Who are these G1 ponies? (Backcard art)

[BabySunnybunch]

I received this adorable kit with a mini G1 Firefly and a mini book with some G1 art in it. This backcard art was in the book. I don't recognize any of these ponies' anyone have any idea who they are or what their deal is?

They were a group of ponies that never made it into production. Celestial Ponies I think was the name most people gave them?

[Meadowhaven]

Oh my goodness!  That's so sad these ponies never made it to production.  They're gorgeous.  *___*

Oh my goodness!  I remember them. I'm so disappointed they were never produced.

I would have expected those to have been released in Europe (they get the awesome ponies with bits coming out of their heads). I'd love to make customs of them... Someday...

I did see that someone made customs of them using Flutter Ponies.. but I'm wondering... if the Celestial Ponies were supposed to be the Color Swirl ponies or were they inspired by the Color Swirls

You so make them sound like aliens xD You mean the Hairdo Ponies? I think the Celestials were a cooler concept, but the Hairdos were also pearly, so who knows. I wish we had had them here. I think they look like SHS. It looks like SHS art to me. At least the pink one does...

But you know, maybe they did evolve as an idea into the colorswirls...or they could've been an early concept idea for Glowing Magic/Glow & Show I suppose?

Yup Hair-do ponies and Princess Sparkle with her awesome glowing crown. How about Nurse ponies with the holes in the head for the hats? You guys got some goodies over there!!


They look like they could be like color swirls--but pearlized. Oh the possibilities!

Holes in heads and other parts of the body = good pony? Ok xD

(Seaside Babies had holes in their feet - do they count?? )

I have the Flutter Pony customs.  Skig made them.  They're all swirly! 

This is the only picture I have uploaded though:

They're ponies FROM SPAAAAAAAAAAACE.

[BabySunnybunch]

Oh my gosh I LOVE them!! I'm so sad they were never created! Pretty interesting they decided to include this art in the little book.

[LordBlumiere]

Man, I'm still upset these ones never actually got released! They're so pretty... ugh :C

[LadyMoondancer]

I don't think they're Sweetheart Sister ponies, they were drawn with longer legs and a million eyelashes. (I almost typed eyebrows . . . now that would be an interesting set!)

My guess would be either the Precious Pocket molds or "normal" adult molds.  I wish they'd still been drawing ponies in their actual poses at that point, then we'd know for sure!  (I was just looking through later year backcards and, man, they sure loved drawing ponies with their mouths open.)
