questionable prototypes on ebay
« on: April 17, 2015, 07:53:55 AM »
has any one else seen the  "odd"   prototype  g4  ponies on ebay  recently?

they are all from the  same seller  who seams to be based in Italy .

the photos are kind of grainy   but to met least the  cutie marks  look like     nail  decals / transfers  or   temporary tattoos  ... there is just something  verry  off with  these ponies ...

the other  2  "protos" this seller has look like   head swaps.
these  cuttie markes are just so odd and  don't really  match up with anything mlp.

any ways if any one is thinking about   getting them,  id be  cautious about it , they just don't seam right at  all.

That Rarity has the same pattern as the Rainbow Power playful fakies, and I'm pretty sure I've seen that cutie mark on blindbag fakies before. Not sure about Pinkie, but yeah, I wouldn't trust these.

The seller could have put a regular Rarity head on that fakie body.

I can't remember right now whose head that would be. All the pink unicorns I can find have more blue in their eyes, even the fakie. But why would you headswap a Sweetsong (and a Minty, also among their auctions), when she's already uncommon? :(

Wooow, the Rarity with the heart symbol, in particular, looks very fake.  That definitely looks like a temporary tattoo or some kind of decal to me.

Huh, weird ponies! :P I wonder if they're legit, or if it's someone trying to cash in on the proto-pony fans

The bird and heart look like nail transfers- you are correct.

But they could just be knock-offs.  They don't look like prototypes.

I was wondering about these too. They look like nail art stickers or temp tattoos. I wouldn't trust it at all.

I feel like I've seen that bird on Pinkie Pie's cutie mark before.  Like on a sticker or scrapbook paper or something?  It just looks really, really familiar to me for some reason.
