OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:
Released in Year 1 (1982-1983) and Year 2 (1983-1984) with the Pretty Parlor Play Set
Her original set was released early enough that there is a flat foot variant of her! This is despite her not technically being released with the original 6 ponies - She's still a Flat Foot pony!
Included with the Pretty Parlor Play Set is Peachy's best friend, Twinkles the Cat!
Peachy had a re-release for MLP's 35th anniversary, along with the Pretty Parlor Play Set (and Twinkles!)
Accessories
Peachy's Pretty Parlor accessories were...
A pink heart-shaped brush & pink comb
Two hats, a pink blanket, a yellow hair ribbon, and a green hair ribbon.
A carrier basket to put Twinkles in & a basket strap so that Peachy could carry Twinkle's basket + a saddle & a bridle with reins
Other Info
Peachy has a lot of variations between brushables - not just Nirvana variants, but small differences between standard production ponies.
Peachy was produced in very large numbers, and is considered to be one of the easiest G1 ponies to find, if not the easiest. This even goes for Nirvanas - Peachy Nirvanas tend to be easier to find than Nirvanas of other ponies from the same place. They just made a lot of Peachys!
The Pretty Parlor Playset was produced for multiple years, which is likely part of this.
It seems that Peachy was sort of used as a "test pony", with lots of small variations in molds, printing, painting, and colors, indicating that she was subject to a lot of Hasbro's changing of decisions when trying to figure out how they wanted MLPs to look
Peachy's design was taken directly from that of the second My Pretty Pony produced. The My Pretty Ponies were the precursor to MLP. Peachy is the only My Pretty Pony who's design got transferred to My Little Pony. In a way, this sort of makes her the "first" MLP, depending on how you look at it.
Media:
Peachy does not appear in any animated media, but she's pretty frequently apart of the comics and picture books
The Pretty Parlor appears in the G1 MLP Comics. It runs like an actual parlor, and peachy owns it - She does the other ponies hair and makes outfits for them!
Personality: Peachy runs the Pretty Parlor - She helps the other ponies clean up and dress up! She's a friendly, happy, and generous pony, who's always there to help. Most importantly, she's a major cat person! Her best friend in the whole world is Twinkles, the talking cat!
She doesn't have a backcard, but the Pretty Parlor comes with a paper that reads: Peachy was adjusting her straw hat in the Pretty Parlor mirror when she saw it was five minutes before the hour. "It´s almost time!" she told her pet kitty Twinkles. As she hooked up her bridle and saddle, Peachy offered Twinkles a ride. "We don´t want to be late for today´s tea party!" Quickly, Twinkles jumped on Peachy's back and they scurried out the door. "Don´t forget the flowers," reminded a mysterious voice. "Who said that?" Twinkles wondered. Looking towards the parlor, they heard the voice again. "I said it. Me, the magical mirror! I didn´t see you take the flowers, Peachy." "Can mirrors really see things?" Peachy asked excitedly. "Oh yes. Mirrors can see people as clearly as people can see mirrors. Hurry now, or you´ll be late." Peachy grabbed the bouquet of flowers as Twinkles waved good-bye to the magical mirror. Peachy could hardly wait to tell her friends at the tea party all about the talking mirror. Afterwards, Peachy invited everyone to freshen up in the Pretty Parlor and talk to the magical mirror!
Her UK Fact File says: Peachy is the very friendliest of ponies who always has a smile for her friends, especially for her best friend Twinkles the cat. She is cheerful whether is rains or shines.
