Little Pony prototypes

[achab1984]

WOW!! Some of them are pretty cool!!! I would love to see some of them come out down the road

[moonsugar]

How totally bizarre!

[Prideth]

Definitely knock offs, but they're very well done!  The seller was probably vague because he can get into a good bit of legal trouble for selling them as "My Little Pony".

Oh man, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are gorgeous! I'm really intrigued by these.

[Dragonflitter]

Hmm the seller calls them "production sample" though, which seems to imply prototypes to me. Maybe some of the factories are messing around with some alternative looks for the new brushables?

Black pony is not bad, but others... So strange...

Yeah- I think it likely based on their other listings, that these aren't actual prototypes, rather, just the factory making random desins.

There is no way Hasbro would have ordered this fuzzy Twilight, lol!

That said I did like the black sparkly one

[Vulpy]

Something to do with SDCC maybe?

[Flitter]

A'ha! Looks like I wasn't the only one watching those 
They are so bizarre aren't they!

Oh wow! Thanks for posting those photos the seller sent you, pyrodarknessanny. How interesting that some of them look similar to the upcoming next Rainbow Power wave. I really do wonder if these are real prototypes or not. Having those rainbow power symbols printed on seems to be the only indicator they might be. I'd especially love to see some of those translucent ones and translucent ones with glitter inside make it into production as new characters someday.

The metalic one is a custom fbr. You can see the origional color in the neck seam, a blip in the paint on the chest and a hair stuck on the back leg. It looks really familiar, like one I've seen on here in custom baits .....
The horn on the alicorn is oversized.

[Galactica]

They don't look like customs to me so much as recasts, which is incredibly common these days.

Still I'd love those clear glittery ones- if the seller puts out more I'd get them

[Wardah]

It looks like a weird mix of factory protos and samples. I'm wondering if the clear ones are resin or pony vinyl. The ones with actual factory paint matching soon to be released ponies make me think this person might have factory connections. Maybe the glitter ones are from when they were trying to develop the Snowglobe ponies.

I love those with glitters inside, the blue one with a dress to the yellow unicorn are great too!! I hope they are futur real ponies.

I like some of those.. others not so much. The clear ones are fab!

[hathorcat]

Oooooh interesting! How much I want Fluffy Twilight cannot be described

I would initially have jumped on the customs boat as well however I think I could be more persuaded to actual protos or samples. In fact, without Chewbaccas and Twilight Sparkles love child in a clearly opened package, I would have more firmly have gone with the production sample thought. The fluffy TS is throwing me.

As others have mentioned, its the inclusion of some ponies which are almost, but not quite, versions of ponies which we are actually seeing which makes me think they are test items.
