Title: Is this a scoops variant?
Post by: kingluke on March 19, 2020, 01:16:25 PM

Hello everyone,

I saw this scoops on instagram with blueish markings instead of purple/pink. Is she like a variant or is she a custom?
Does anyone know?

I'm on my phone so I can't share the link but her username is hellojodi on instagram. Please check if you can

Thank you.

Cheers,

Luke

Ahh yeah I saw that post too! Having looked at her for a bit I think it's possible her paint just faded weirdly. I've noticed that the cup/glass part of Scoops' symbols sometimes partially fade to blue, and the ice cream parts look like they've faded to white. I'm not aware of a variant like that but others might know more, perhaps? As far as I know there aren't any Nirvana Scoops either, but of course I'm still just a novice at ID'ing Nirvanas so I could be wrong there.

Edit: I did some googling and I found this one (https://images.app.goo.gl/bLSQbVBC7RuLq6ug9). She also had blue-ish symbols. There was also this one (https://images.app.goo.gl/k8uaPPDudWozTZWp6), who looks to be partially faded to blue.

my guess is faded.  Kinda like when AJ gets yellow apples or bluebelle ends up with pink hair

She just looks faded to me! It's a lovely fade, though.

Yeah, definitely faded. Red is the first pigment to go in sunlight, so the purple will go to blue and pink will go to white.

It's from fading.  I used to have a Scoops like that, but mine wasn't completely faded, more like half and half.  :)
