Concerned Pony met a prototype! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Although I don't know why they would make them all earth ponies if they were normal ponies. They don't look like Sweetheart Sisters . . .

They don't look like Sweetheart Sisters . . .That's a good point! They look to be from before Hasbro phased out unicorns/pegasi completely. When the gimmicky sets didn't have a unicorn and/or pegasus there was usually a reason for it (ie the gimmick made horns/wings inconvenient or they were in some specialized mold)Maybe since they have antennas on top of their heads, also adding a horn to one of them might've been seen as redundant. The lack of pegasi could be because the swirly pattern they were to have all over their bodies wouldn't have worked with, or didn't look good on wings. The existence of the pegasus prototype kind of speaks against this, but maybe that was just a designer grabbing whatever mold they had on hand to get an idea of how the pattern would look on the pony. It looks far from final in any case.
Awww, thank you for the thanks (hee hee) but Chocolate Starfire took the pics that made all this speculation possible. <3Concerned Pony is a treasure, as always. <3

I got A photo of them, which was linked earlier in the thread; I'll repost it in case anyone can't get IG to work! At the time it was more of a perfunctory photo, because I figured that we had already seen these prototypes! I wish I had realized before the event ended!! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Quote from: BlackCurtains on September 05, 2022, 04:59:08 AMHuh. Maybe they couldn't figure out how to do the swirls like they wanted and that's why they scrapped them?(Disclaimer - I haven't seen the photo yet, still wrestling w/ Instagram lol - so I might be way off here)I remember reading a while ago that there was a Monster High char (Kala) who was originally intended to have swirly/marbled skin, but they had to scrap it because the plastic mix kept reacting badly and burning, or something like that? I wonder if something similar happened here?
