The final photographs were a disaster. No one had anticipated the inappropriateness of male body hair. Photoshop hadn’t been invented, yet, to shave his legs digitally, and airbrushing would have been more expensive than taking the shot over again. So Bill looked for another model willing to use Nair. When that search proved unsuccessful he came up with a solution that has remained a secret till this day. He posed the shot with a young girl instead. A multitude of little girls, and David too, never knew they were dressing and undressing a prepubescent young lady with David Cassidy’s head.
But in any case this proves that Hasbro toyed (heh) with the idea of having a CP Sundance.

The picture definitely speaks in favor of an existing sundance prototype. It would have been good if we could find a bigger version though. I know if it had been me who found the tiny picture online I would be all over it. I would have tried to contact the person who posted it and asked politely if they know anything about it, if they have the source, if they would be willing to scan it and so on. But the people who found it don't seem to be interested in doing that, and I'm not sure why as a better quality picture could be in favor of ember's pony. I don't think anyone wants ember's pony to be fake, everyone wants the pony to be genuine. Everyone will be happy if/when it has been confirmed. It's just the rush to make a verdict that isn't good.There have been so many ponies where it took a long time before we knew what they were. There was a picture of a pegasus (venezuela Medley? I think) that was floating around for years. It was exciting to hear peoples thoughts about it back then.I also remember when the piggy ponies surfaced. I was one of the people who believed they were real from the start. Then there were some people who refused to believe they were real, even when several mocs had been found and people found information about the production and such. So they were definitely debated. But I don't remember anyone trying to pick a fight over it or bullying someone because they had a different opinion.The people who didn't think the piggies were real, I'm guessing they changed their mind eventually. And if they didn't, that's their problem. It isn't something to pick a fight over. Reading the comments about uk catalogs here I realized I have one of those too. I don't remember seeing anything extraordinary like this when I bought it, but I will get it out of storage and have a look just in case.
It looks like both Ember and Tootie are feeling bullied. I don't think anyone has a problem with different people having different opinions, I think the issue is that it feels like this pony is getting more scrutiny than others. For example, it's been rejected for the nirvana gallery pending proof it's real, yet other ponies that could be disputed are included like white windy who many collectors are not convinced of yet.Maybe we need some kind of minimum standards for the community to list a pony as a accepted variant. It wouldn't mean every collector needs to agree it's legitimate, but it could help avoid the current situation.

And now we can all help out to continue to look for the origin of the catalogue, because that is fun!
