Honestly I think it's really sad that neither the MLP Fair nor Ponycon get their own exclusives. I understand it probably wasn't profitable for them, but the "hey, we know you're here!" sentiment of it was nice. Now it's just radio silence aside from the fact that Hasbro let Basic Fun make replicas.

With the exception of the 2005 and 2006 Fair exclusives and those shared with Comic Con from 2012-2016 (which were a "pre-sale" for SDCC), Hasbro didn't just give ponies to the events.
now that is interesting to get the history - yeah I never thought of holly blue as a prototype but as the UK ponycon pony. Smart move IMO on the organizers to take advantage and get the production of her made so that they had a rep pony for the event. Yeah the whole "oops" at the manufacturing level seems suspect for alot of "prototypes" of the G4 line so that most of them I can't imagine are real production prototypes except there's like that minty, a translucent fluttershy that I think was before the whole crystal-empire with Cadence/Shining Armor story-line, and that sweetie blue which yes! I would love to know if Ms. Cake and Pinkie were supposed to get another helper or if cupcake just got a wrong bod in the batch-making that day which seems the case... oh if only toys could actually talk and give us the scoop
