I don't know about value, but I think it would be a very bad idea to try and customise or alter her in anyway...

Agreed. I'm pretty horrified people were even suggesting altering her at all...

I know customs are pretty mainstream, but this is an irreplaceable pony that was a part of MLP history... its one thing to destroy vintage toys, but its another to destroy incredibly special pieces like prototypes, unfinished ponies, clay ponies, etc...

I guarantee that if anyone ever has a special pony like this they want to alter, someone will buy it instead and preserve this piece of pony past.

I definitely third not customizing her in any way.  She is definitely desirable as is!  I do think that maybe Khayman81 was making a joke.  ;)

Of course, if the pony is not valuable you can or not customize it, but if it is that's another thing. Anyway it is a rarity :-)

Oh, do not worry, it was not my intention to make a custom of it, I want to keep it, but it was to know its value.
Thank you very much for sharing your opinions and advice.

Placing a value on this sort of thing is very hard.

She is priceless to the community as she provides a unique incite into the creation process, which we would other wise not know about. Many unfinished, pilot skins, clay patterns and prototypes we just binned. The ones that exist were saved by their creators.

If you were to sell her, I honestly don't know how much she would fetch. The few that are in the hands of collectors were sold privately so I have no idea what they went for.

I also have to add intrest in her may be limited, these sorts of things only appeal to a small number of people. This would cap her price.

At the end of the day, she s only worth hat someone is willing to pay for her ;)

I have always wanted to add one of these to my collection, but have no idea of what the value is.  I wouldn't even know where to start.  I see a lot more G3-G4 "prototypes" and they often go unsold on ebay, unless they are in the $25 range.

Does she qualify for the OOAK list?
