I think the first one looks discoloured... I have seen it happen to other pink ponies, for example, TE Galaxy.
Pinwheel was also sold as a Mail Order pony in a deeper shade.@My.Little.Ponyland donated a photo of a much deeper coloured Pinwheel MOC to my site. I don't seem to have added the information she wrote about it on my page though.visitors can't see pics , please register or login

And darker sticks...
Thanks everyone! Gizmo, that is really helpful and seems to confirm what I was suspecting? Two completely different batches. I wonder what was up in the Hasbro factory the first time around? Would I then be correct in assuming: lilac wands (prettier sounding than sticks) are probably safer to purchase and are less likely to develop age spots in the future while blue wands are much less safe to purchase and highly likely to develop age spots if they are not already rampant all over the pony? Unless of course they are on a vividly pink pony, who was then the mail order. Is she prone to age spots? Can anyone confirm?
Pinwheel 2 is a later release, Pinwheel 1 belongs to the 1985 production which also includes browning Confetti and Trickles (that Pinwheel also has dark blue sticks). I luckily have all versions of her including the mail order both sealed and out of bag.As for the MOC one Chrissytree posted, those were sold in Australia, South Africa, Germany (German text, HK), and Scandinavia as they were all on the same price list that Hasbro UK was sending out in 1986 (if they didn't show up in Denmark or Netherlands for example it was only because shops there did not order them).
I am working on similar research involving Galaxy. Test the two you're testing under black light and see if their entire bodies fluoresce differently.Galaxy does (I have one that was described as "having full body regrind" when I bought her, and one who is decidedly more towards the purple spectrum of pink than any others I've had). Baby Blossom (the one that tends to fade faster vs. the one that stays purple longer does, Fading color fluoresces light purple (the same way white does), the rest does not). As a matter of fact, my baby blossom with a mismatched head has one of each type of plastic involved.
