Diffrence between prototype FS white Celestia and TTM release?

[QueenGusty]

I think I've just scored the prototype white Celestia off ebay. I've had a quick check over her and I can't see / feel any glitter from her wings / horn being deglittered or the music notes being taken off. Is there anything else I can check for? I just want to make sure I haven't paid over the odds for a deglittered/acetone'd TTM girl.

I believe the prototype Celestia had a fourth colour in her hair, while TTM had three. Also, TTM has a darker symbol than the prototype.

I thought that might be it; in that case I am proud to say I definitely have the prototype! She has blue, minty green, purple and a purply pink in her mane and her symbol is quite light coloured. Happy days!

The hair pattern colors and smaller eye pattern! I still need the original version! Oh yes the cutie mark is different! Someone here a looong time ago had comparison pictures! She will be mine someday, her and Celery ( the celestia body and rarity head ).

Those taobao prototypes were the good ole' G4 days!!!.

Yeah- the one that is a prototype-  has 4 colors-  blue, greenish-blue, purple and pink in her mane and tail, while post-production (recent) pony has only 3 colors, greenish-blue, purple and pink.  The way the hair feels is pretty different too- the prototype has softer hair, the newer hair is more shiny and plastic feeling.  I think the new version also has a smaller butt symbol.

Sorry- it's a little hard to tell in this dark photo- but the prototype is on the top, while the "through the mirror" celestia is on the bottom.

The prototype eye also seems slightly bigger

Actually- the hair colors in this PINK Celestia (photo from StrawberryReef) are identical to the prototype hair colors- and I think you can see the 4 colors much better here...

Oh...Galactia, thank you so much for the photos!  Would you mind if I save them onto my computer for future reference?  White Celestia is my #1 want at the moment...though she will be out of my budget for quite some time.

Squee! I'm pretty happy with that  Galactica, my girl definitely is the prototype

On a random note, the only Hasbro toy wherein Celestia has her right hair colours is the first release EQG and her matching pony.

Super congrats Carrie!

Sure- of course.  Oh, I forgot to mention that the PINK Celestia with the 4-color hair was the single release Celestia (the Pink Celestia that came in the 2-pack with Luna has just the three colors, weirdly).

Congrats on nabbing the prototype! No doubt that is the prettiest version of FS Celestia.

You should, you know, share some pictures.

Well you know, you twisted my arm aluke....here she is with Cellyzombie. You can just see her minty-green hair stripe leading down past her ear I'm hoping to get a picture of the full Celly army sometime this weekend so will post that as well
