If the hoof says hasbro she's not a fakie. As much as I enjoy the blindbags I'll be the first to admit that they have never been high quality.It seems like she's made from a mold that was made from an official blind bag--hence the smallness and narrowness overall. So naturally she still has the hoof info, she was made from an official product.
Do you mean the one with matching hair + tail? Cuz if not, she's not a fakie. My Ploomette has mismatched hair, too, and I bought her like all my other blind bags.Hmmm! The plot thickens. Two questions:

1.) Did you buy her out of a bag, or on ebay?
2.) Are her head and body one piece or two? The deciding factor for me is that, since Hasbro just does not make blind bags in one piece (unless they've recently changed their mold).

I bought the rest of the set off EbayI should have known! Well, I got most of the next set, or at least of the ones I'm interested in. Just missing that beautiful Twilight Velvet Applejack, and I guess I may pass on the darker-maned Prism Glider if he's not a real prototype, since the visual difference is too subtle to be covetable on its own. And now I need to get myself a real Dainty Daisy to match the fake one... oh, life is hard!
So the moral of this post is to only buy blind bags from stores?
Violet: Haha, yep! There's also been a Flitterheart, Roseluck, and Periwinkle with them. I want a Flitterheart fakie, just for completion's sake.Yeah, but none of them looked wrong, though I should pick up a Periwinkle at some point...
Hmm I rather find her an error/protoype, also because she has an production code under her hoof wich relates to the date: 4 May 2013.
Of course, the seller says (thanks to google translate) that they are genuine :POh, well, in that case! The seller definitely has full knowledge of the subject and no possible ulterior motives, after all.
Hmm, now that's interesting! I tried bending the head on mine all different ways, but I can't see a seam anywhere. I'll check the new set when they come in!
Could you get a picture of yours seen head-on (both eyes visible), and also the hoof with the hole in it, both compared to an official, non-error blind bag? I want to compare the mold, since both places on my Bluemette are visibly narrower than an official one.
You're positive that's the (possibly) fake one? I mean, Prism Glider is always gray-maned. I wouldn't mind seeing some comparison shots of both versions of him.

Yep, the mane on mine is several shades darker than my legit one. He's also shiny plastic and his eyes are shaped like Rainbow Dash's. I gotta be out the door soon, but I'll post a comparison when I get back.

Hmmm! Now that's interesting. Until my others arrive, I'm comfortable supposing that mine's head and neck are just...uncommonly well fit together or something? :lol: But the plastics and cutie marks are definitely different between the two, which is interesting since Prism Glider is in production now. Someone who can read production codes, would you mind translating both of them?
I have two Prism Gliders at the moment (not by choice (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181342103196)), and they both say 33081 on the hoof. Which is quite a trick, considering I got them over a month apart from one another and from two different sellers.
where does the original's end and the fakies beginThese ones are ridiculously close. I compared fakie Lily Blossom to real Lily Blossom and would not have known which was which without checking the hooves. If only they came up with their own designs with this quality (or, better, personally asked me to come up with designs for them).
