original backcard art. The boxes for the reissue set are identical save for the name on the front, so sadly there is no short story about Skydancer like there is on the vintage card.
Aaaand DeviantArt decided to go into read-only mode while I was composing this, so the rest will just be links for now. I'll embed them when I can actually resize them.

And now for some shots of the art on the insert:

Notably, all three Rainbow Ponies featured are in the exact same pose as the back-of-box art of them.
Now for a few questions. First, is this reproduced vintage artwork or an anniversary-original piece?
Second, do you think and/or hope the presence of Sprinkles, Brandy, and the Sea Ponies heralds reissues of the Waterfall, the Show Stable, and the Year 2 Sea Pony set?
Third, if the Waterfall
is reissued, do you think Sprinkles will be in her prototype colors as pictured here? Or in pink like her production toy? Which would you prefer?
