Thank you
No, her symbols aren't glittery. I haven't heard of a Paradise with glittery symbols before, either. It's possible I suppose that if someone deflocked her, someone glittered her symbols...
The thing is that even the movie set we had here in the UK without flocking did not have glittery symbols. They all had painted ones, even Buttons whose symbol is different from the So Soft. Paradise advertised with the estate (as a prototype) would have been from the same year, and it's doubtful that they would have glittered her symbols when they had pretty much stopped doing that by 1987. The booklet the prototype image comes from is a Hasbro UK one but I don't have it, only scans Prance sent me, and they're not clear enough to see whether for some reason the symbols are glittered in that picture.
Paradise the SS, though, did come out in 85 or 86 I think? I don't know...probability of an early prototype with glittered symbols for a pony that never happened vs a deflock who had been glittered? If the seller said it was a deflock it probably was one though, because why would you advertise it as a deflock if it wasn't one? If it was a Brazilian one or other country one, anyhow, it states it under the hooves...the seller would have known.
