Title: Haven't found her yet but how much for a lavender hair French Windy?
Post by: jrr74 on December 21, 2015, 04:24:28 PM
I have managed to track down 3 of the 4 Nirvana ponies I want (could afford) at this time, but was wondering how much the lavender hair French Windy is going to set me back?  Until i have my girl, I may just make a custom to hold her place  :unsure:  Already ordered the hair, just need a Moonstone with a good body but rubbed cutie mark and bad hair (cut/damaged).

Lavender windy? She is very rare I guess that she would cost 2 K or more.

That price is definitely a turn off  :(.  Maybe she will just be my grail pony and I will just have to settle for a custom -_-

I agree with aniko' price for her, she is very hard to find.

yes that one is very hard to find. All french ponies at the moment seem to have disappeared from the market. They use to pop up more frequently in the past. Most collectors if they have the rare variants tend to hold on to them tight. I had one many years ago that I sold. I regrettied selling her and when another popped up a few years back I grabbed her. I havent seen another for sale since.

I did a google search and found one that sold on eBay back in June for $300.  If was an auction, not even a BIN price.  Of course the seller was from France.  But I now have some hope that I may own this beautiful little girl one day at a price I can afford.    :frolic:

wow really.. yes sometimes things pop up that the rest of us collectors are unaware of and in those cases you can get a good deal. it depends on the title of the auction mainly and whose searching at the time.. sometimes people leave out key words  for auctions so when the rest of us search the auction does not show up.

It was eBay UK if that explains the low pricing a little better

Congratulations Bibinettepony on such an awesome find/purchaes.  With the price that she has been quoted at, you did good for yourself.  I only started collecting again in August of this year and she wasn't even on my radar until a couple weeks ago.  This is a good thing for you, I may have given you a little competition  :snicker:

@Ember1  Two words 'Eye Candy'  :dribble:  If I wanted to do a custom of her, which common ponies have her closest hair color?  Blossom and Applejack?  I think I ordered the wrong colors from Dollyhair.  She is also close to Moonstone's body color correct?  Her colors are so vibrant from other ones I have seen on the internet.

I would go with moonstones body as a base. Im not sure which colors of dolly hair work.

Last time I checked it was $600! I'm definitely keeping her in a safe right now  :ninja:

Ember yours looks like different hair colours in the photo to the others!  Reminds me of Mulberry in Dollyhair more than Lemon Drops's colour.

*shocked hiccup* Oh wow, didn't know she was this expensive either. Mine was a bargain 2 years back (under $100).

Her hair is Wisteria from Dollyhair (at least... that matches up with my Windy). Golden Delicious matches up fairly well with the yellow

Your Windy is beautiful too!  Some day, but not for $1k-$2k

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Windy too.  Hearing how much others have only paid for her gives me hope, granted it is still a pretty decent amount of money to spend on a pony.  It may be a long shot finding one less than $500, but one worth waiting for her.  Also thank-you for clarifying up the hair colors.  As soon as I can get over the thought of having to sacrifice Moonstone to create her, I will attempt my first custom (more like reproduction) pony. That's probably never going to happen because I like Moonstone too much.  May just have to pay someone to do my dirty work for me.  :biggrin:

Yall have me curious now.
Here she is next to greek peachy. There seems to be a bit of a difference.
Her hair is purple but it has a bit of a pink overtone.  Perhaps just because shes in very minty condition?

It is more pinky and soooo silky smooth looking :)

If her hair coloured turns out to be unique, I wouldn't be surprised as each country have unique hair colours and textures.
