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
