Post by: Rachel-Eyes on August 23, 2014, 02:43:20 PM: I saw this on the Arena Facebook. Very nice find! Something about her face reminds me of Flutters a bit.

I'm curious too... I wonder where she came from?

Post by: LightingElectricDream on August 24, 2014, 07:41:40 AM: It could be a bootleg or from another country.. Reminds my of bully ponies. Or someone did a carveing for a ceramic shop and there you go hand crafted.

That's exactly what I was thinking! The kit where you can make your own clay/plaster ponies. She is very cool- if she did come from that kit, that may explain why she has no hoof markings. She looks about the size of one of those plaster pony molds.

Post by: Mermaid on August 25, 2014, 01:04:20 AM: The glazed finish on her makes me think she's not a design your pony clay kit. Those often have a matte Finish depending on the paint you used.

Her being glazed like she is makes me think she's been in a kiln. The 70s and 80s were all about random ceramic figures. I have half a dozen of just unicorns. Which makes me think she's just a ceramic pony with no ties to the actual mlp line.

She's certainly cute and reminiscent of a g1!

Post by: hathorcat on September 07, 2014, 02:25:31 PM: She is super cute :) I have seen her pop up before but I am under the impression she is simply a non Hasbro/non licensed ceramic. Something taking MLP inspiration rather than being MLP. However she is very close especially from the front - she looks more MLP than the actual porcelains.
