The ones that were sold first had larger eyes, so it confirms that it was the prototype or factory reject/experiment version of her. As for the ones sold after the first few waves, they seem to be the final product with the smaller eyes like all the other FS ponies. ..I will name her Bubblecup! ;A;/

Ooh, if someone collects factory variants the larger-eyed ones might be valuable someday! You can't fake BIGGER eyes, after all; it's not like wiping off a symbol and calling your pony a "mysterious blank flank".

I also understand why people are disappointed it isn't G3 since that was a tradition right?

It is. And when Hasbro unveiled the new G4 toys two years ago they told us that even though there was a new line/generation of toys they would continue to utilize the G3 mold for art ponies and exclusives. A lot of people have been collecting the G3 art/exclusives for a while now, so to me it seems like such a slap in the face for hasbro to cave to the pressure of these new fans and go back on what they told their long-time collectors.

Smart business sense? Yes. Understandable? Yes. But it's still disappointing to me.
