Release Info

From the Glimmer Wings Series
This series has ponies with over-the-top, large butterfly-like wings, resemblant of Rarity's wings in the FiM season one episode "Sonic Rainboom".
- I've seen it claimed that the Glimmer Wings toys were designed before the episode, and that the episode itself was made in order to tie-in with the toys. Not sure there is any real proof of either claim, though.
Fluttershy was sold in a single pack, released under the late S2 "Wedding" marketing gimmick
There was also a non-Glimmer wings Fluttershy sold in this series as a "bonus pony" for Glimmer Wings Sweet Song (very G3 of them)

Accessories

Each pony in this series comes with a little accessory pet - Fluttershy's is a dragonfly.

Features/About

The wings move - Unclear how this mechanism works. Presumably its electronic, like the moving wings of the Talking Princess dolls?
She has the raised hoof pose, uncommon for Classic G4 Brushables, making her more "special" in regards to collecting
The wings are attached to the body with a separate piece of plastic, which admittedly does look a bit garish...
