Title: Orangish HK Cotton Candy with pink hair?
Post by: Nella on October 20, 2018, 02:01:26 AM: I've got another mystery: not really pink, more like orange body-colored Cotton Candy with regular pink hair. It doesn't seem to be discolored because the color is even over her complete body. Her hooves say Hong Kong (pat pend).

Any idea?

Is this a batch-difference or a variant?

Post by: Baby Sugarberry on November 15, 2018, 04:12:53 PM: I've also had one or two CC's that looked like this, so yet another vote for 'factory variation'. She's one of the prolific ponies when it comes to batch differences, and given the volume and number of years over which Cotton Candy was released it's not too surprising.
