WOW this topic is more and more interesting!! it is like we work for the police and we are searching for information about what happened... Ember: I love your pics: I also love a lot how you have accesoired her so cute!!
So, this is going a bit off topic, but seeing the close up of Paintingtime made me think of something. I've been doing the 1991 pages for the Scrapbook lately, and I've been doing the Schooltime pony pages today...so that's why this has dawned on me now.I realise this is a bit off topic from Sundance, but it just struck me suddenly.http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/schooltimeinsert.jpgTHis is the UK insert for the Schooltime Ponies from 1990-1. I always thought they looked a mite weird in this photo, especially their eyes. Now, the symbol on this one looks more edged than yours, Ember, so I may be well off base, but I wonder if that's the basis for the painted ponies? If not for this image, then for something else. TV commercial, maybe? If that's the case, though, it makes it less likely that Sundance relates to the UK since, if Hasbro UK painted pony bodies as idea bases, they wouldn't have made Sundance. There are no white CP ponies in Hasbro UK's catalogue for the entire of the MLP release range, since there are no Birthflower Ponies over here. They wouldn't have had any white bodies to work with, so they would've probably needed to paint a Peachy or someone to make a proto-Sundance, and, with her being such a success in the US and the UK in the first year, I don't really think they'd go to the trouble of trying. If she is a test model, she must come originally from somewhere else. Even if she took a trip here at some point I still think there are more questions than answers where she is concerned, though this whole discussion is still really interesting. And, as I said, the whole Schooltime pony thing...just occured to me.Sorry for the quality of the image. My scanner is dead so I'm having to use my camera, which hates me at the moment.
