There is a Blue leaf Gusty listed on UK e-Bay... I think she may just be a faded purple leaf version (as I've seen the purple on Rain Curl & Scoops turn a blue color)?

That blue looks very pretty on her though the hair looks a bit faded...

What do you think?
I think it is a hoax.

well i had one too.. she didnt look faded... but yes i didnt know there was a Different version..but the lass who bought it said she would make a Nice varient for her army..

I wasnt on here when i sold her.. and she went for £3 boohoo

I think most Gusty's in Good and better condition go anywhere from $10-$30, so I'm sorry you didn't get her worth.

If anyone buys her for over $100 and finds her to be a faded version I pity them...

IS that the person that talked about her from before?? the UK seller?

ok, now I am curious = I thought the consensus was faded on that item...

oops = too old thread (but good for history sake)

hmmm... no - that one doesn't have the red, ah well I am no wiz on a search engine

Overall I guess a cool faded variant for a gusty lover, but I"d say that's just faded like how I have a white hearted snuzzle

Thanks for the old thread, I suspected that she was just faded...

I believe she is faded. Pink/red fades more easily than other colours, and when that happens in purple, it does leave blue behind.

Well, I have the purple leaf non-glitter Gusty, and I also have the blue leaf version. Her feet are marked Hong Kong. Her symbol is definitely blue, not faded. I don't remember where i got her or how long I've had her, either.

IMO that is clearly faded. I've had so many ponies who have had their eyes fade to clear blue from the original purple.
In addition to sun it can also happen with bleach.. had a Daddy Sweet Celebrations who had his purple symbol parts turn to blue when I tried to fade a stain from him.

I have asked about this at the arena before as I have a Gusty with blue symbols and I don't believe them to be faded, they are even on both sides and most definitely blue x

I am afraid I am going to join the "its faded" side of the argument...

Maybe its just that we are terming it wrong..its not necessarily a fade caused by the sun it could just be a leaching of colour - which happens with certain colours dyed into or on plastic over time. It could simply be that the red pigment within the dye has leached out of symbol and into the plastic surrounding it...that's why the "fade" will be equal on both sides. There were so many Gusty's produced that there will have been plenty of batches of dye used over the years...some may be a little more prone to this than others.

I think hathorcat is right. We are used to the term "faded" meaning what happens when a color is exposed to sun, so we think it should be uneven. But fading can happen all sorts of ways. So just because something is an even color doesn't mean it's not faded.

Isn't it just possible that there are some Gusty's symbols were in fact painted blue? Just as Scandinavian Gusty has green eyes instead of blue?

Of course it's possible but I think then there would be more Gustys with blue symbol out there. I go with fading, too

In Finnish MLP-site is saying that Gusty with blue, non-glitter symbols is called "non so soft Gusty" and with green eyes and glitter symbols she is called "Scandinavian Gusty"...? (scroll a little bit down the page)

In this page is a MOC picture of Gusty with blue non-glitter symbols. I'm little bit confused, because have always believed that she's variation...

The MOC Movie Stars Gusty pictured on Taffetas site just has regular purple coloured symbols not blue...
