Sorry for the bad pictures, these are back home in NY at the moment so I couldn't take better pix

I have a few oddballs from Taobao


Rarity on Diamond Rose body and Diamond Rose with tinsel and no symbol. I switched their heads after so Diamond Rose could have her cutie mark

I have a pretty show-accurate Celestia! This is an unreleased prototype! She has magenta iris with regular shaped pupils, no tinsel, white body color, she the right colors in her mane, and her shoes are painted! I sadly have yet to meet a collector who has her too.

*Also not included in my taobao prototype collection are 11 out of 12 of the new skinny design "G4.5 or possible movie" brushables. I got a lot of 11 ponies from China, they are all different poses! I think I am only missing Celestia! They are on their way right now in the mail but I can add their pictures here later! ^-^

And my Taobao fakies so far! Princess Celestia with purple hair, "Princess Applejack", "Princess Rainbow Dash", and alicorn Rarity with a zap code! I also have Princess FLuttershy on the way, and I want the other 3 princess fakies with Celestia's mold! I also saw a pinkie pie and applejack fakie with pegasus wings, going to try to grab those two!

So many pretties!! aaa!!!

oooh and yes I'd love to see photos of gradient-wings Cadance if anyone here has her!! She's one of my favourites.

Hornless Rarity is so cute, I've never seen one like that before!! And that big-eyed Ditzy and ohh my gosh Princess Lala!! that CELESTIA omg!! She's so pretty, I wish they were released like that ;w; And Minty. (I still prefer this version to the final release!)

Also I didn't know proto Silver Spoon was so different! :O

[Breyer600]

I feel like I've posted this pic on the arena too many times but

There can never be too much Minty! She's gorgeous, omg. And that baby unicorn, aaaa!! So cute!

[Princess Lala]

OMG thanks for your picture of gradient wing Cadance, Flitter!!!!! Woooow omg she is so lovely!

I also didnt know that lightning dust was a prototype! Ive got to hunt her down now!

[Spectrum]

This is the same exact girl as the one Flitter posted, but the more the merrier, right? P: I sold her a long while back though because I needed to pay for some prioritized stuff. She's somewhere in Italy now.

Here you go. The two metallic Rarity figs might be protos or might be fakies, I can't tell, but the others are all prototypes of one stripe or another. I have some others too, head swaps and unfinished paint jobs and missing glitters, but these are the more interesting ones.

[Honeycomb]

If anyone is selling that yellow baby again in the future, shoot me a pm! I'm dying to get her one day.

That's my kinda thread! In the earlier taobao days it was quite easy for me to catch fancy ponies.

Her mane has a crimped printed gradient, similar to the CMCs that were released much later.

Thank you! I tried to nab as many as I could when they were on Taobao but sadly missed Minty and Sweetie Blue.
