FF Minty differences/question

[princessluna11706]

It isn't much, but here's the story with my Mintys-

I've had a bald FF Minty for the longest time, and always intended to rehair her, but when I saw another girl at the fair I decided to buy her and put the bald girl in the sale/trade box.  Now that I look at them both, there are some small differences-

Their body colors are different, but I chalk this up to "baldie" (awww!) being yellowed-although her tail color is also more of an off white.  The new girl's hair is pure white.

Their symbols/eyes: the bald girl has crisp, clear symbols and eyes.  The new girl has bleeding symbols (never saw this on a standard non-nirvana pony like this), and are slightly brighter green.  Her eyes are the exact same color, but a touch blurry.  Not airbrushed blurry, but still not as crisp.

Their hoof stamps are exactly the same.
I'm thinking whether to keep both girls now.. any thoughts?  I don't think she's a real varaint, but maybe a different factory?  Has anyone seen FF ponies have differences (I know CC ponies such as Cotton Candy who were produced over several years have but not like FF Minty) 

Thanks!

My FF Minty looks like your "new girl" and also has the slightly airbrushed eye look. I like the off-white of baldy's tail!

Even though the newer girl has little bit blurred symbols, I think her coloring is better. She looks brighter both hair and body, while the other looks a little faded. It doesn't hurt to keep both if you really want, but with the lack of space....

Possibly batch and aging differences? Mine looks like your baldy.

Thanks everyone!  Good to know that others have one of each girl respectively, which tells me that it def is a different batch release (and not just one girl's issues lol.) It also leads me to think that baldie possibly isn't faded, that maybe that is the color she was supposed to be.

I may now have to keep both.. darn space issues!  I have to find an off white hair donor for poor baldie-now that I know her hair isn't pure white *_*

Its definitely just a batch issue with her plus I do think the bald one looks pretty badly yellowed with age so originally they were probably no where near as disparate in colour.

I would end up keeping both as well
