Prototype Ponies
This page is devoted to "the ponies that weren't." This page features various stages of My Little Pony prototypes from Generation 1 that did not make it to production. During G1 Hasbro seemed to pretty consistently change their mind after the prototype was made and all the related media produced, resulting in the ponies that were actually produced looking somewhat different than in the ads, in their pamphlets and on their backcards.

Irresistibles
Pages from 1991 Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog, apparently these were never produced.
Sweet Ice Delight Cottage
Princess Ponies
- Princess Ponies with color variations in the accessories
Cloud Puff
- darker colored Cloud Puff

Hippity Hop appears as a unicorn rather than a pegasus on her backcard. Ie when her backcard art was made they were planning for her to be a unicorn, but this changed by the time that she went into production.

Apparently we were supposed to get a whole set of human friends for the non-pony animal friends!

Satin 'n Lace was originally going to be in the Collectors Pose.

This prototype lives at Hasbro. She comes out for the pony fairs and such. She is hand carved from a hard wax and hand painted.
It looks like she then made it to the Collectors Pose, before finally becoming a Sitting Pose pony, or morphing into Cotton Candy.
