loginthere's hoof stamp, there's air-brush vs stamp eyes... so I am still trying to figure out who is proper as a variation and who is faded - maybe someone else here knows
these three do not have pat. pending - so must be a later production run of stamp eyes (?)

and this is my yellow girl = what the heck? she's supposed to be just a regular stamp-eye italian? Is this just fading? Plastic looks different

loginthe red-head she is with I got in a lot and I think she's just had her hair dyed to match magenta italians but I never got a good answer from the italian seller, so best just to be safe than assume nirvana OOAK. Still, as you can see the italian manufacturing process seems to leave a lot to be desired in regards to quality control and I would be intrigued to know if they did a dye bath on cotton candy after her molding, as the way that pink fades is just funky/blotchy on some of the ponies...
so yeah, technically, these two are the "same" stamp-eye cotton candy
