My Little Pony itself appears to have begun in the summer of
1982. Originating in the USA, the first six little ponies were of one mould
and with simple, basic colour schemes. They also had a distinctive style of hoof not found on any other My Little Pony to follow, nor on any of their own reissues, although there is an existing version of Peachy (peach with pink mane and tail, hearts) sold with Flat Feet, presumably from one of the earliest Pretty/Grooming Parlour sets :) . There is debate about the reissue dates of these ponies. In America they apparently all were released as mail orders in 1986, whilst only Cotton Candy and Blossom were repeat issues in the next year. However in the United Kingdom all six seem to have been sold with both foot styles in stores. Also in the UK, Butterscotch was issued with the Pony Gymkhana Many thanks to Garej for the use of the Argos catalogue photograph of Butterscotch and the Gymkhana (below)!! |
