made right before regular regular Cupcake, since she is in all of the promotional photos, but I am also really curious to see when the first regular Cupcakes were made.

Thanks for your help, guys. I will post and compile the info at the end, too.

regular cupcake
left hoof: #32913
right hoof: 10661

Thanks for starting things off, Valkohai :biggrin:

10661

I get this feeling we are going to see lots of 10661's. My one Cupcake has that number, too! I guess it means most of them so far were made or stamped in the factory on the 66th day of the year 2011, so March 7th, 2011.

10961
-
The product ID code for Cupcake is 32913/21456.
Good luck!
-
I got my Cupcake at Walmart in early October 2011 if that means anything.
-
Regular: 10961
-
It will certainly be interesting if the promo shot Cupcake has a much earlier number.
Alas I dont have my Cupcake to hand for her reference.
-
This looks interesting! Mine's 11581, although I bought her secondhand so I'm not sure when she was in the store.
-
Another 10661 regular Cupcake - I got her from HTS, I think.
-
Mine is also a 10661 number
-
Yet another 10661 Cupcake. She also has the purple part of her mane first
edit: My AJ with bangs is 02421.
-
Thanks so much for your help so far, everyone :biggrin:. One day we should try and determine when bangs ponies were discontinued, too.
-

02631

-

-
My Cupcake is 11361.
-
10961 here.
Purchased in early October 2011 but I'm afarid I don't remember which store.
-
Lol, sorry to bump the dead topic, but I had forgotten to post the results.
Prototype Cupcake is 3 months older than the earliest Cupcake. I guess this means that Hasbro commissioned Cupcake samples from the factory, then all of the lead up to her getting manufactured in mass quantities took 3 months.
Thanks everyone again for the info. I was very curious.

Awesome information Bright Idea!
All these details do seem to confirm that so many of the oddities which turn up on Taobao are test or sample batches.
-
Very interesting! We should do this again!
