OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

  • Given a re-release for MLP's 25th anniversary in 2008 as part of the 3-pack set titled Original 1984 Collection, which also included re-releases for Sunlight and Windy

  • Given a second re-release in 2018 for MLP's 35th anniversary as part of Basic Fun's re-release of the Rainbow Ponies Set, along with Sunlight and Windy again, as well as Moonstone, Starshine, and Parasol. The latter 3 were also given a re-release together for the 25th Anniversary in a 3-pack

    • The Rainbow Ponies set had a release with 5 out of the 6 together (Sunlight was excluded), as well as individual releases in single packs for each pony in the set

  • She came with a green bow and a green brush. The bow she had for her original release was green, but she had a green comb instead of a brush.

  • Unlike with the original ponies, the bow is sewn on - attached to the pony herself

  • The 35th Anniversary Rainbow Pony re-releases are all scented, and as a result some have discoloration issues

  • To tell if a pony is a genuine G1, or a Retro re-release, you can look at the date on their hooves. A notable difference between the two will also be the texture of the plastic - vintage G1's are made of a more rubbery-feeling plastic, whereas the Retro re-releases are made of a more solid, hard plastic.

Comments

This website is purely for educational/archival purposes. I do not own the rights to My Little Pony, and most photos on this site are not my own. I provide image sources if the source is still available online, but there are far too many photos for me to ask each person for permission (and some are from users who are inactive or not possible to contact -- i.e., from sites like Worthpoint) - The whole point of the site is collecting as many photos as possible. I try to ask permission on social media or forums that I'm active on, especially if I'm using a lot of photos from one person. If you own one of the photos on this site and do not want it here, message me and I will remove it. This isn't meant to take credit from or upset anyone; It is just for fun and to help record the existence of these toys. If you are made uncomfortable by me using your photos, I will remove them for you.
