Wave 5 Card Comparison?
« on: January 08, 2013, 03:06:16 PM »
I could have sworn that they had better artwork of Cadence on the card...but when I looked up ebay, it showed a generic picture (like of celestia and luna)...

...any pics or confirmations? Or is it my crazy imagination?

Here's a shot of the one in my card binder if it's any help. We get the international blind bag cards where I live, so the art on the cards that come with the US release might be different.

Do you mean you thought the cards looked more like the below two auctions?

The promo shots of the cards for sales and the initial waves which showed up on taobao and ebay had the more elaborate artwork. Could it be perhaps that the tester waves and promo shots had this and then the actual release got a downgraded bit of copy?

I was thinking the artwork looked odd on my Princess' cards when I got them! It's probably because I had only seen those other ver. of them before. Guess they decided they wanted the image to look more like the toy.
