Does an embroidered version of the Applause Firefly plush even exist?

[Skeen]

Because I have never seen one, in all my years of searching!

I don't mean the one with the painted symbols, but one with fully embroidered symbols.  I have embroidered (and painted) versions of the other 3 and have been looking for Firefly for at least 10 years and have never seen even a picture of her.  I assume she exists because the other 3 Applause ponies exist in both versions, but does anyone have a picture? 

And most importantly, if you do have one are you willing to sell her to me?

Yes...I think so...I believe so...hmmmm

The only reason I make the presumption is it would be odd to have made the others and not her. But...and its a but...the embroidered releases are a later release (am I remembering correctly). Perhaps she was not included in a later wave?

What year was the second burst released? I will admit I tend to gloss over the cuddlies in the catalogues a little so I am not sure which years the Applause appear in. I can check if you have an idea of year.

[Skeen]

I'd have to check the tags on my nice ones to get the year but off the top of my head I have no idea.  I do think they were the second wave though because they'd be an "upgrade" from the painted on symbols even though nothing else changed or improved.

My dad worked for applause in the 80's and we still have the catalogs with them I there.. There were for sure two releases on the ponies.. I think firefly was removed from the second release (embroidered symbols) but I can be wrong.. The second release ones in the book actually look more like ponies and not muppet type faces.. I guess they were going to change the body styles as well and then decided against it at the last minute..I will ask my mom to take a picture tonight of both catalogs and try to post them here

Clipper, I love you.

Wow, ask, and you may discover!  The collective knowledge here is amazing!  You never know what sort of unexpected connections you could find.

Neat! I want to see the pictures too!! they are so cute  , I just got Blossom and Cotton Candy but they are the painted symbols ones

I'm curious, what are the prices for Firefly and Glory? painted or embroidered symbols? 

[Skeen]

Typically I don't pay more than $20 for them and even then they have to be in really good shape for that.  They're not particularly sought-after so they're not very expensive.

I see thanks that's a relief, I paid a bit more than that for my two earths but the price included free shipping so I think I didn't do too bad 

Are Firefly and Glory more expensive?

[Skeen]

They can be.  Sometimes they're harder to find, but they're still not particularly sought after so the same ones may sit unsold for a long time.

This doesn't happen all the time, but I keep reading the title as "Applesauce Firefly", which makes me think of when she crashed into Applejack's apples in Rescue at Midnight Castle.
