I wonder if I've ever seen a Twist or Skyflier with the pink streak. I've always believed it was supposed to be white, and I'm pretty good with my fading pink hair knowledge. Mind officially blown.I think all the official art material I know of also shows Skyflier with a white streak. I think they are MEANT to have white in terms of design, but I definitely have had them with pink. Now whether that is because the red ran into the pink or what I am unsure, but it seems weird that both my MOC Twist and my MOC Skyflier have it. BUT it is really hard to prove it via photographs, so nobody really believes me xD.Hmmm that's super weird. They do have pretty similarly colored hair, I wonder if being MOC did cause them to bleed since the hair's been in contact barely moving for decades? I didn't have Twist as a kid, but I've definitely had her at points and the last one I had did have a pink streak, which confused me, I just don't have decades of comparison to make. I did have Skyflier as a kid, my cousin got her the year she came out, just basically kept her in the attic and then gave her to me. I still have her and her baby Cotton Candy, but between that one and the one my neighbor had, I always recall that being white. And the last Skyflier I bought I took apart to make a custom (like a week ago), and it was white inside. But now I kinda want to get another and pink up that streak.But then again, Hasbro.

Holy crap, guys, that is so, so weird. I think it might be an optical illusion about it being white because of her hair and coat color. Because I just pulled out my "good" Skyflier, and peered closely, and she looks white. Compared it to her eyeballs, still pretty white. Separated her hair so it isn't laying on the red, still looks white. UNTIL I put her between brand new hair that matches that "fading pink" color, and Twilight's tail, and mine is definitely faded, but decidedly pink. Even putting BRAND NEW pink hair over top that color, it "looks" more white than pink, that bright color completely overpowers it. It looks like white just picking up reflections of the hair and body depending on the context. It is the blue/black or yellow/gold dress all over again.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginEdit, so I took this outside because my indoor lighting was definitely skewing the color perception, it's far warmer. Comparison pics under spoiler.SpoilerOk, so, my comparisons. With my Skyflier who needs a bath, and has a relatively thin streak.Left to right, Dollyhair Virgin Snow, g1 Sunlight, Dollyhair Pussycat, and g3 flutter Honeysuckle flattened so you can see they're the exact same color when flattened.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginIt is weird because even looking through my phone's screen her hair is decidedly pinker than with my naked eyes...not just in pics, even just looking while taking a pic.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginHere's the comparison across the spectrum.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginbunched up and thickened though, it's clear.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginBut the ultimate test of that has me convinced that it is fading pink? It FLUORESCES exactly like the "fading pink" color, and the white hair from the same era does not whatsoever. Case closed right there as far as I am concerned.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI wish I would have checked the other Skyflier so we can see if it's just a case of "some ponies used up some stock of some hair", or all of them have pink.Ok, final edit, this is making me insane.It fluoresces the same when the black light is at a distance, and the white appears not to. But when you get close...SpoilerWith the brand new hair:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginWithout:visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I wonder if what Taffeta brought up as batch differences is a possibility? Some were made with a fading pink streak, and some were made with a white streak (when one or the other ran out)?I really want to get my hands on my Skyflier counting book now -- I could have sworn the artist drew her with a white streak, but now I'm not sure. (I'm not at home right now or I would look.)

I think I want Rainbow Wishes now. She's got great colors, and a unique electronic symbol. I love carnivals. Is she hard to get hold of?
