Little Pony prototypes

[LadyMoondancer]

My guess would be that these were test ponies, to see how various materials / body applications / would look.

I'm talking about the ones with glitter embedded, not fuzzy Twilight.  I don't know WHAT to think of her, ha ha!

I dunno.  It seems to me that if they were just fakies, they'd have . . . eyes?  And Hasbro would have to test new ideas before making a new run of "glitter ponies" or whatever.

The thing that puzzles me about the customs idea is that these listings were astonishingly poorly done. One photo apiece, most of them not even named "My Little Pony," and from a seller who hadn't touched eBay for about a year (and before that, more like a decade). And the seller isn't MLP-focused either; they list "prototypes" for Littlest Pet Shop and Hot Wheels and other things I am utterly unequipped to judge the veracities of.

Making those snowglobe ponies would take a lot of work, and if someone made them on their own in order to get a lot of money, I'd expect significantly more effort to be put into selling them...

This is where I stand on it. If I had seen everything but not seen fuzzy Twilight, I would be 100% on the test/sample theory. They are too unfinished and a little too complicated to be fakies or recasts. Also were they only listed in quantities of one or two? Its the inclusion of Chewwy Sparkle which is throwing me off.

Could the fuzz have been a test for a LPS but the pony was what was handy at the time?

I wish Hasbro went the route of the translucent pony with the embedded confetti and not the Ponies dunked in glitter! But yeah Faux Fuzz Twilight really is a throw off.. She looks like a walking bush!

Hathorcat, you're right.  The seller only had one or two of each and usually fakies come in droves.  I hope these really are prototypes.  I wish they had made the confetti ponies.  I love them.

They have some weird wings up now.  What could they be for?  A pony?

Oooh, id like to see ponies come out with wings like that.

That clear blue pony with the yellow hair calls to me!

[Galactica]

Well regardless of whether they are recasts, tests by the factory for itself or for Hasbro- I definitely want those glitter ponies-  I hope that Hasbro comes out with those!!

Aside from the pictures posted in this thread, I can't find what you guys are seeing on ebay

[Marigold]

They sold.  And I think they are hidden because some I could see before are gone. Like the glitter ones.

Wings, for those having troubles finding them. As something of a first, there are actually alternate angles available, but they don't really add much.

Also this poor Twilight. The seller has something against her, I swear.

Love the Fluffy Twilight hahaha *inserts Despicable Me quote* It's so fluffy I'm gonna die D:

[rtattles]

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

We asked Hasbro for So Soft Ponies - our prayers have been answered!!!!!! Hasbro does listen!

Often not in a good way.

Those wings are from the large talking G4 princess ponies, aren't they?
