She might well have a slightly different colour body, as it was part of a different run

Hex is a Happy Tail variant rather than a Princess one... she's a Squeezer with no mechanism/symbol. And sometimes different hair.

Thanks for the info LG! ah those wacky (in a good way, we know) Brits...

or, as I've been reading about second-shops that these variants were originally sold in = are these UK variants then similar to the quality control problems of today's G4's? (trots off to check on Ms. Bobby)

Are all the UK'ers made in China? Seems the German princesses are too... man, it seems at first blush some things don't change through the decades

It doesn't seem that the etherella "my little pony scrapbook" has working links anymore = so thanks for the repeat answers here !

Anybody know if there's a plan to get more on the wiki site about all this pony history ??

I don't think it was second hand shops they were sold in, but cheapie shops, like poundshops (new goods, but very cheap), The theory we work on is that Hasbro UK bought up all the leftover odds and ends of a production run, and had them put together as best was possible. They really are the strangest assortment!

Yes, I think the UK oddballs are all China ponies, but pkw would know for sure

Taff's still in the process of getting the site moved over, so there are a few things missing still
