How to I.D. G4 FS ponies?

[Radha]

    This might be a basic question, but I've found a couple of FS sized G4's while thrifting recently.  I don't personally collect G4 and it seems like there are several 'releases' of the FS sized ones?

     I'm wondering how to ID and pc them to sell them, since I don't have any accessories (well, Cadence is wearing cowboy boots? Not sure why...)   I know I could post a pic and ask here, but if there is a reference site I'd be happy to look and so bug our pc people a little less

You can check the website link in the coming soon thread linked above or www.strawberryreef.com to see the Fashion Style ponies. If a pony is released in the same packaging in multiple waves she will not be different release to release. But some of the ponies such as Celestia and Luna have minor variances in glitter/pearl coating/tinsel etc which will differentiate depending on which release they are.

Other than Applejack [and Fluttershy], most of them will run on or less than retail in value especially if missing their accessories.

If you cant get pictures you could just tell us which ponies they are as well as any significant features and people will be able to tell you which release they are.

Thanks, Hathorcat! I hadn't noticed that Strawberry Reef does G4, I guess because I never needed it 

    I have gem eyed Cadence and alt. hair Luna.  I actually really like them- they feel much sturdier and maybe higher quality than the little g4's my daughter has.  It seems like the plastic is different?

I think because of the size and price point they are a little better quality in production. But I dont think its a crazy difference; probably the size and therefore the additional thickness of the plastic adds to the perception of better quality.

If your Cadance has cowboy boots on she is the most recent release and it sounds like your Luna was a couple of waves before that
