Title: She ra Royal Swift Wind
Post by: 01mlplover on June 24, 2015, 12:25:08 PM
I just came across a listing on eBay for royal swift wind and I didn't even know she existed. Can I see pics of any she ra collectors royal swift winds? I'd love to find her for sale loose and not mib. Seems like that's all I could find on eBay.

Royal Swiftwind is pretty rare.
I have all of the She Ra horses regular releases w/all their stuff, and only saw a royal twice appear loose on ebay during all my buying days. It was always a load of money too, even before these days where the Sha Ra stuff is going for more than it used to.

Did you know there's a Royal type of Catra's Storm horse too? That one's even rare-er than Royal Swiftwind.

The royals weren't high on my list because while they are different (longer hair, that cuff on the tail, different accessories) they weren't that super big different that wanted to make me spend again.

Does anyone know what the deal was with these?
Like, why did they feel a need to make 'royal' horses?

I prefer Royal Swifty to the original, because it is a little more similar to the cartoon version. I actually bought mine MIB and removed it from the package.

Here's a pic of my She-ra collection. Silver Storm is in there, too.

I vaguely remember the royal ones! I always liked the Crystal Swift Wind with the Starburst She-Ra. I still have them both but missing some pieces.. I had the Shower Power? Catra and the horse (that was my favorite!) but lost the horse. One day I will get an original She-Ra to replace the one I lost. What other horses are more rare? I have Sunbeam ? (who was supposed to be Sweet Bee's horse  if I remember correctly!)

The Royal Swift Winds do pop up somewhat regularly on eBay. The hot pink hair version is more common while the light pink one shows up much less often. Silver Storm is Catra's horse from the third series and not quite as rare or as pricey, but still up there. 

The first set of horses is Swift Wind, Storm and Arrow. The second set is Crystal Swift Wind, Crystal Moonbeam and Crystal Sundancer. These are all pretty easy to find. Unfortunately so many sellers nowadays put the Princess of Power toys for sale with outrageous prices. :pout: There are also international releases of each of these horses and many of the figures for anyone as obsessive as I am. I've been a She-Ra fan since I was a kid and love them as much as MLP. :)

Here's Silver Storm

I once bought one on Ebay (many years ago) along with another She-Ra item. It was the first time I ever got scammed on Ebay :/ I never got my horse and I never got my money back.

That's an amazing She-ra collection! How many Spinnerellas do you have?!? I hope to get one someday, but I have been saying that for many years :(

Your customs are good, I especially like Angella.

I really like him, he looks closer to the show than "regular" Swiftwind or the transparent versions.  But I like Catra's horse even better.

Aww, they are both very pretty :)

I never really had any of the toys though

Oh, I had the clear blue one.  I loved him.  He smelled like candy.

I only have Frosta, Peekablue and Crystal Moonbeam left. I parted with the rest of my She-Ra stuff. I may even part with the remaining three, who knows. I love them, but collections take up a lot of space and being a homeschooling family means our home has to be home and school. I even cleared out my craft room, put my Etsy paper shop on vacation and have been selling items off.

If you ever want to sell, I'd be interested in Crystal Moonbeam   and also possibly Peekablue.  :) I'd give them a great home. Loved She-Ra and still have most of my childhood collection.  :)

Awesome :) I will let you know. They are currently living in my closet. I think they would be better off displayed and loved :)

I still have all mine from childhood except for Perfuma.  I think my sister's friend stole her.  They were always playing with my dolls (which was okay), but she was very grabby about Perfuma, and one day Perfuma went missing after a play session.  So we think that is what happened.  I did replace her with one off ebay years later. 

I had (have) nearly all of the dolls minus a few of the villains because I thought they were ugly.  I did have Catra and Entrapta.  I never saw Spinnerella or else I would have had her.  Because the horses were bigger we only got a couple of them.  And I did have the castle too.  I think it is in storage.  But is is a big toy and takes up a lot of space.  I am lucky mom hasn't thrown it out.

Man those are beautiful!  *NONE* of my childhood She-Ra stuff is with me now, they all disappeared with the sands of time... I have some re-issues from Matty Collector but I think this Royal Swift Wind is way prettier!

Wow nice Shera collection!  Most of my Shera collelction is from my childhood but I did add a few items I was missing although I do not have Royal Swiftwind or Spinnerella :/

I'd LOVE to have a Royal Swiftwind and Silver Storm in my collection, but I refuse to pay ebay prices, so I just keep hoping I'll get lucky at a thrift store or yard sale.  Last year I found several MOC She-Ra figures at a yard sale, so I know it's still possible, lol. 

My collection of figures is just missing Netossa, Peekablue, and the elusive Spinerella...I'm missing the royal horses and the Crystal horses.  And that dang Sea Harp, lol.  It always escapes me on ebay!
