The marketing photo first used was from a sample sculpture likely not entered for production. This photo shows a very different design on the bow in her hair, a light colored blouse and darker shoes. The apple, here held in her left hand, has greater detail with a stem and leaves. These changes were likely made to simplify the molds used and to speed the assembly process.
Produced in color only
Color $135 $195 in 1975
No other design variations have been noted in Pollyanna's five year run. Only slight color variations have been found in which various parts of the sculpture are darker or more vivid in color as shown in the examples below.
This piece is periodically found with her hands not positioned as well as the examples shown here. Often her arms and hand position changed slightly during the firing process and may appear awkward in how she holds the apple. This is not always noticeable until comparing items. Some sculptures have been offered on the secondary market with either the apple missing or having been broken off and reattached.

Early marketing photos in color and black and white show Little Red Riding Hood as a brunette. The cape's strings and tassels are in red but were changed to match the trim of her cape either prior to production or shortly after her introduction.
Produced in color only
Color $75 $110 in 1975
Production copies are found with blonde hair. Gone is the red used to color the strings and tassels of the cape. No design variations and no other color variations are known to exist.
No pictures were published of the brunette showing the back of her cape. While the design would likely be the same, it isn't known if the prototype had the hood's tassel painted red or if it was also cape colored like the production piece.
