Weird prototype ponies - maybe a preview or two of things to come?

[Galactica]

I bought some weird prototypes/test shots from a Chinese seller that works with one of the factories that makes Hasbro ponies. He often has some neat stuff, and just as often has weird spare parts that truly are not interesting at all 

I thought these were neat so I nabbed them. 

He still has the same clear yellow unicorn (without hair) on ebay right now- along with some headless bodies that he obviously wants way too much for...you can search under "my little pony prototype"

The Pinkie definitely looks like a test shot of some sort. She has four rows for bangs, and four rows for her mane- and you can kind of see where they drew the lines to indicate where the pony should be haired.  The hair is super kinky- it is not, as I had originally thought, the soft "styling strands" type hair- but just regular ole nylon.

The unicorn I can't figure out. She is brushable size, and also has lines drawn to show where she should have hair- but the head while in the same SHAPE as the larger unicorn figures- is way smaller.  I looked through every single unicorn mold and it doesn't match any of them. (Smaller than even the snow-globe ponies) I do wonder if it means something like this will be around the corner?  Maybe she is supposed to be Princess Gold Lily? (although she has no wings and her head is smaller than the existing mold for that pony)

She is also not the same glazed color as the fluttershy prototype that popped up a while back- she is more clear.  She does have the Hasbro MLP mold stamp on her hooves.

Hope we see their final product on these 2
very cool that they will release more Transparent ponies I'm all up for that

Some are hoping its a new male head on the yellow one. I would kinda see a Sbals out of that mold

[Galactica]

I'm definitely in favor of more transparent ponies!

I don't think the Unicorn head is a male head, but you never know. It seems to be the same look as the other Princess heads- just a bit smaller.  Very weird actually.

That's pretty cool!! The yellow unicorn is interesting.... Thanks for sharing

WOW! That horn is really big on that smaller yellow one.

WOW! That horn is really big on that smaller yellow one.

For sure it is huge- same size as the horn on the snow-globe ponies (only it looks even bigger- since they have slightly larger heads)

[gabumon]

What about the body on that yellow one?  Is it just a playful size pony mold? Or different?

Oh wow! How interesting - loving that yellow unicorn. I really hope they are a sign of things to come. Congrats on tracking them down.

Love the unicorn!! But her horn is a little...thick? Maybe it's for a male unicorn?
