Hasbro G4 Prototype Boards (pic heavy)

I actually think prototype Shining Armor looks like g3 Whistle Wishes. . .

Wish they'd kept that nylon hair.  Such awesome pics!

Brushable SA, and the stocky mold... I weep for its loss, would have looked a lot better.

Still cool to see how the playsets are created though. I'm impressed with the foam board prototype, that must have taken lots of skill and patience to make!

[dxgirly]

yeah, I prefer the hair on the prototype as well. haha

Woow!!! This is sooo awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!!! But what a shame they changed the hair on Shining Armor, I actually like the first prototype better!!

I hope they decide to use that prototype boy mold in the future. The angles on the face are so much more attractive than what they actually released.

i love that castle, if i ever get it  im going to paint it that colour , i really do not like the tacky colours it is now and i really love the pony couple   prototype's better.
thanks for sharing

I like the prototype mold better too.  I agree with what someone said earlier, it looks like a mold for a younger boy pony, a colt.  Maybe they will use it as a colt mold with a slightly smaller scale.

I think that would make my year! Someone go suggest it

I like the prototype Shinning Armor more than the finished product. The prototype has great hair. I don't understand Hasbro sometimes. ;..;

[Mermaid]

Aww I really like that prototype! I wish they would have gone with the nylon hair as well!

[InkyMilk]

That prototype is SO cute. I really really wish they had gone more with a design like that...I can't stand the look they ended up actually using for SA. Oh well, maybe that means they have a design for future boy pony brushables. HA. I can dream!

[gargoylekitty]

Aw, that prototype SA is adorable. Would have bumped him up to 'must get' rather than a 'eh... maybe'. Really not loving what they went with, especially dat hair.

[Saja]

He looks like a cute young boy with real hair, and abit girly, With the hair he has now he is more manly! But still hope they bring out brushable boys soon!

It's sad for me to see this thread.. .because they came so close to actually making a BOY PONY!
I'm talking g1 big brother style, they had big bullky bodies and it looked great that way. I agree the prototype has a somewhat girly head, but I would gladly accept that in place of the released version of SA with those strange hyena legs.. Have you ever seen a dog in a dog wheelchair with tiny legs due to muscle atrophy? That's what the prince looks like to me.

I prefer the new shape/silhouette of shining armor. It looks more masculine. I wish they would've kept the fabulous hair like with the big brothers though!
