Title: Prototypes you wish to have/wish they were released
Post by: Queen Sophie on March 15, 2020, 12:49:54 PM
The title says it all

Original post: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,392798.0.html (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,392798.0.html)
(Did not know this was already done, wanted to give credit to the original, sorry!)

I really wish they released the blue Sprinkles, I really like the blue shades on her! That I’m thinking of commissioning someone to make a a custom of her.

I also wish to have Sundance in the collectors pose

And first tooth Baby Sundance

Oh, the things I'd do to get my hands on the dolls that were meant to go with the Pony Friends.... Especially Kingsley's pal, Kendall. So cute. I'd love to get customs of them made sometime.

Also the NBBE babies. Like Baby Truly! :) And babies Schoolbag, Gametime and Sugarcake in the baby brother mold (I do love Gametime/Sugarcake as girls, probably moreso than the male protos if I'm honest, but... boy ponies!!!)

(hey, that's a point, are Gametime and Sugarcake meant to be girls? I mean, Schoolbag's in a "girl" mold and he's still a boy. Hmmm...)

OH and Diva Pose Toola-Roola. (Original Toola, not the core 7 version) The Toola of my dreams! I collect Divas, so I really wish they'd put Diva Toola into production :(

edit: I keep thinking of more things XD I just remembered the Furbob protos. I wish they'd been made, they're adorable. Even cuter than the Bushwoolie toys, IMO.

And if we can count protos that made it out of the factory.... oh, how I'd love a G4 proto Minty... *w* and Sweetie Blue should've been put into proper production.

And I like Shining Armour's final design, but the prototype for him was adorable, too. I wish we could've had him as a separate character.

Agree--non-beddy-bye eye versions of all the babies that had them. I know some were made, I saw a Baby Ribbon for sale recently, but they seem to be very hard to find, and expensive.

Oh, also maybe versions of twinkle-eyed ponies without the twinkle eyes. I love the colors of a lot of the TE ponies, but just not a fan of those eyes.

The prototype baby boys Gametime and Sugarcake! They would have been super cute <3 I'm thinking of doing a custom of baby boy Sugarcake because I love his colors!

Also the blue Tuneful and the Fancy Swirl/Celestial ponies of course!

Baby Sundance and Truly would be awesome.  As well as pegasus Dance and Prance.

Those checkered ponies. And the Flutter Hideaway. I sometimes think of getting a very large bird house and making one myself. :lovey:

Also my version.
Gametime & Sugarcake were promoted as baby Boys but instead the actual Ponies were girls. Also the girls had a single streak like the unicorns, rather than the stripes I gave these Boys. I wanted them as Boys enough to make Customs of them.

For me, my number one is Paradise. The one we should have had with the Estate but never got for some reason.

Then Baby Shady in Baby Tiddly Winks' pose.

There are some cooler later ponies in the Euro line as well. The pegasus with the gingerbread  men, Good Weather in the other pose with the more aqua hair...



 I don't believe in CP Sundance, but that's a whole other discussion.

I didn’t realize the Sweet Delights Cottage/snow cone maker wasn’t made until I was an adult. I wonder why it was never produced but featured in at least one pamphlet?

I'd love it if they'd made that NBBE / First Tooth Baby Sundance in Baby Tic Tac Toe's pose.  She's so pretty.  I'm, uh, not a fan of the blue eyeshadow on the BBE one.

G1: Blue Sprinkles for sure. She was SO pretty.
      Celestial ponies

G3: Clear/white sparkle pony Glitterbelle

G4: Pearly unicorn baby bridesmaids

Aww...now I'm sad.  :cry:

The prototypes of the Dream Beauties (series 1 & 2) The first series had such nice colours and designs in the prototypes, then with series two they were so interesting, super duper unfortunate they didn't make it into production.

Was there supposed to be a dive pose Toola Roola? If so is there pics?

I don’t know much about the prototypes, but I personally would love to have a prototype takara pony. Takara themselves are pretty rare, but a prototype...that would be one of (if not the) wildest pony dream come true. I would also like a prototype of the birthday pony. She looks great as is, but that yellow just makes her look a bit more festive.

There was a prototype Sundance in the collectors pose, but it doesn’t look like she ever made it to full production. You can find it on the wiki under their prototype section.

Prototype adult Takaras were sold in September 2018 (without eyes but apart from that they looked like the original ones).

well yeah, that's why I mentioned her XD I'll have to see if I can find the pic... aha, here we go.

Not sure where the image originates from. I'm pretty sure I saved it from one of the old prototype threads on here.

also I found this while looking through my files for for that pic:

green mane Minty! :D I know there are other early G3 pics showing her like this, but I don't think I have any of them saved.

CP Sundance? :what:

We've never proven a paper trail that firmly authenticates either pony or story. I'm not ruling out that one could exist, just that I need more robust evidence. Right now it's still hearsay.

I'll explain in a spoiler so as not to derail the thread.
Spoiler
You have to realise that in the late 1990s an easy tactic to make someone believe in a variation (like white haired Posey) was to call it a UK version (including on DV). It made people hyper-suspicious when a story links a pony to the UK without due diligence being done to verify it.

The biggest problem with Sundance is the provenance that she came from a ponymeet in the UK. Unfortunately at the time the seller claimed she was found here at an advertised MLP meets, MLP meets did not happen. Not till at least 5 years later.

Number two is the manufacture. She's made in HK. All Sundances in the UK are NC. It feels more likely the UK was chosen because Europe had the CP AJ and Bow Tie, but they were here a whole year before and didn't revert back ton the US pose afterwards. We had the same pose as the US, but not made in HK. It's awkward to see how she would have fitted into our production.

Three, the one photo that emerged that MAY show a Sundance CP in a Hasbro picture has different hair and a differently placed symbol to the one on the Wiki, which must have had a different provenance.

If the story had been that she came from the US and originated around RI I'd be more prepared to believe it. But I want a lot more concrete evidence first. I've really tried very hard to authenticate this pony, but there's nothing in the UK material that even hints of her existence to date, so right now, I don't believe in her.

I'm open to being proven wrong, though. Just with proof. Not hearsay.


On the Toola pic, I do love how her box says Kimono.

I like the colors they went with better. As he reminds me of Denim Blue, but I sure wish he'd gotten normal hair like that one instead of his stupid troll doll hair.

Shining Armour with proper (not buzz cut style either) hair would be great. I'm guessing the troll hair makes it harder to reroot one though (even if I had hair, which I don't - not in blue anyway).

I like both designs for Shining Armour :B the proto kinda reminds me of Knight Shade from the G1 cartoon.

IIRC it's possible to rehair him, it's just a pain in the butt. I'll never know why they went with troll hair for him -_- And for that matter, what's with Hasbro's obsession with giving all the G4 boys mohawks?

I wish all G1 prototypes and g4 protos had been made.
I kinda find it weird that they went about doing G4 Minty the way they did... The prototype Minty looks good  as she is, so I dont get why they would atleast put the black circles on her cutiemark, I mean, its odd itself that they chose black as it kind of cuts hard into the color scheme, why not a darker pink?

Apparently there is a prototype Glow and Show Sunspot with circle and square bits inside. Makes me wonder if there was going to be a second wave of them. I'd have loved for a second set of them to exist.

While technically not MLP I remember that there were scans of a Hasbro catalog that had a really interesting new line of horses that had things inside them. I forgot what they were called but I really wish they went into production.
