That makes me feel a lot better, thank you Galactica! They must have put a special coating over the glitter to seal it. I was afraid from Honeycomb's description that is was just like the blind bags, slapped on with some glue.
Thank you Thimble for my amazingly cute avatar!

I have the Pinkie proto with regular balloons. Her glitter is on the outside but when handled it hasn't come off on me or my son.

I'll admit it does seem cheaper but maybe they are trying to avoid the issues that the G3 glitter ponies have with break down and glitter loss (?) just a thought.
Maybe this is their way of fixing the sticky feeling and mysterious glitter loss.

Mysterious glitter loss??????
Yea, they would get all sticky, and as the plastic broke down, the glitter would somehow be lost. I've came across a few near glitterless G3s before.

No one really knows for sure...mysterious :lol:

I keep a good eye on my G3 glitters but I've seen pics of Glitterbelle still MIB and she's a weird pink colour (instead of purple) with no glitter!!!

Soooo I was wondering if this is Hasbro's way to avoid that...or am I giving them too much credit and they are actually just cheap hahaha XD I guess we won't really know

Oh!!  I didn't realize that was the source of the glitter-less G3 ponies!  I knew they had a problem with seepage, but didn't realize that the glitter actually broke down! How odd!

Do G1 glitters have a problem with seepage?  I know they have terrible problems with yellowing and discoloration- but that probably could be prevented with careful storage- maybe...

I'm guessing the translucent/shimmery ponies (like fluttershy & Rarity) got cancelled in favor of the glitter-on-the-outside look because of some issue like the plastic was too fragile or unstable or something.

As far as I know the G1's don't have the same problems as the G3 glitters

Dissolves lol...just a general plastic break down issue and the chemicals probably eat or break down the glitter itself. Oh these ponies...

It's the ponies' digestive systems at work.

If this isn't too horribly off topic: I just got the new transluscent Funko Dash with glitter in her body. Would that type of hard material have the same problem of glitter breaking down, or is that just a normal-pony-plastic thing?
