Strange alternate Birthflower?
« on: June 05, 2013, 10:46:58 PM »
Dear Nirvana Collectors

I was just searching eBay to check the current prices on alt. birthflowers, when I came by this completed auction:

Either that is a really strange/repro-kind of Morning Glory, or, a custom..?
Her hair is much longer than normal, her symbol is weird and her eyes different.. (usually they are much darker black)

As a huge birthflower enthusiast, I just thought is was interesting :)

My first impression is that she looks like a rehair at least. The eyes and symbols look factory, at least in the 1st picture. However, that seller raised some red flags in TS (possible repeat scammer) but I don't know if anything was ever confirmed.

My guess would be rehair as well. In addition to the length, it just doesn't look quite right...

she looks like a rehair/custom to me :)

I wonder what the initials under her foot are?

Yes, to me too, it just does not seem like the bidders thought so..

Oh yeah- the description says "under the foot is initials and a year"http://www.ebay.com/itm/My-Little-Pony-G1-alternate-birthflower-/290914054726?pt=TV_Movie_Character_Toys_US&hash=item43bbd43246&nma=true&si=LiNDKxVUucdwhz5WS847qJH3Ggg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
 
She's definitely a re-root.   That price is shocking.

The seller acts like she doesn't know it's a re-root- but has included the details that shows that it is.  Is it possible she doesn't know?  Doesn't that seem unlikely?  I feel bad for the sucker who bought that pony...

As for the thread in TS I mentioned, here it is:

If it is Brook, then I'd bet she knew it was a rehair and left the description vague on purpose...
