Princess "Twins" factory mashup MIB

[Ponyland]

Wonderful I saw these flutters on eBay and I was hoping to see them again

I remember PunkyKrista who was a collector of Princess variants. I bought her childhood Princess Amber, complete with accessories. She said she bought her in a cheap shop at the seaside.

Here is a picture, I added the elastic to her hat so she could wear it.

To add to your list, there are TWO MIB Princess Ambers (Gaspode had one) and I second Honeysuckle in a Cool Breeze box, she popped up on eBay after Ember1's pony

Here is Ember's flutter MIB

Thank you for the links! Oh my they are so pretty!!


It would be nice to know what year they where sold and for how long. I wonder why only Princess ponies, flutter ponies and Happy tails was kept to make these strange mashups with? And why only for sale in UK cheap stores? Who got the idea to do this in the first place? 


What these ponies have in common is that they where assembled in multiple parts in the factory (like jewel symbols, tail mechanisms and wing modules). Not just a head and a body like other ponies. Thats quite interesting!

If the these unfinished parts of ponies was keep in storage for a few years (from 1987/88) someone must have found them and decided to make a profit of them instead of throwing them away.
It's one thing to put left over mail order ponies in a bag and sell them for cheap, that sounds normal..
But to totally mashup unfinished, and left over, pony parts and sell them like a "new" pony is a strange idea!

I think the conclusion was that at the end of the MLP line (in the 1090's) they had boxes of pony "rubble" left over in the factories and so put the ponies, boxes and accessories together in order to sell them off. I assume they were sold only to cheap shops as they would be classed as end of line or even seconds since they were not "perfect".

I think you are right, they wanted to sell them on, at least at manufacturing cost rather than throw them away. There would be a demand for cheap toys so it would be a way of scraping back some cost.

I remember someone a couple years ago managed to get a hold of an MIB Bobbie.

I agree it's so cool to see these oddballs in their original packaging!

I now own the one ember had the flutter in the windy wing box. I like that it was different and I have a complete set of flutter ponies in the box. Love them.

I find it amusing that she has two brushes and a comb and yet no mane

LOL yeah!! But at least she can hide her bald spot under that damsel hat after not-combing-her-mane!

[flyawayraven]

I know it's her tail but it looks like they just tossed a hank of hair in there so you could root her yourself! :p

[wizzer218]

Awesome!!.... I want one!....lol

Slightly late to the party   but here is my oddity Honeysuckle.  She is MIB - or IB at least, as the box is far from mint.  I got her on ebay a few months ago simply listed as My Little Pony Cool Breeze MIB so the seller didn't know she was an oddball.  But another collector must have spotted her too as her price went up quite high and I was close to being outbid!  I only have one oddball princess (Princess Prawn ) and pink haired Bobbi so I was glad to get another odd G1 to keep them company.
