g3 never released? not sure, i can't remember

[Sebby6]

I used to work for a well known fashion company and this happened all the time. Samples would be made up ahead of a new collection and sent to the distributors. Photo shoots would be done and catalogues made. Then if not enough units were ordered, it would be become what's known as a non-buy. This would be mean that it didn't get put into production (too expensive if you can't meet the minimums) and the customers who had ordered it would have it cancelled from their orders.

Sometimes you don't find out about a non-buy until quite late on, so mail order companies etc, would already have prepared their site ready for people to start ordering.

Good old "stock promo photos" these drive me crazy in real life work and in pony-land

She's so beautiful! Ah! I wish she had been released. She would be on my most wanted list!

She is beautiful and I would love to have her but I'm afraid she's just a prototype hence the name of another pony on the package. I believe Cute Curtsey already had been released when this picture originally showed up.

I wonder why she was never released, such a beautiful pony.  I wish Hasbro would do more Holiday themed ponies with the G4 line.

I was a die-hard collector back when the G3's first came out and all the way untill they started with Ponyville and the Core 7. And I can't recall ever seeing this girl poping up on Ebay.

Nevertheless though I'd still LOVE to have her She's so pretty. Wish they had released her.

This girl was high on my want list.  If she was released I would have had her!  But I don't.  So....never released!  Lol!  I remember checking constantly to see if she came up anywhere but she never did.  Boooooo.

I would love to see this as well.. But not the main six dressed up! I want some real winter ponies with snowflakes and what not!

So, how about someone here goes and gets employed by Hasbro, then makes us this pony? Deal?
She's sooo beautiful! Why does Hasbro always go for pink ponies

Well in this case they did actually make two. But if there was no interest in the blue one then that's why it didn't get put into production.

Oh HB, you love to confuse us. xD

It's probably the same story as Ribbons and Hearts had. Made, looked amazing, never released for who knows why. u-u I still have hope Ribbons and Hearts will be released one day.

And just that old boring - but probably true - line of in a girls toy line pink probably sells better Doesnt stop it being frustrating though or stop the craving for some other colour!

[StarDragon]

Wow, she is pretty. She would be on my wish list if she ever existed!

[sarafina]

Oh my gosh...Cute Curtsey is gorgeous!!  I've never seen that picture before!
