I thought it was a new pony and got excited. Then I looked more closely.

It's Cherry Berry and Pinkie, not Cherry Pie, though one of those exists too.

So, are people at the factory just randomly switching heads and selling them?  lol

Now I know what to do with all the extras of the Mane 6 that I have. Rehair time!

Now the big question is: Is her body the color of Cherry Berry's?  If so, I will be impressed.

 This looks like "I have these extra pieces, how do I make money out of them" Assembly time!

I like this one.

I really wonder what's going on in the factory, lol.

Nevertheless, these are really dang interesting to see. I wonder what they'll randomly make next. :P

Oh my. I've never botherd much with the prototypes before since there's just so many and trying to keep track of them all just makes my head spin XD But this one, this sweet little Pinkie Berry Pie something... I WANT! :P
Title: Re: This confused me at first (Taobao find)
Post by: hathorcat on June 26, 2012, 02:01:26 AM
I love her this way! Pinkie should totally be a blonde - nice little throw back to Surprise!

I guess someone used a Cherry Berry head and plonked it on a Pinkie Pie body...is it bad that quality control problems are generating some of the cuter ponies?

Kind of reminds me of Shady.

She reminds me of Shady too!

I think she looks cute like that though.

Cute! I love seeing these Taobao oddities  :)

Post by: BrightSide on June 26, 2012, 05:59:09 AM
Cherry Pie!!

*squeee* Oh my gosh, I really want her.. Although this also inspires me to play around when I eventually start customising. Surprise and Pinkie hybrid? I think yes. :silly:
Title: Re: This confused me at first (Taobao find)
Post by: michelle53 on June 26, 2012, 06:24:55 AM
Oh wow!!  Pinkie should be a blonde for sure!  I wouldn't mind having this pony, but it would have to be a custom considering I'm sure she's sold out by now.
Title: Re: This confused me at first (Taobao find)

It must be true that blondes have more fun. *giggle*

Ooo I love her!  But.. I have no idea how to use Taobao  :blush:

Post by: Starie on June 26, 2012, 11:12:35 AM
Woah really interesting! Is the body colour Pinkie's normal body colour? Also bent leg pose too, I don't think Pinkie Pie has been released in that pose?

I was also surfing Taobao and I found this interesting version of Cadence with a dress, tinsel in her hair and weird octagonal eye dots XD :

Ohh want to see! A fluttershy with those weird eyes was found recently.
Herp. Darn you slow internet. Ignore!

Very interesting! i'm betting crystal empire.

omg they have done a twinkle eye pony thing like a painted version of the g1 TE, i like it
ps must have that pinkie
Title: Re: This confused me at first (Taobao find)
Post by: hathorcat on June 26, 2012, 12:47:16 PM
ooooh...interesting find Starie - that does have similarities the the Fluttershy we have seen before...

[Hoping that the dress is not an indication they are going to keep to the "plastic" clothes of the most recent generations...I really hoped the actual "fabric" clothes we had seen with the FS meant Hasbro had finally decided to go back to old style pony wear]

Oooh I actually love Pinkie with yellow hair like that! I have a feeling that if I ever worked in the pony factory, I'd make loads of Franken-Ponies, too!  :P

Me too! Maybe it's Pinkie's mom. :P

Here's some more randomness... I actually love the blue fluttershy/trixie :)  It's interesting how all these variants have the second pose style too...

Lyra/Sunny Rays

Trixie/Fluttershy

Post by: StarlightGaze on June 28, 2012, 10:53:56 AM
Interesting variants! And all raised hooves too.

The Pinkie one looks like Cherry Berry, with a Pinkie Pie symbol.

Heartstrings has purple eyes instead of yellow (Lulu Luck eyes? Trixie Eyes), and a Sunny Rays symbol.

Lulamoon looks like her lighter prototype, with a Fluttershy symbol and Starbeam Twinkle eyes.

Also, I wonder what's up with Crystal Empire? Maybe Cadance lives there?

Hm, that is interesting.
I don't think I'm gonna be a fan of snap on clothes either. I rarely put any of the clothing accessories on my ponies for display anyway but I worry that clothes like these, if they are packaged with the ponies, will cause dents in the plastic or scratches on the cutie marks.


Here's some more randomness...
Those are definitely random! The color combo's are kinda neat.
I don't see myself ever wanting one of these 'frankenponies' though.
I feel like maybe some of the very first ones we saw might have been prototypes or factory errors/tests but that the factory workers are just messing with us now  :sleepy:

I saw those Lyra/Sunny and Trixie/Fluttershy mix ups in another thread! Very cool!!
