Title: Porcelain pony catalog scans (Extra Special 1985)
Post by: Rhaegar on January 28, 2020, 02:53:19 PM

I've been scanning various pony related documents (will post more of these in the future) but here are catalog scans from 1985 for the porcelain ponies and a few other toy lines. I love seeing some of the prototype differences, like "Surprise" and a correct Sprinkles. Feel free to take and use as you want, no credit needed.

That's awesome!
I dream of one of those porcelain.

That's so neat! Thank you for sharing. The new snowbabies that feature the G1's remind me of these. I would like to pick up one or two at some point. :)

How fantastic! I'm always a sucker for the Wedding Prance one, of course. Thank you so much for sharing!

Oooh, more wonderful scans, thank you! :D These are awesome. I love that prototype First Born, with the more traditional hip symbol instead of it being splashed across her back - I wish they'd kept that.

Ah...what a dream it would be to have even one of these.

There are some cool figurines that I've never seen before. I don't remember ever seeing these in the stores. The figures I got were at a close out store and there were only a couple options. Very nice set, though...wish they still made porcelain figurines.

These scans are awesome! Thanks for the great resolution scans  :)  I think I have them saved somewhere, but it's been a while since I've seen them. So much nostalgia.

The porcelains are one of my favourite MLP pieces. It took many years to find them all, but I now have the full US set. They're all displayed in my bedroom, and I never get tired of looking at them. Such a special set!

Wow, that's wonderful of you to share those scans with us!  They are so neat.  I'm not a porcelain collector (I'm too afraid of breaking them), but I loved getting to see them.
