Prototype Prehistoric scenes model parts.

This page is for some of the prototypes that Aurora considered but never used.
Including the original design for the Cromagnon Woman that was rejected because it was too rieque. And some alternate pieces for the Woolly Mammoth that were dropped due to cost issues.

First up is this one for the Cromagnon Woman

As you can see, the face is the same, and so is the overall shape and size.
But the prototype is a little bustier, and the top is a bit more revealing.

As these pictures show, the skirt is also a bit more revealing.
Slashed in the front, and considerably shorter in the back.
The production piece ended up being a lot more reserved

Next are these alternative legs and trunk for the Woolly Mammoth model kit.
Aurora was going to have alternate pieces, like they did with several other kits. But ended up not using them. Probably due to cost issues. The model was pretty big and used a lot of plastic already. The addition of these 3 (which would have been 6 piece) would have added even more to the cost of the kit.

These pics will show how different they are from the legs actually used in production

The right leg is raised more and curled.

The left leg is raised and curled also.
Leads me to believe that using both those legs you could pose the kit as if the mammoth was rearing up on it's hind legs.

The trunk is curled back towards the head.
