OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:

  • Truly was a So Soft Pony from Year 4 (1984-1985)

  • In the US she only ever had a So Soft release, but she had unflocked releases in Brazil, Argentina, the UK, and Scandinavia (and potentially South Africa?)

    • Only the UK & Scandinavian one (which were the same) used her original pose and design in its entirety minus flocking

    • This is the Scandinavian/UK variation of Truly

  • The UK (& presumably Scandinavia as well?) also sold the regular, flocked versions of the Year 4 So Soft Ponies - They just had unflocked versions as well

    • The unflocked versions were sold in a set called Pony Friends, which contained all the Year 4 So Soft Ponies just unflocked

    • The Pony Friends set is sometimes nicknamed the "Not So Soft" set (NSS)

    • According to this Tumblr post the Pony Friends line was also sold in South Africa, although I haven't seen this corroborated on any toy sites

    • Edit: Ghost of The Doll says she was sold in South Africa!

  • NSS Truly had the same blue ribbon and blue comb as her So Soft counterpart

  • Truly appeared in the G1 MLP TV Show

  • Truly was the first pony to use the rearing pose

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 - 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.
