Lol! Is it odd I spotted the wings before the missing hair? Sometimes my ability to overlook the obvious is worrying.

I would definitely keep her the way she is - obviously she missed the hair threading machine as the lines from the mould are there in the head just no hole plugs and then she got the wrong wings! She is all kinds of factory error...congrats :)

Hahaha Cat, I noticed the wings first too!!  I'm all like: "Why does Sky Dancer have Cool Breeze's wings?"  Then I saw that she had no hair. 
I must say that I absolutely envy your phenomenal eBay win and if you ever consider selling her...* a girl can dream, right:)*

Could she be some sort of prototype? Though that would be really weird if her wings are Cool Breeze's.
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.

Ok that is odd as Buzzer has Whirlys wings - a year separates the pony release from the wing design release!

Nightmimic can I ask what country the seller was from out of curiosity?

that one is an odd ball, I'd keep her as is but maybe make a wig for her so the other ponies don't laugh at her xD
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

Those aren't even her wings! How cool, she could be an original factory test, like a mold and tool test. You have something really unique on your hands! I know id pay a pretty penny for her. Congrats.

How do Winger wings work? Is it possible their originals broke and then the original owner replaced them with spare wings taken from whoever?
should be perma-moderated

I was wondering the same actually on this. I think cracking the head open and checking is about the best way.

O_O That Buzzer has Starry Wings tail.

Possible but its quite an awkward thing to do - you need to remove the head and the back cap. Also if you were going to that kind of effort why not give her a correctly coloured tail?

I would doubt it could be the original owner as those wings were only available on a pony which was for sale a year after the pony who they have been added to [and thats the case for both the Buzzer and the Sky Dancer] - seems a lot of effort for something when no effort was put in to finish the pony.

I second this.  Daisylind on Etsy makes spot on reproduction wings, and even I have a tough time telling the difference between the original and the repros.  Let me ask you about Sky Dancer's wings:  Are they thicker plastic or do the feel thinner and more translucent?
Can you tell which are original and which are repro???

I don't know if it's a factory error or if it is a pony that had an attempted restore but the hair was never finished. From one of the pictures I can. Faintly see some lines for hair. I think the hair was removed but heat has made the holes close. Just my thoughts.

No the lines are positioning guides...they are part of the actual mould. So the ponies come out with the 2 guidelines in place...then they moved on have the plugs punched for the hair. Sometimes you can see complete or partial guidelines on ponies where the hair punching missed them and the hair was put in slightly the wrong position :)
