Her symbols are not like scandinavian gusty in shape.  Her stems have an arced curve where scandi gustys are usually straight. I remember we did the photo comparisons in the old thread. However the symbol color looks to be a dead match to scandi gusty.

I dont understand why she couldnt have been at a gathering in the UK in the  late 90s and she said they had other toys there than just my little pony.  I had a follow up conversation with her and it wasnt an massive gathering. She said it was a small group of 25 people. I remember going to such gatherings myself in the 90s that were a small group of peoplr getting together. So the story doesnt sound so unplausabld to me.

I know several arena members have reverse gusty. Yes babydoll has one too.
I just know of the original two confirmed ones were wolfchick and delaneys. and then there are like 3 others that members have found. So maybe 5 total on the arena.

Still waiting to hear back from that catalogue collector PKW

I want to clarify i did not say these prototypes were actually from the UK - only that these ponys were found there. Please reference my earlier post.  So the UK might have served as a type of headquarters for international releases. This is my hypothesis.

That would be awesome if anyone had a scandinavian catalogue

There were originally two confirmed reverse gustys that were found in the late 1990s. The first confirmed one was found by wolfchick in a Uk pony lot. We know the uk was a dumping ground for prototypes so that may explain how she got there.

Wolfchick sold her to brickhaven who sold her to Stormy who sold her to
Sarahbee who sold her to me. So she has been extremely well documented and had some famous owners in the collecting world. I believe she was also shown at ponycon.

The second one was found in the late 90s as well by the delaneys. I believe a member here now owns her.

I have the wonder woman and the star riders pegasus promotional prototypes in my prototype collection. They were sold by a former mattel employee who was the designer of the horses.  They were made by Mattel in 1991 and the line was never produced. However a very limited run of them (for the pegasi two of each since their metallic finish was expensive for the factory to make) were made and were taken to toy fairs and promotional meetings to promote and gain financial support for the line. Catalogue photos were also made with the prototypes and Mattels 1992 catalogue feature 6 pages promoting the line including photos of the pegasi. The line didnt get the support it needed sadly and they canceled it. The official review was that investors did not think girls wanted to play with dolls that fight. What a pity- There was even a tv series suppose to be made.

Anyways. Thats what i think the cotton candy symbol flat foots were. An initial run of Promotional prototype releases that were given to employees to take to toy fairs and promotional meetings to promote the launch of the line.   Note they also appear in catalogue photos and the MOC one was sold by a former employee.

If anyones curious here are the pegasi protos

I have counted 12 so the 10-20 mark is very accurate.
