Holy crap I just realized there might be a more logical reason for g1 Minty

Here's the old thread about proto-Bluebelle.

I think the art for the collector ponies depicts all of them with CC's symbol, too.

Thank you!  That's the thread I was thinking of, but couldn't manage to pull up searching for the life of me.  That's what I get for trying 'prototype' instead of 'first shot'.

(drooling) Mmmmnn...shamrock shakes! The very thing I look forward to every March!

Just one more reason to like Minty. ;)
