My Little
Pony (aka G1 or 1st Generation) were originally
produced by Hasbro for twelve years from 1982 to
1994, with the last two years only being sold in
UK/Europe, making them very collectable to US buyers.
There were literally hundreds (if not thousands!)
of ponies produced, as well as ample playsets and
other pony accessories. The series re-emerged in
1997-99 (G2) with new look ponies, then again in
2003 to present day (G3) with another design over-hall.
The only ponies listed here are the G1 line.
MLP items are grouped
by production year and divided into Ponies,
Special Offer Ponies and Accessories
& Playsets. I have noted were ponies
& playsets were (or weren't) produced for the
UK as best possible, plus added
in as many Euro/other variations as I can find.
Related lines such
as Dream Beauties and Li'l
Litter will be found in their own sections.
A
huge thanks to Renee for all the
pamphlet scans and to everyone else who has helped
with images!

Earth
Ponies saw Blossom
and Cotton Candy make a
return from Year 1's Original Ponies,
now with concave feet.
Bubbles and Seashell
were the only two general release ponies
ever made in a seated position. They are
also the only two ponies to have a diamond
symbol on their noses.
Applejack
and Bow Tie made a return
in Year 3's new set of Earth Ponies
and three of this years ponies were also
produced as Plush Ponies.
Each
pony came with a flower shaped brush, a
ribbon and a round scented puffy sticker
with their picture on it.
There were
several non US variations of
these characters released as various times.

Ponies [+ UK/Euro variations] |
There
were three sets of Plush Ponies
produced, each containing three ponies - Plush
Earth Ponies, Plush Rainbow Ponies
and Plush Unicorns & Pegasi.
They were about 12 inches tall. There were also
a few variations in pose but I'm not sure which
countries they were produced for. Plush Ponies would
return again in Year's 3 and 4.

Ponies [+ UK set] |

Sea
Ponies each came with a shell they
could sit in that stuck onto the bath via
a suction cup. Sea Ponies returned again
for the second and only time in Year 3 with
six new characters and new design shells.
Year 3 also saw the first Baby Sea
Ponies, which took over from the
adult version.
An
alternative set was sold in the UK,
where Wavedancer was joined by
two new Sea Ponies and their shell colours
differed.
Each
pony also came with a shell shaped brush,
a ribbon and a round scented puffy sticker
with their picture on it.
