Hi, I've been watching a lot of the MLP commercials lately and a lot of them feature prototype ponies that were changed by the time they mass produced. The Brush and Grow Princess ponies feature a different pose Star Gleamer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjjOtweYTxU What prototype ponies would you have liked to see mass produced? I think Baby Truly would have been a big seller. Ponyfan

No-one else is bothered by this? visitors can't see pics , please register or loginOh dear, that makes her look like she has elephant feet! visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Wow, I love that prototype TAF photo. I wonder why they decided to change poses?

Glad I could share something interesting! Quote from: Taffeta on August 20, 2018, 01:59:51 PMIt took me a whole three minutes to realise that was Buttons, not Mimic.I'm honestly so glad that Buttons isn't in that pose. Can you imagine all the poor Buttonses that would have been sacrificed to become DIY Mimics by over-enthusiastic customisers?Quote from: Safflower on August 20, 2018, 02:28:13 PMWhere is that picture from? It's awesome Quote from: tuneful87 on August 20, 2018, 07:23:39 PMWhoa- any backhistory on the Buttons/Bonnie/Glider photo?! Gah, I want all three!It's a picture of a very old Polaroid from the collection of the lovely and talented Ruth Bush. Way back when, before everyone had email, Slack, and a camera in their pocket, the quickest way for Hasbro's employees to communicate about their designs was to take Polaroids and physically send a picture to whomever needed it. (Sorry about the image quality, but I hope it's understandable why it can't be helped!)You can just barely see Munchy out of frame in the lower right. I think she's in a different pose as well, but I can't be sure which it is. In contrast, the Big Brother ponies in the background seem ready for production, right down to their accessories, but maybe a male-pony expert can spot some subtle differences.Speaking of Big Brothers, the pony that became Slugger was initially going to have a wagon symbol. I'm not a fan of baseball -- and how does a pony use a glove?! -- so I would have much preferred that. No picture of that one, though, I think he didn't even get past the spitballing stage of design!

Baby Flutter ponies would've been amazing. When I was a kid, I would pretend that the Summer Wing ponies were baby Flutter ponies. I would've been SO excited if there'd been actual baby Flutters!
