six Playsets (including two re-issues), one Accessory and
three Pony Wear sets.

"Cute and cuddly...Baby
Ponies feature Beddy-Bye eyes that open and shut when
you put your Baby to sleep. Each includes a diaper with
velcro fastener, ID necklace, pull toy, baby bottle, bib,

|
Baby Ponies

They also had eye lashes. In the UK they were called
Lullabye Eyes.
Each pony came with
one large accessory and a variety of small accessories.
They also came with a brush or comb, ribbon and
scented body sticker.

| Flutter Ponies |
|
"It's
easy to pretend your Flutter Ponies can fly...just
push a button and their iridescent wings flutter
gracefully. Each pony comes with a styling hairpick,
metallic ribbon and a scented body sticker."
Flutter Ponies were
smaller then the other ponies with long, thin legs
and extra long, curly hair. They had delicate iridescent
plastic wings that easily broke. The wings were
inserted into a shell shaped button on their backs
which when pressed made their wings move up and
down.
Each pony came with
a flower hair pick, metallic ribbon and scented
body sticker.

| Molly & Baby
Sundance |
"It's always a happy
day when Molly and Baby Sundance come to play. Molly is
fully dressed, with bendable legs to ride on Baby Sundance
or other baby ponies. Baby Sundance has Beddy-Bye eyes
that open and shut, bridle and ribbon. Brush and scented
body sticker also included."
|
In Year 4, Megan
was given a younger sister named Molly who came
with her own pony, Baby Sundance, who had Beddy-Bye
Eyes.
They came with a
bridle, brush, comb and body sticker that featured
them both.
Outside the US a
variation of Molly and Sundance was produced. Molly
wore a different dress and Baby Sundance was a First
Tooth baby pony. She also had a slightly
different symbol.
A prototype model
of Baby Sundance was produced with a First Tooth,
but this was never put into production. She was
only ever seen in a US promotional Hasbro booklet
and a TV advert for the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe. |

| Pretty 'n Pearly
Baby Sea Ponies |
 |
Pretty n' Pony Baby Sea Ponies had
shimmery bodies. Surf Rider and
Sea Shimmer returned from Year
3 along with four new charactures. They
had no symbols.
An alternative version of this set
was sold in the UK
which included the same four new characters but
instead of also including Surf Rider and Sea Shimmer
the UK set included Tiny Bubbles
and Sea Star instead (also returning
from Year 3).
Year 4 floats included two new shapes
(alligator and frog), as well as fish & turtle
from Year 3.
Each Baby Sea Pony came with a different
coloured whale shaped brush, and a round, scented
puffy sticker.

Non US Variations
The UK version had the same four new characters
as the US set but instead of Surf Rider and Sea Shimmer
the set included Tiny Bubbles
and Sea Star (returning from Year 3).

were in slightly different poses with their head facing
forward (rather than up).

| So Soft Ponies |
| "So
Soft Ponies love to snuggle up close. Their delicately-flocked
bodies feel so nice to touch. Straight-haired ponies come
with a hairbrush. Curly-haired ponies come with a comb.
Scented body sticker and ribbon come with all ponies."
|
So Soft Ponies
had flocked bodies with their symbols just visible
underneath. Year 4 had a total of twenty two ponies,
the most ever released in one set.
Outside of the US,
nine of the So Soft Ponies were also released without
the flocking. Shady, Buttons,
Wind Whistler, North Star,
Magic Star, and Gusty
were released in a set called something like "Moviestars",
all being featured in "My Little Pony: The Movie".
Truly, Paradise, and Cupcake
were also produced as non-So Soft versions, but were
not part of this set. None of the unicorns and pegasi
had glittery symbols as they had done previously.
All the So Soft Ponies
came with a brush or comb, ribbon, and scented body
sticker. |
| In the US they were released
in two goes, with sixteen in 1985 and six more added
in 1986: |

| Twinkle-Eyed Ponies |
|
"Twinkle
Eyed Ponies have lustrous eyes that sparkle like a
rainbow. Each comes with a rainbow comb for grooming
the lovely streaked hair, a ribbon and a scented body
sticker."
Twinkled-Eyed Ponies
had sparkly jewel-like eyes and four-shade multi-coloured
hair. There were nine Twinkle-Eyed Ponies released
in Year 4 and would be five more released in Year
5.
They all came with
a comb, ribbon and scented body sticker. |
In the US they were released in
two goes, with six in 1985 and three more added
in 1986. Sweet Pop was never released in the UK,
which also released the Twinkle Eyed Ponies in slightly
different groups during Year 5.
