Title: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: ButtercreamDream on July 09, 2013, 01:17:48 PM
It came up a while back.  Songtoisis found one, and we were trying to figure out if she was rehaired, sunfaded or a variant.  Here's the original thread;
http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,311615.0.html

One just sold on a mint, not at all faded card, so I think it's safe to say she's a variant.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOC-Starglow-Glow-n-Show-Pony-/181169146500

Neat, eh?

Wow, very pretty!

I'm happy just to have her "normal" version... X3

Post by: MiRaja on July 09, 2013, 01:51:43 PM
It also appears that variant has a greener plastic than the normal one?

She looks gorgeous with white hair, congrats to the high bidder!

Wow. I think she looks really great with white hair!

WOW. Sold by Delaneys. Yeah, she's real alright.

I was outbid  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Awe, sorry.  I waited until the auction was over to draw attention to it.  I figured someone might get a steal, but it sure skyrocketed in the last 5s.  As far as I know, it's a one of a kind MOC.  I wonder how many more are out there.

Wow, what a neat variant! I do prefer her with pink hair, but would still love to own one of these beauties oAo

I wasn't going to post this up until the winner posted up on here, just incase someone trys to snag it after its closed. Maybe you should remove the link and just put the picture up.

She's awesome! I've been watching her for days (: def a variant.

Crazy! She looks gorgeous.
Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: maycrestmom on July 09, 2013, 06:03:03 PM
yah I put in a last minute bid and it had already gone past what I thought was crazy at over $150 but I figured it being Delany's it was legit... she mentioned to me she has one loose with a more green body and white and yellow hair when I asked her about whether that item seemed faded.  I had no idea there was prior controversy on that glow-n-show

congrats to whoever got her :-)
Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: Galactica on July 09, 2013, 06:15:24 PM
Looks like the green color is also original to her ?  Or maybe she just looks greener through the package
Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: maycrestmom on July 09, 2013, 06:17:59 PM
I'm thinking from reading the first thread that the green is definitely original to her = cool variant like the blue hearts variety :-) and that is awesome to know it's an only MOC - I can understand why it skyrocketed in the end like that

Yep the last 5 secs I chucked in a bid and was like how much???? lol

Glow n shows are my fave set of all, now to find her even off card is gonna be impossible! Looks like she will be my first grail pony!

Thank you for posting this!  It is nice to have what I suspected verified.  (Plenty thought it was faded and I'm a newb;) ). She's a very pretty girl.

Just goes to show that even 30 years later we're still discovering 'new' G1's! (new to the community I mean!)

She is crazy gorgeous and whelp, looks like I have another expensive pony to put on my wants. Star Glow was one of my two childhood ponies, so I've always been extremely fond of her. I'd love to hear more about her, as soon as we know.

Lucky Clipper!  And please do.  She's real, and those are her normal colors- she hasn't gotten greener or discolored.  Bill and Jeanne have had at least one of her on card since 2001- for they kindly let me take photos back then.  If I had known she was on ebay, I'd have chimed in too for her.  She's still one of my grails.  :)

She is soooooo pretty!! I will have to get a custom version though :P

I was outbid  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh no!! It's so disappointing when it's a rare item too! Sorry you got outbid Hun :(
Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: Jemstar666 on July 11, 2013, 03:22:08 AM
Thnx Partypony, I was more gutted as the only moc set I want to own is the glow n show set (which I still have none of), plus to see she was a varient made it even more exciting lol so now it has just made my moc set harder to complete hehe





YAY!!! I just got a Starglow with terrible haircut and bought her knowing she will get a glow in the dark rehair to go with my Dazzleglow (rehair) , thinking on how i would add in this time, as i kept dazzleglow with original colours and added glow in every 3rd plug, how would I do Starglows different!!!.................

Then I was yay!!!! she is gonna be rehaired like the varient with white(glow) and yellow (any idea on colour match?) so I will have a sort of white haired custom varient very soon!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congrats Clipper! you are very lucky x
Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: Rachel-Eyes on July 11, 2013, 04:04:34 AM
Jemstar, I think those colors would go extremely well with sort of a cool mint color. I'd love to see some green on Star Glow!

Congrats on your win, Clipper! :frolic: Do be sure to let us know about any weird new info if you happen to discover it.

I do!  :) I got her in an estate lot from a woman who'd bought multiples of the same ponies for her grandchildren to play with at her house so there were four Seashells, four Medleys, four Happy Glows, etc.  Having them side-by-side is how I noticed it wasn't just fading/wear variations.  :)

Now that we know this wasn't a one-off fluke or extreme fading--does anyone else have one of these variants?  :)

I honestly have never seen another one song, thats the reason I was so sceptical at the start when she first turned up. She just seemed so unlikely. Its wonderful she has now been confirmed. I am sure you wont find too many others with her at all.

Honestly, if she'd been in poor shape or not come in with her non-variant self, I'm not sure I'd have thought anything but bad discoloring/etc.  With Clipper's MOC, now we know to look for her in lots to come.  I trust more will pop up now.  :)

Post by: Clipper on July 12, 2013, 11:34:00 AM
still not here :( says expected for delivery monday..

 Anyway speaking of hair variants, and I know this is a bit off topic..  along time ago when ebay was new, I saw a masquerade with a white streak in her hair, and emailed the seller asking about it.. they said it was white.. but lost the auction. can anyone confirm on this variant?

Id love to know about the white striked Masquerade too.  :biggrin:
Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: Clipper on July 12, 2013, 11:54:46 PM
She's here!!! The colors are so weird.  I must say she is more green colored the blue. Her yellow is very pale, it looks paler than applejacks hair.. I could be wrong, since she's in the card and I can't physically touch her.
Her foot stamps are the same..
One thing I notice, is the art on the back shows her with white and pink hair. I'm assuming they probably had a few ideas for her, and I bet they released this version just in a first batch of them and switched it during the next go of production.

My question is, does anyone have a MOC USA version of star glow? Or maybe European as well? Can someone post the UPC numbers P/N and ASST numbers on theirs?

This starglow reads

UPC : 038976167922
P/N : 41829801
ASST : 16792/16080

If anyone's interested in additional photos please let me know.  I will try to share as much info as I can!

So are there only two known to exist? One loose and one MOC? This is too cool!! (:
Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: Rosette on July 13, 2013, 04:32:23 AM
Holding her up against other ponies I've got, the likeliest match is to Baby Dancing Butterflies.  Not sure what color that is or what other ponies it was used in, but it is a very delicate light yellow--not Applejack's, or Leaper's, or Baby Crumpet's.

Title: Re: Anyone remember that white haired Starglow mystery?
Post by: maycrestmom on July 13, 2013, 09:51:44 AM
actually I was going to say the yellow looks the same as the other starglow and it's just instead of that heart throb pink, it's white... but maybe it's just me looking at that one photo

:-) congrats on getting a rehair candidate :-) smart to make yourself a custom variant

same as well Ivy, PM me on facebook so I can just get you the pics right then and there !

Also, songtoisis,

I think we should bring our starglows to the pony fair next year and maybe we can get booths by each other and display them under glass , with some other variant/sample/prototype ponies?

just a thought :D

Oh Clipper, while you were downstairs bidding I was doing the same up in my room XD I wasn't willing to go that high though. She's lovely, congratulations!

ETA: And it was mentioned on page 1 of this thread that the Delaneys seem to have a loose Starglow with white and yellow hair too. So two confirmed and one probably... that is so cool!
