Fluttershy is a Unipeg.
(Every pony in the photo is a prototype/variant/error of some kind. Except possibly Cherry Berry, whom I can't diagnose from this angle, but the context strongly suggests she is one anyway.)



that is so cool! where do you find ones with errors?

It used to be easier than it is now-  before everyone discovered Taobao.  You can still find cool stuff on Taobao (you have to buy through a third party agent).  Generally finding stuff entails searching through hundreds of pages of poorly described/translated Taobao pages- trying to figure out if it is a prototype or test pony or just a new pony that hasn't hit the shelves yet-  OR a fakie.

Finding cool stuff is harder now because a) WAY more people searching so when cool stuff does show up it sells out in seconds b) The sellers have wised up and price newly discovered stuff pretty high; c) the factories cranking out fakies are getting better and better so it is increasingly harder to figure out whether you are looking at a new licensed pony or idea, or a fakie.

For all of the above reasons- shopping on Taobao is not nearly as fun or rewarding as it once was- it was like a fun game, now it's just frustrating (to me).

Easier now to wait for others to find the cool stuff and wait for them to sell it...

yeah, ive been on Toabao, its not a very user friendly, ive actually never seen something on there that is so unusual that I just have to buy it. Plus, a lot of it is in Chinese (I think) so I cant read it  :(

Congrats!  I really like the FS ponies- although they are a little TOO big, they are more satisfactory than the ultra small ones with their whispy tails...

Luna is the cutest :D
