I uploaded a few images of a Prototype or Pre-production Winnie the Pooh
figure. You can see the obvious color difference; the more yellow figure on
the right is the pre-production version. I thought this would be fun to
share since not many LEGO pieces in this stage make it out to the public.

The second images shows the “rough” nature of this piece. You can see the
quick molding job done down Pooh’s right side and a large injection hole at
the top of his leg.

In the third image you can almost see the change they made in the head mold.
On the prototype a seam on the top of the head goes from ear to ear, but in
the released version, the mold seam comes down to Pooh’s brow in a
rectangular shape.

Finally, in the fourth image you can make out where the copyright
information is on his back. On the prototype the names Lego Group and Disney
appear relatively small and in the center of the back. On the final version,
the respective company names appear larger and moved higher and lower than
the center of Pooh’s shirt. The photo isn’t great but is the best I can get
with lighting.

Thanks for looking.
