What's this thing?

Ebay seller's pic.


So, what is that Peachy? She looks too big and shiny to be a molded eraser, pony banks have the space between their legs filled in, and if I'm estimating the height of Bratz shoes correctly, she's roughly the size of my palm.

I thought she might be the top of an electric toothbrush set, but I only found a Lemondrop set in a Google search and Peachy isn't the same mold.

Cake topper? Pencil topper? Any thoughts?

Well the picture isn't loading (I assume because it's a TP album pic and I'm not logged in) but I'm curious!

My money is on cake topper, but I have never seen one like that

[lovesbabysquirmy]

How fascinating!  I wonder if she fastened onto the top of something.  Someone asked about a similar G3 item and it turned out to be part of an umbrella handle... 

[Skeen]

NoD - yes, TP album pic.  I don't have photobucket at work!  Stupid Websense. 

A lady at the TP speculated it was a "straw buddy" but I don't know what that is.  The pony isn't hollow and doesn't have a place for a straw to go through.  Hers has a different colored ribbon to the one in my pic.  Oh!  I should say I bought the lot this thing was in so I'll have it pretty soon for better examination.

Oh she could well be a straw clip on - thats the only think she reminds me of - but the only picture I have ever seen of one was tiny so although she looks pretty similar it could be a coincidence! I guess we ll have to wait for the lot to arrive with you.

Is it possible she's flat on the other side? It's hard to tell on that picture, but if she is it opens up other possibilities like magnet or part of a barrette or something along those lines.

she kind of reminds me of a g1 pony pin i used to have ... have to see if i can get a picture up ...

urg ... i can't find my pic and i can't find it online either ... blarg ... but it was a little brooch that would have been about that size, came in a little plastic stable that opened up on a pink wristband and you put the pin inside it or could wear the pin lol

[Skeen]

If she's the same as the one in the other thread she's definitely not flat on the other side, and probably not squishy.  Ooh, can't wait to get her and find out!

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Hmmm interesting

Hopefully we will find out soon!

[Baby Sugarberry]

I have one of these!
Unfortunately I don't know what she's off of, except perhaps a cake topper?  She's hollow and quite light, with holes under all four hooves.  Full 3D, not flat on the other side, nor with any markings though I strongly suspect she's official, it's impossible to confirm.

Size wise, about 2.5 inches tall, 3 inches long, and 1 inch wide.  Definitely not a pin.  It looks like something may have been glued to the edges of the foot holes at some point, but it's long gone.

[hathorcat]

The holes in the feet do make her sound like a cake topper Baby Sugarberry. But she is also quite small for a topper.

The straw buddies were flush on one side where they could clip on so if shes completely 3D then that lets that option out.

[Baby Sugarberry]

Mine is in pretty rough shape (looks like someone played with the poor girl a ton!) but she's definitely 3D, and has heart symbols/full paint on both sides of her body, so whatever the use, it was definitely meant to be seen from all sides.  The eyes are pad printed just like a normal MLP though they kind of have a stoned look because of the small pupils.     The paint is complete with iris color (blue) and white highlights.  The plastic is hard and sort of ... tinny? if you tap on it, even more rigid than the G1 playset shells.

I noticed on a picture of one that the front 2 feet look as though they have been glued against something as they are a little discoloured on the surface in comparison to the back 2 feet. Is yours the same way Baby Sugarberry?

[Baby Sugarberry]

Yup, I have glue residue on all four feet, though most of it is on the front hooves.  Very puzzling!  They were most likely stuck on *something*, though what that something was is anyone's guess.  Maybe it was a larger cake topper part?  Like a stable or rainbow or something, and parents disassembled them so their kids could keep the pony?  A pony stuck to scenery isn't nearly as fun after all.

Or possibly a candy container.  Quality wise it doesn't look like something where the pony part was the main deal.
