Updated: Jul 26
CHARACTER(S): Blossom
YEAR OF PRODUCTION: 1983, 1984 (hoof says 1982)
(The hoof saying 1982 indicates that the Collector's Pose was copyrighted a year before the ponies were actually released)
PLACE OF PRODUCTION: Hong Kong
MANUFACTURING COMPANY: Hasbro
TYPICAL PRICE ONLINE: $5 - $15
IDK why she's sold for so cheap so often - she's one of the more cheaply priced ponies. Perhaps it has to do with her large number of variations, and the fact that her and Cotton Candy both got 2 large-scale releases
Of course, her flat-footed brushable tends to sell for a little higher due to the novelty and relative rarity as compared to her concave-hooved counterpart
OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:
Italian name: Lilla
Greek name: Lili
Spanish name (Argentina): Capullo
Spanish name (Spain): Perla
Portuguese name (Brazil): Florzinha dos Campos
Release Info
Released in Year 1 (1982-1983) - One of the original 6 brushables ever released under the MLP name. She came with a white comb and white ribbon
She was released again in Year 2 (1893-1984). This second release sold her with a white brush instead of a white comb
In Year 2, she was released as part of the second set of ponies - It wasn't a random continuation, but a full second edition release. This set also included Bubbles, Applejack, Bow Tie, Seashell, and Cotton Candy, who was also a re-release.
She was also sold as a mail order pony in Years 2 and 3 (possibly later as well), in a set marketed around the idea of being able to get the original 6 ponies again. The mail order pony came with a white comb.
Had a re-release for MLP's 25th anniversary
Other Info:
Has an unusually large amount of brushable variants & Nirvanas - over 45!
Early Year 1 releases have her as a flat footed pony, while she has concave hooves in her later/subsequent releases. As such, her flat footed edition is more highly coveted - It is rarer, and indicative of her being one of the first ever ponies!
There is a Baby Blossom!
Media: Blossom appears in some of the MLP picture books, much not much else.
Personality: Blossom is a gardener, hence the cutie mark. Her personality isn't super well established, but we know she likes gardening, especially flowers. I can only assume she's good friends with Posey!
Her 1st Edition US Backcard writes: My Little Pony is a pretty pony with long, shiny hair. She likes you to comb her hair so it stays silky and soft. You can braid her tail and tie it in a ribbon too!
Her 2nd Edition US Backcard writes: Blossom was happily digging in the garden. Many of her favorite plants were in bloom and she was proud of her colorful garden. “Hi, Blossom,” said Peachy. “I’ve brought you a present. The noonday sun is terribly bright so I thought you’d like this sun hat.” Blossom was overwhelmed with Peachy’s nice gift. She reached down into the garden and brought up a beautiful bouquet of flowers. “Thank you, Peachy,” she said. “I want you to have a present, too.”
Her UK Backcard writes: Blossom keeps busy digging in her beautiful garden - as well as chasing Cotton Candy out of it! The ponies say that all the colours of the rainbow are reflected in her lovely flowers.
