The Rarity/Blossomforth hybrid are headswaps, not done by myself (I hasten to add) but I bought them separately, one off the sales forum here and the other off ebay. I think they look kinda cool together!!  The Blonde Pinkie is Cherry Blossom's body with Pinkie's cutie mark. That's a bit more difficult to fake outside of the factory - unless you have super skills with a teeny paint brush!!!

I looooove blonde Pinkie - thats one of my favourite frankenponies and I wish they had made Pinkie that way - she is so much cuter!

Spike I promised I would take a picture of some of mine yesterday  I will try and get around to it today but I do have a picture of these girls that I took earlier.

I think Pinkie was wondering if blondes really do have more fun!!!!

I have been considering what exactly is the difference between a prototype and a factory error. I guess prototypes are tests, never meant to be sold, they are sometimes unfinished ponies as factories may run different tests fro body mold, painting, eyes, hair, etc... don't know...

Stella Bella and Holly Blue seems to fall on the factory error category for me, but they decided to use the "errors" as exclusives.

Does anyone have a more clear explanation? These is just my guesses on the issue but I would like to have a clearer concept in mind ^^

Anyway, here is my Gusty besides her prototype.

The Argie white prototypes in Posey's pose are very cool. Which symbol variants are there of this prototype? Are there more of them without a symbol vs with symbol?

the pink ribbon G3s as well... And the styling-sized oriental-looking G3!

Has someone heard of any other symbols on these?

[hathorcat]

@Buffy - there are 4 of her floating around in total - Glacia has pictured hers here too - I am sure one of them will go on the market eventually. If I ever consider selling or auctioning I will let you know. I would absolutely love to find out one day what they were created for!

Stella Bella and Holly Blue seems to fall on the factory error category for me, but they decided to use the "errors" as exclusives.

Neither of them were official pony's - they were purchased by meet organisers and UK PonyCon for their own events as in the case of the latter Hasbro were unwilling to supply an official pony.
