[Lady Starflower]

I like your kitty

Hey, what's the deal with glittery Wysteria??  Is she something we might see in the future? 
Sorry to derail the thread, I'm just so behind in the news lately:(

I still like Minty A better :/ she captures more of her G3 mother's looks. But since I have a Minty B on the way its like "Oh well, as long as I have a Minty!"  I'm good!

I like A best, but I also like B.  I wonder why they decided to do away with the white stripe in her hair. 

I also wonder if she is getting a release or if her slowing numbers is a sign of it being a test. She's showing up nightly on taobao but it seems like only in very small numbers.  Seems like it is slowing down too.

A couple pages back someone here who's on good terms (maybe even part of the administrative segment) of the MLP Fair said "glitters are coming" which makes it sound like Wysteria may be a fair pony. Unsure if she'll be a SDCC pony too like last year, because while it is cheaper to sell one pony at both events, Wysteria doesn't really feel like she'd make sense as a SDCC exclusive.

Also, got Minty B two days ago. She's super adorable. I think Minty has..."it". I can't quite explain what it is, but she's got that something special only a few ponies have.

In addition to Lyra comparison, I decided to put her next to Snowcatcher too because well, she's the bluest-green pony I know.

Thumbnailed due to size. Minty also has a small yellow spot on her head that will not come off. I think it's a bleach stain. I just pretend Minty is Hindu and tried to do a bindi the best she could without thumbs:p

Pretty green there.

Bonus kind of blurry because it's hard to take an image on a patio six inches off the ground patio in 94 degree weather with an iPad of Minty in front of some mint plants that grow in my backyard:

Gah do I love taking pictures of Minty. She's probably gonna photobomb some Facebook pictures too.

Ahhh, I see.  Thank you for clarifying that for me.  So I've seen her floating around both on the Arena and eBay, so is she like super sought-after right now? 

My Minty B is still en route, but I can wait.  I've been dying for on since the first Taobao appearance.  Green is one of my most favorite colors and I just have a soft spot for Minty to begin with:)

Love that picture of Minty with the mint plants...she's so photogenic lol

[Carrehz]

Lovely photos, everyone! Minty looks super cute next to Twirly Treats

Hrrrrm. Given that the black-outlined version is the same color as Lyra, I almost wonder if she's the prototype? Is that possible at all?

[BlueyBirdy]

More £30/$45 Buy It Now Minty B are on eBay right now.

[Lady Starflower]

There's also a bunch of auctions starting at $20 with no bids yet

Sooo.....what if Hasbro substituted Lyra in the Fan Favs box for Minty?

1) We have seen all the Fan Favs ponies on Taobao now...except for the new Lyra who is also supposed to be in this set
2) Similar ish palette colours
3) No stamp on Minty's foot means she should in theory be part of a set

Oh and please take this wild speculation as exactly that - speculation and probably completely and utterly wrong.

[Marigold]

That's an interesting theory.  We haven't seen the new Lyra and we have seen the others from the box set.  No one missing?

Even though I bought her for $50 already that would still be completely awesome!!! I was kinda wondering that too since Lyra has yet to be seen and with Lyra and Lyrica in that set that would be 2 ponies with the exact same symbol. Maybe it's a nod to us collectors by putting Minty in Lyra's place.

Well we haven't seen Cadance or Shining Armor yet....

[HawaiianRain]

Have we seen a confirmed SA with the blue painted hooves?
