G3 prototypes/ odd balls/ test ponies

[nhal039]

Just wondering how many types of these out there (the head/ body/ tails switched around ones i dont really count, nor those with just missing symbols as i think these are to easily forged although i dont deny some where authunitic).

I can only think of the 3
Ribbon and hearts
Aqua haired comic con 2010
Maroon striped hair instead of black hair comic con 2011

Is there others?

There are some dark orange blank ponies floating around somewhere! They are pretty nifty looking! There's also a a pearly white pony with stars as her cutie mark. I think she was a test for the Devine n shine ponies.

Oh yes thats right i forgot all about her, stormy had then sold her to ember. She is such a neat pony i wish she was released.
A few of the blanks where in nz by a collector i remember the orange and purple and there was another colour, pink maybe? Oh its all coming back to me thanks.

Would love to hear of others

I've got some blanks, as well as some symbolless ponies who I deboxed myself, so I can confirm their authenticity (I have pictures of them before and after deboxing as well).

I also remember someone selling some g3s on eBay with missing symbols, eyes and hoof hearts, as well as slightly different hair from the official release and the packaging plastic in their hair. I didn't buy any - sadly, I was on a tight budget but I would've loved them 8( - so I can't confirm, but they looked authentic to me.

The pearlized G3 in someones signature is a prototype I think?

I have this girl. Her eyes and hoof heart both seem to be hand painted. She was sold to me as a "G3 prototype", but she could also be an amazing fakie.

Yeah! I've never seen her anywhere else outside the signature. Anyone know what became of her?

Also, Stormy was selling a Morning Monarch with a flipped symbol a while back. I guess she must have sold, but I haven't heard anything about her either.

I like that pose, she seems so happy and proud leaning back like that, as if she was showing something off (that hoof symbol maybe?)
I am absolutely no G3 expert, but I have seen several fakies in this exact pose, without any symbols - while the pose and the size seemed to be accurate, and even the "construction" was nicely done, the weight of those ponies definitely differed compared to a regular G3 (they were much lighter, and their body much more... how to say... flexible, compared to a usually rather hard G3 body), and the hair was also very different (very stiff and straight, not falling nicely, but sticking up). how do your pony's features compare to a regular G3?

Her plastic seems very similar to a regular G3, but her hair doesn't seem as nice. It has a prema-frizz to it. I'd be completely cool with her being a fakie, but no one ever seems to be like, "Hey I have one of those too!" lol. She is a odd mystery pony. At least to me. Hahahahaha

Oh! And these too: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,373192.msg1459709.html#msg1459709

One of them is a blank Puzzlemint, and as far as I know the others were never produced at all.

The 3 I had were the Pearly one in my sig (she was sold to a member here), then there was a clear glitter version of the purple one (her name escapes me, she was sold to Ember1) and then the morning monarch with the reversed symbol.

I have this girl that I got off of eBay years ago from someone who's significant other worked for Hasbro or something like that lol.
