Adventure Boy/Big Brother Ponies This Set MIP Known as 'Adventure Boy' Ponies here on the insert and Hasbro list of 1987, the first set of Big Brother Ponies in the UK came out a bare few months before the highly sought after Mountain Boy Ponies' debut in the autumn. It's a fact that no other country in the world had quite as many adult boy ponies sold as the UK (and consequently any country who followed to any degree the UK issue program). It's probably clear that there were name variances with Big Brother Ponies between the UK and the USA, even to the extent of the set name (though the next year's issue would see the UK adopt the term Big Brother Pony also, hence my use of it here). Tracks, Tug, Trucker and First Base were known in the States as Steamer, Salty, 4-Speed and Slugger respectively, creating intense confusion for British kids watching Somnambula (see capture above!). As soon as my sister finds Tracks' and Trucker's accessories, I'll retake their pictures...:-/ Tracks should have a purple train driver's hat, whilst Trucker has a yellow construction worker hat and a dark purple bandana, as you can see from the screen capture :)
