Title: Factory Error/Sample Basic Fun Fizzy
Post by: nightmimic on November 08, 2022, 01:00:01 PM
Hi all

Found this lot on a well known Chinese website  :) Don't Know if the Fizzy is a Factory Error, Sample or the Body mold was a factory error so the fizzy head was just put on? as I don't think Basic Fun has released a pony in that pose and colour  :wonder: Cotton Candy looks the same but has symbols on the one side only.

Edit  :work: here are the photos

hope the link works  :drunk:

The images aren't loading for me :( I tried checking 'em on my phone too and still no dice, aw. It sounds interesting, I'm not sure how many oddball/protos we've seen for Basic Fun :)

That's interesting, looks like she has the tail for the rainbow ponies.

I can see them now :) How interesting, I wasn't anticipating her to have a rainbow tail. I love factory oddballs like this!! I wonder what her story is.

The "finalized" Fizzy has a metal ball in her hind hoof to keep her from falling onto her raised front hoof.  I wonder if this was another idea they had, to simply put her body in a more stable pose.  I'm glad they stuck with her original pose, though!

Love the pose variation.

I’m surprised Hasbro didn’t put unicorn heads onto earth pony bodies and vide versa. Would have been an easy to mix things up with little added cost.

I actually think that pose works really well.

I agree, it reminds me of the slightly thicker body of the rearing pose and I really like it a lot.

it would be great if there were many left but so glad a fellow arena collector got them  :satisfied:
you are so lucky. iv found factory error samples in the wild which means someone snapped up cheap ponies for there kids then donated them when they were finished with them.  :cool:

I wonder if this Fizzy could have been a sample to either see how the unicorn head would look on the Gingerbread pose or maybe they were testing dye lots? On my screen Fizzy's head looks like a slightly different color than the body.  I wonder where the rainbow tail came from?

oh that is a cool find :-) I would love it if BF made an alternative pose fizzy :-) but yeah seems like maybe that was just a pose/color test who knows... if only the toys could speak
