On the show- Arrow was light brown(tan) in color. the toy was blue. As a fan of the show Swiftwind should be white....I never did care for the Pink SWIFTY.
He was white in the books also.
I'll go with WHITE!
Since Royal Swifty is the coolest Swift Wind ever and he's also white in the cartoon.
Unless they'll release a "toy" version She-Ra with her figure outfit, then I'ld want a pink one also!![]()

Ehh, Swiftwind is not an essential character to me but if I'm going to get him as part of my 2011 subscription I guess I would prefer him to be white. It'll make the blood stand out more when Panthor mauls him and severs his jugular.

I'd prefer the White Royal Version. It will just look better with She-Ra.

White all the way. It looks better IMO.
If the dad from 'A Christmas Story' were here he'd say - "He looks like a pink nightmare!"![]()
Why don't they just do both versions so everyone can get the color they prefer? They'd probably sell more that way too because of all the variant collectors.

I love the cartoon/prototype colors... but if he will be pink, I like this shape:
The shape and details are extremely important too, not only the colors.... in this pic you can see that he is less girly horse, even if pink
On this one, he is totally female horse, plus pink.

All of you going to SDCC better vote for a white toon accurate version!!!
BTW, why is She-Ra's mask upsidedown in that commercial?
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
I'll be voting white at the panel!
White please.
I'm assuming this was a typo, but I laughed when I read it nonetheless...
It's not so much the white color of the animated Filmation Swift Wind as the orange hair, tail, mixed with the various colors of the wings, etc... the overall color scheme of the cartoon version looks awful to me. At least the classic toy looks consistent to me, from the wings to the harness to the horse color... it all looks good together while the Filmation version kind of looks like a mess.
I'm a big fan of how the classic PoP toys look and don't really care for how Filmation sort of dumbed-down and reimagined some of the characters' designs, so I imagine I'm going to feel this way every time a new PoP figure is introduced into the MOTUC toyline. I'm always going to prefer Glimmer the '80s action figure to her sort of spandex-clad "flat" appearance in Filmation.
Well, at least I know when Mattel gets to Clawdeen, we'll be getting a giant pink lion... LOL... they can't vote their way out of that one... as she/he/it was pink in both the Filmation cartoon, the packaging, and the original toy appearance![]()

WOW...Ok...um, as ToyGuru has said MANY times, this is a collection of the entire licensing for the MOTU/POP/NA/200X World. I have faith in the 4H that they will bang out Swifty to look ridiculously amazing, no matter what color he is. They've done amazing jobs on all characters and beast so far. I mean, Battlecat is exquisite and orko is the way he's always should've been...to scale.
If it ain't white it ain't right.....boy no good way to say that lol.
But really i would take it either way and to say pink is a gay color is just silly now a days, i see guys wearing pink shirts all the time.
the ignore list is my new best friend
If by snark you meant aggressive, then yeah, I'm being agressive. To compensate for the continual decreasing levels of masculinity and coolness in MOTU.
If that flippen already highly campy looking unicorn is pink, it will officially be the first MOTUC I will not be buying.
I can get over white because Pegasus from the original Clash of the Titans was white.
Swift Wind has to look like he's part of the line and we are already pushing the boat out with She-Ra's lame glittery mask.
Whatever about the masculine, cool is not a word I would ever accociate with a winged pink unicorn. MOTU must remain cool. That what made it so popular in the first place.

Forget rappers & their record labels, Mattel is what's causing the bad blood between the East Coast & West Coast.Luckily most POP fans don't carry guns on them.
In all seriousness, I hate the way Mattel gives preference to SDCC in terms of voting on things & in terms of exclusives. I know it's not going to change since they are a California based company, but for someone who has never gone to a comic convention and lives in the Midwest, it seems unfair.
you know, white with pink highlights might work
I'd say for those that call him "Swifty" he needs to be pink. For all the rest of us, Swift Wind should be white, hehe.

I like both equally, though Filmation colors would be my preference.
