Has anyone else seen the pink striped version of Nova?
Wait, what? I had to Google and then had to Google to remind myself which one Nova is. The pink is the same as the artwork, right?I saw her on Instagram..! there are variants..!
I have alooot of pony stuff on Facebook XDWait, what? I had to Google and then had to Google to remind myself which one Nova is. The pink is the same as the artwork, right?
I must see these variants this is news to me
Oh! I like the pink stripes do the others have variants too?
I prefer this one so much over the normal one. Now I know what I felt Nova was originally lacking that wasn’t tinsel. Feels much more art accurate
I used to have this very backpack, it was great! I got it about seven years ago. I regret to say that after a few years the cat peed on it and it was unsalvagable.Just saw this on a FB forum. Hadn’t seen it before.

Those are very early placeholder pics that were posted on the Amazon Celestial listings before they went live, or were even properly listed. (Like, you had to really trawl through the "not in stock" listings to find them.) By the time the listings went live, they had pics of the BF Celestial ponies. So it's not someone's attempt at a scam, it's just an old post (of mine, ha ha) from before the pictures were changed.Okay, so wait, there's an official pink swirl version being made? I only just heard about this, my first reaction was.... well! I went out and found someone claiming to be selling the pink versions and I immediately thought "This is a scam!" Well, even more so because I found an ad for them and it was using the photo from an old custom I know about!
These, in particular!

We're saying the pink swirl version is legit?
Still though, THIS doesn't look legit! The photos are straight ripped from the above, so please be careful everyone.
Also gonna add, I have Nova with the white stripe and I actually prefer it. I wanted to grab a duplicate later so I could have a loose and in-box version, so this is actually kinda.... uh, not entirely good news for me. No idea how long before I could get a dupe, so I may just not get a white-stripe loose Nova. ;u;
That is strange and sketchy that they would have used some random deviantart user's photos as placeholder photos on any life listing, whether you had to dig for it or not, but wow. I mean companies have done dumber things, too. But well, I'll take that as good news, and I guess be glad I can share the originals of those images.Those are very early placeholder pics that were posted on the Amazon Celestial listings before they went live, or were even properly listed.

Oh incidentally the reason Polaris is more expensive right now is that Amazon is out of stock, so they defaulted to the cheapest third party seller, who unfortunately isn't that cheap. Last I checked they were being sold by some company called Flux Shuffle. On Walmart she is being sold by ToyWiz. It's very annoying because those companies probably bought her FROM Amazon / Walmart, then turned around and listed her for a higher price. I hate scalpers.
Will White Stripe Nova become known something as “First Issue Nova” or “First Edition Nova” or something like that do we think? Maybe “Nova Wave 1”Heads up! Hang on to your WHITE swirl ponies, because THEY may be the variant!
