odd SS Heart Throb

[FullMoonFever]

Ok, so I just received two ponies today, one is SS Heart Throb the other is the Sweet Celebrations sister.

Heart Throb is.. different.  She doesn't have wings with her hearts.  She's in excellent shape, but no wings!  I'll get a pic up soon.

Has anyone else gotten a SS Heart Throb without wings by the hearts?  As far as I can tell she's not been deflocked, I'm guessing factory error.

All SS Heart Throbs don't have wings on their hearts, I'm pretty sure.

Admittedly, it's a pretty strange design choice

I have a prototype Heart Throb with winged hearts (thread about her here), but yeah, "normal" SS Heart Throb doesn't have them.

Personally I think it was an odd choice on Hasbro's part because it makes her hearts look too far apart or too small.   

Anyway, this is what she would have looked like with winged hearts:

yeah she looks much better with the wings than just plain hearts.

The weirdest part about this is that in all the animation, I'm pretty sure she has winged hearts...

You'd think they'd have kept the original symbol and made it bolder for the flocking.

No accounting for Hasbro...the same thing is seen with the BBE baby symbol too.

I like the fact she is released this way Because this way the SS version has a Baby with wingless hearts and the regular version has a Baby with winged hearts. Makes for a happy pony display for me.

But what about poor regular baby with no winged hearts? Surely she's confused about who should be her mother? .

I'll bet there was a prototype BBE Baby Heart Throb with winged hearts.  She has winged hearts on the backcard, and those were drawn using real pony "models", I'm sure.  (Especially the early backcards where the ponies are in their actual poses.)
