Keypers ~ Discolouration (not variation)

[Angelchen]

hello ?? You can read not? or you have no eyes in his head?
The swan has completely different hair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN, I slow it goes here ..
I'm getting angry, which can not be what it so hairy on something, it's a variant, the swan has completely different hair, and is uniformly orange undzwar .. discoloration or not, the goal here is that it is a variant that the swan is different than the pink, and now again for the stupid people. pink swan - puprle pink hair.
orange swan white purple hair!
and that white hair!

by calling people stupid does not help your case.
you state sheldon in brown with no glittery eyes is uk version 1 and with gliiery eyes is uk version 2...
well having owned my sheldon from being young (20+ years) i can 100% say that what you say is grosely misinformed!
so misinformed infact that if what you say is true my original sheldon was somehow mysteriously swapped as he started off blue shell blue body and now (20+ years down the line) has turned brown. WOW i really should ask my mum about why she felt the need to do that.
You have got peoples backs up now by stating "silly people" you are wrong im sorry but you are! as for joyful being made in yellow are you mad??shes a bride where have you ever seen a yellow wedding dress?

i need to find pictures of mine from young and take pictures of them now as the colours hsave changed/faded/sundamaged with age.

rant over - dont call us stupid unless you have proof of that fact.
i hate keyboard warriors!

[Angelchen]

as we once again have a common immigrant ..
I hate that ..
but well, I play ego shooter games, I kille .. amys every night without end

and it is now not about the discoloration, you nut!
It's about the swan of a different hair color has .. understood ..

'Swan in orange serie 2 is very RAR , and its a orange swan, the swan have white and purple hair and the scarfe is silver..( the rosa swan have pink and purple hair and pink scarfe)'

What I stated was it is possible that the orange version of the swan is still a discolouration because that colour pink often changes to an orangey colour and pink doll hair can change to white - it happens quite frequently with my little ponys. Somebody else on the board has stated their childhood swan (pink with pink/purple hair) came with a silver scarf.

Discolouration can eventually become uniform, arguing against discolouration based on the unformness of colour is not a sound argument.

pink swan - purple/pink hair can become orange swan purple/white hair with ageing.

It's just strange because you wouldn't expect these variations to all coincide with the colour the plastic changes to when it's degraded.

At the end of the day, it doesn't actually matter. It's no reason to be rude. Ghost asked our opinion because she had did not agree with what you said in your site, and wanted further clarification, it is not a personal attack at you.

Now it definately seems to be a personal attack on me - possibly physical not sure if that's a translation issue? Ah well  I know mine have changed due to age xxx

Shelldon - moderate discolouration



Shelldon close up - due to a small sticker being in place for 20+ years, the original colour is evident at the bottom of the picture. The original mauve/purple is a clear contrast next to the brownish discolouration. Also note the keyhole and hinge perfectly match the original colour.



Outside and inside - again, note the original mauve/purple inside next to the discolouration on the outside.

[KrystalTips]

CLEARLY using YOUR picture as an example Sheldon's shell is only discoloured by the lock part, ie the bit that would have bleached in the sun over the years so you just proved your own theory wrong. check your facts first before you call people stupid on here its a very silly thing to do when the so called proof you have actually quashes your own theory.

has no real purpose to disskutieren around here ..
Americans and British are all the same  islandmonkey ..

think what you want ..
I had well over 160 Keyper ..
Shelldon brown has not glittery eyes
Shelldon purple has glittery eyes ..
but hey ..

I encourage myself here is no longer on my time too valuable for me

[MercurialMonster]

Here my pictures

I don't even have to have this package in my hands to tell Sheldon is discoloured.   You can clearly see that the brownish tint fades to the original purple on the off side.   

The whole discolour/variant argument is something that always drives me nuts in the collectible community.  We have someone on the pony boards who used to post her discoloured ponies claiming they were super rare variants, and argue with people ad nauseum when they tried to inform her they were not variants.  She just could not get it through her thick skull, no matter how many times people would show her evidence to the contrary.   

[KrystalTips]

its obvious the reason she has now gone and left is cuz she proved her own theory wrong! i hate biggots like that - didnt get her own way so starts throwing insults around. fool. xxx

[Ghost Of The Doll]

Well, this is not quite the way I thought this topic would go, personal insults aside. I didn't realise that the debate between discolouration vs. colour variants could get some people so riled up! None the less, with so many collectors using my forum it is the perfect place to compare toys, check colourings and confirm variations in order to dispel myths, or indeed confirm them.

Angelchen -  if you don't agree with another member's opinion please do not retort back with personal (or national) insults. It doesn't add anything to the debate and ultimately makes your argument worthless.
