Taobao Prototype/Variant List and Information

[saply]

Ooh, cool!!!

Thanks! I was wondering this. Unfortunately, some of the sellers of the variants are no longer selling any ponies.

I saw that, too!  I wonder if this is a result of people asking Hasbro people if Pony was real.  They may have cracked down after that.  I would rather being able to see crazy variant ponies, than know if Pony was real a month or two before it is released.

I thought the same too. I'm a little bummed. And the unsatisfactory answer from Hasbro's CS.

Again thanks for the nice page!

Thanks for the offer, Sarahbee.  I will be updating things in 3 weeks when I get back from a business trip, so I may just use some pics. Thanks 

  They're on there now, just not in the right folders lol *needs a few days where time stops to allow me to get everything done!*

Wow, this is so informative. Thanks

Wow it's getting really obvious, seeing some of these, that some of the factory workers are grabbing any old pony parts and sticking them together to make a quick online sale.

Some of these are most likely real prototypes, like Minty and Pony. But Hasbro would never put an adult head on a filly body, even as a prototype. That's just someone fooling around with spare parts.

Also noticed lots of these 'prototypes' have a random tail from another pony, which also implies the spare parts theory.

I love seeing all these, especially the "never released at all" versions like Minty (great photo of her, btw).  While a lot of these seem like random things tossed together, the unique colors and styles are the most intriguing.  I can't wait til we get Minty and the new filly ponies.
