My Little Pony :: Ponies ~ Year 4 [1985 - 1986]

Year 4 ~ Contents

Baby Ponies [German set]

These ponies were only sold in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Baby Cotton Candy from Year 3's Baby Ponies set was included in this set along with four exclusive new baby ponies and one which was also released in the UK (Baby Lemon Drop, c/w Baby Pony Stroller) but posed differently.

Each pony came with a bottle, teddy bear brush and a ribbon.

Baby Ponies with Beddy-Bye Eyes [+ Brazilian variations]

"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, and also had eye lashes.

This set was not sold in the UK, but four of these ponies were also released with regular eye as part of the Baby Ponies Play and Care set in UK. Baby Lickety-Split was also released as part of Year 5's Baby Ponies with First Tooth set.

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.

Brazilian Variations

Brazil had two variations of the BBE ponies, both with regular eyes. I don't know what accessories they came with or in what set but do know Brazil only ever had five baby ponies released (the other three being Baby Cotton Candy, Baby Cuddles and Baby Tiddlywinks) so maybe they were sold as a set.

Baby Pony Play & Care [UK Set]

Baby Pony Play & Care set was the UK's alternative to the US's Beddy-Bye Eyes set. It included four af the same characters but all had regular eyes. Baby Lickety-Split was also released as part of Year 5's Baby Ponies with First Tooth set.

All accessories remained the same as the BBE set (see above) except wherever the word diaper appeared it now read Nappie or Snugfit.

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. A second set of Flutter Ponies was released in Year 5 and two differently designed winged ponies were released in Years 6 and 7.

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. They were not sold in the UK.

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 in this body type.

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 (both returning from Year 3). Ripple, Sunshower and Water Lily were in slightly different poses with their head facing forward (rather than up), so only Beachcomber remained the same as the US set.

So Soft Ponies [+ UK/Euro & other unflocked sets]

"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. Some were old characters but many were new. In the US they were released in two goes, with sixteen in 1985 and six more added in 1986.

They were not sold in the UK but instead nine were released without flocking in their own set simply called Ponies in the UK and Movie Stars in Europe, and four more were also released unflocked in a select few countries too in various other sets (see further down for details).

Each pony came with a brush or comb, ribbon, and scented body sticker.

None of the unicorns and pegasi had glittery symbols as they had done previously. There was also two symbol versions of Buttons released at the same time in the UK and Magic Star changed pose.
