Title: Taobao Ponies for Taobao Ponies, anyone?
Post by: SilverCascade on April 04, 2024, 12:50:14 AM

Hi! I collect G4 Taobao samples and rejects, and I've inadvertently ended up with a couple of doubles over the years. In the interest of collecting and documenting more, I thought I'd wager some of my spares to see if anyone here has any they'd be interested in trading for!

All of them have a bit of factory scuff and possibly light shelf wear, but they've been cared for to the best of my ability and kept sealed in resealable baggies. More detailed pics of any can be taken and sent by request!

The three Crystal Motion ponies lack copyright information under their hooves, indicating they are most likely test runs from before the mold was finalized.

I'm primarily looking for pre-2014 Taobao ponies and samples, such as a few of the 2011-2013 prototypes and/or frankenponies, the 2013 Rainbow Power hybrid samples, factory hair/tail swaps, etc. If you have a very very good one you're willing to trade and would like more than one of the offerings shown above for it, I'm sure we can work something out if I still need it!

This will be my first trade on this forum, but feel free to check out my feedback on my eBay (https://www.ebay.com/usr/silver_cascade_central) and Mercari (https://www.mercari.com/u/116858552/) stores.

Thanks for looking!
