Family
Friends & Family Babies The Family Friends and Family Babies were a development in some
ways of the original Loving Family Babies. Hasbro UK's list also labels them
Rainbow Families, though it does not appear that they were ever marketed
under this name. This time the parents had identical hair and body colours
in such a design that the colours ran horizontally rather than vertically.
The Daddy ponies all stood in a feminine pose, and the babies reflected also
the same identical colour schemes. Each pony had a different symbol, however.
Although featured briefly in TV episodes, these families were often misrepresented
in name and/or in the number of members and it was only when they appeared
in UK comics that they were given their real names - Sunbright, Berrytown
and Meadowsweet. In advertising material Baby Berrytown was shown in the
wrong pose. The fathers for these families are among some of the hardest UK/European
issue ponies to find.
