Anybody Seen This Girl on Ebay?

[LunaDehligt]

never seen her before but she is really cute

Oh, this lovely girl!  She is one of the rarer and lesser known Franken-ponies, lol.

I have 3 variants of her, but have never seen anyone that actually has her before. When I bought mine on Taobao a year or 2 ago I could only find one of each of them, so I doubt there are very many around.

Also, I don't think she is the indicator of a new product/pegasus because she has been around for ages.

I would love to know why they made her head, though.

Just stopping by to confirm that she is, indeed, a round-eyed Pinkie Pie and not the frankenpony shown. Darn you misleading ebay images! Luckily my SO wants a Pinkie so the problem solved itself in the form of an impromptu gift.

oh thats so bad, shame on them, hope you told them so they will correct it and a whole lot of us don't buy her thinking we will get franken pony,
sorry to hear that.

I've been planning to, but I'm also wringing my hands over how to go about messaging them since I'm not very bright when it comes to ebay. I'm not gonna lie, it seems a bit silly for me to be raising concern about the type of eyes on one of their ponies, like I'm overreacting or something, but you're right that a lot of people could be mislead by this and the item is being misrepresented. It doesn't help that there's a language barrier between me and the seller.   I'll just have to compose the most coherent explanation I can asking them to get a new picture tomorrow and hope they don't want me to send the pony back or something.
Oh ebay, you are a cruel mistress to socially backwards people like me.

yeah i had this problem too with another seller ages ago and i was buying of them a bit and then they had the new gold tinsel haired AJ and i got the clear rainbow tinsel haired and they wanted me to return it with a tracking number and from nz it would be about $30 to send it. but i have found other seller from ch to be amazing in refunds and correcting things.  you could always get them to correct it or report them to ebay for misleading.

You would be best to start a Trader Support thread to get some advice

But just quickly, why would you say she was misrepresented on ebay? Did the seller advertise and describe her as some kind of "frankenpony"?

[Unicorn_pops]

I received mine to and it was a regular Pinkie. I PM'd them and sent a photo to show she was different then what they had listed.

Cat~ There was a drop down box to pick the pony you wanted.

But Seller apologized and is supposedly resending the correct one now so we'll see. They stated they didn't know there was a big difference between the two.

[hathorcat]

Ah I am with you now Unicorn_Pop - that is a nuisance! Part of the joy of buying from non collectors I guess

[shabbychicdee]

would love to know how you guys get on, good luck.

Well, I worked up the guts to message the seller the other day. Here's hoping I'm doing it right. If you want to follow along you can find the TS thread here: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,336954.new.html

hey guys, everyone that received a round eyed pinkie from these guys, have you checked them all over, i had forgotten some time ago i ordered one of them pinkies (cos things can take two months to get here) she arrived and i studied it and it has a different tail for a normal pinkie pie, it has a really dark pink, at first i thought it was black ties tail but was slightly of and just discovered it has diamond rose's hair colour in her tail, dark pink with that fluro pink part.
 not quite an exciting prototype but an interesting find

[Unicorn_pops]

Well I did indeed get the correct one this time and yep she does have a darker shade of pink in her. Seller will make it right, just message them.

oh yay good to hear, so glad
