Foot stamps on Greek ponies

[Tzan19]

So my Greek butterscotch came today (the one I overpaid for ).  And I noticed that you can still see half a Hong (as in half of the word) from the wiped out Hong Kong symbol.  I have read about this so didn't think much of it other than I thought it was kind of cool. 

Then having never really paid much attention to the feet of the rest of my Greek herd other than they are blank I got curious and went to see what the rest looked like...only to find that my Greek  lemondrop has two stamps, Hong Kong and hasbro pat pending 82.

I know I am a newbie and it's likely now for everyone to think I have the head of a Greek on the body of a normal lemondrop (head is certainly Greek, has the haircut and the brown eyes).  But the head and body match, the tail is the same as my other Greeks, her body has the same looks like she has had a suntan look about it, plastic same squishyness as head, symbols  have the Greek bleeding look, even as a newbie I don't have any doubt that she is all Greek.

 I am thinking somehow she missed getting her stamps covered altogether?  I just wondered if anyone else has come across this?
Either way she is not of any value as she is very baity ( on a side note I am one baity Greek blossom away from a complete and beloved baity Greek cp set lol), I am just curious

Do you have a picture of her?

I have a couple of Greeks and they all have badly covered up hoof marks. The the way the hoof marks are covered up looks a bit different on each of my ponies.

Ok but she is feeling embarrassed to be photographed now that she is so old and baity so please don't judge her it's not her fault 

Here's her stamps

She's so cute I think she was very well loved

I had a search as I was certain I had seen another Greek with the same marks and I was right!

Ember1 had a Greek Butterscotch who had HK hoof marks as well. Looks like your pony was made from the same mould

Ahhhh that's great thanks.  She still is very well loved cos I love her and now I love her even more for her bizarre oddity  I am glad she is still Greek

[Tzan19]

Ahh yes butterscotch...for the dreaded PC *closes eyes and holds breath*

I have decided that she was worth it to me as I have somehow found myself in the odd position of trying to find ponies in a suitable condition to fit in with my existing collection.  The ponies in my Greek collection have been so loved that I now have to be careful not to add ponies that are too minty as they would just look silly (and put the others to shame  ). 

See photo example with Mohawk bow tie and cotton candy(bow tie was also missing a tail), half a mane bluebelle, poor minty-oh my word - she has black marks, painted hair and only half of one eye. All have marks, hair cuts and symbol issues.  Bless them.

I have debated with myself so many times as to whether I should rehair or touch up minty' eyes and symbols or just leave them all be.

I have looked and looked and looked again at luna_scythe's blossom, it's driving me crazy    I think she is a good price, my only problem is that I am uk based so by the time I have added on shipping, customs charges and handling it bumps the price up a fair bit....and silly as it sounds I'm not sure she is baity enough.  I think at some point I will look at getting upgrades, but for now I feel like I saved the poor unloved ponies and gave them a home

 It also occurred to me that I have two peachy's so I don't know if it might be worth looking to do some sort of trade involving a poor condition peachy for a poor condition blossom...watch this space for wtb baity Greek blossom!

the color is gorgeous. and honestly, if it's worth it to you, its worth it.
a lovely addition to your collection. can't wait to see blossom added to the ranks.

Yep, some of the Greek adults do still have some poorly covered hoof markings on them! It happens from time to time on other ponies as well, for example some Colombians occasionally have Italy marked.

She doesn't look too bad! Her symbols often bleed anyway.

[pinkkittywinks]

Butterscotch is a sweetie her hair looks fine, not cut at all. It's nice to see her symbols are still viable too, rather than just orange blobs

Your Greek herd is lovely, you should be proud of them all

I have a Sunlight, which I pulled him from the box and this blurred hasbro brand, but it shows that it's there.
