Year 4 Ponies

Year 4 had five sets of ponies plus a new Megan & Sundance and the introduction of Molly & Baby Sundance. There were also several non US variations. There was one set of Special Offer Ponies, six Playsets (including two re-issues), one Accessory and three Pony Wear sets.

Baby Ponies with Beddy-Bye Eyes [UK name "Lullabye Eyes"]

"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, bird comb, ribbon and scented body sticker."

Baby Ponies with Beddy-Bye Eyes had eyes which opened and closed. 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.

Baby Heart Throb, Baby Gusty, Baby Lickety-Split, and Baby Ribbon were also released with regular eye outside the US.

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.

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:

Non US Variations

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 "Moviestars - Vedettes from the Film", 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 and were only sold in Sweden or Mexico as far as I know. None of the unicorns and pegasi had glittery symbols as they had done previously.

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.
