Pretty & Pearly Baby Sea Ponies
The UK Issue Set MIP

The Pearly Baby Sea Ponies were sold on both sides of the atlantic but in startlingly different forms. Please note that the Beachcomber pictured with both sets is the same pony, basically since Beachcomber is the only pony who is not somehow different between the two issues.
The variation stems from one thing - which two of the first year of Baby Sea Ponies were reissued in pearly form. In the UK it was Tiny Bubbles and Sea Star, in the US it was Surf Rider and Sea Shimmer. The US baby sea pony line also introduced a new 'looking up' pose for three of their new ponies, whereas the UK versions kept older poses. Yes, very confusing!
Each baby sea pony is shown with her correct float.

Aside from these girls, there was one other pearly Baby Sea Pony, called "Celebrate", who was part of the Party Gift Set.
