OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

First released in Year 1 (1982-early 1983) - One of the original 6 brushables ever released under the MLP name. She came with a purple comb and purple ribbon
- Early Year 1 releases are flat-footed, while later ones are concave, and all future releases are concave
Released again in Year 2 (1983-early 1984)
- In Year 2 she was sold in stores, and in Year 3 (1984- early 1985) she was sold as a mail order pony.
All three versions came with a pink ribbon and pink comb
In 1984, in Europe only, she was sold in a set called "Gymkhana", which re-used accessories from the Show Stable
- Gymkhana Butterscotch often had a lighter-colored cutie mark
The Mail Order version of her has a paler-toned body more golden-toned hair
Had a full re-release for MLP's 35th anniversary
Butterscotch has a G3 iteration
As a young teen I pretended my Butterscotch figure was a boy to make me feel better about being a guy who likes My Little Ponies
For some reason people use the name Butterscotch for "gender bent" G4 Fluttershy, which unfortunately may be the reason I associated butterscotch with masculinity.
- If you look up MLP Butterscotch online and see a yellow and pink G4 stallion that is a LIE. He's not real.
