Posted for sale in a Facebook group I belong to - seller isn't very familiar with MLP so I could not get much information from her. Tan body (evenly all the way through - head and body are same shade - head still glued on), pink hair, purple eyes, Hong Kong stamped. I'm thinking this is the standard issue Cotton Candy that somehow got discolored? What do you think?

She looks discolored to me. I know some CCs that got that discolored because of smoke or storage conditions. Is her plasticizer leaking? If it was, bad storage conditions would be more likely.

I hadn't even thought about smoke or storage conditions. She didn't mention anything about the surface texture (but I didn't ask either) so I'm not sure about the plasticizer.

Thank you for your reply.
 
I have seen Cotton Candy ponies that were like this- sun exposure and the hot/cold exposure from storage in attics or barns can do this to them (there are probably other factors as well). It didn’t make them “sticky” though, from the ones I saw. Hydrogen peroxide 40% crème with UV light treatments after a spa day may help, but color will probably stay more “brown.”
 
I have a Blossom that's faded and looks tan rather than purple. I assume its from the conditions she was kept in.

I kinda like the faded look even though it's not the natural color. Makes them a whole different pony to me
 
Smoke or bad sun damage… blossom tends to turn grey then brown as she ages. CC goes brown then tan. Note: This is just my personal experience and I am not an expert, just a person who loves ponies.
