Flutter Ponies: Set Two

WING SONG (Pink with blue mane and tail, mobile symbol)	TROPICAL BREEZE (Blue with red mane and tail, flamingo symbol)

Flutter Ponies "Flutter Ponies bring good luck..." The second set of Flutter Ponies were more emphatic in every sense. The colours were more vibrant and Hasbro's new style of wing socket strengthened the wings (minimally) to at least allow them to be easily taken out and put back in (presumably for their own protection!). In terms of personality, the four of them had more here, too. Cloud Puff was the day dreamer and Wing Song the composer, while Tropical Breeze's factfile entry talks about her giving a helping hand by fluttering her wings and Wind Drifter...erm...liked windmills :P. Though all the documentation I can find suggests that the reissued ponies in the UK this year were 'Queen' Rosedust, and Morning Glory, (see insert scan below), here in the UK I have found Honeysuckle (right) and Forgetmenot (left) with second year wing sockets and wildly curly hair, leading me to suggest that maybe more flutters were continued whilst the new four were making their debut. My own memory is rather dim of the rest of the flutter ponies on sale when I bought my Tropical Breeze - I bought her with my birthday money when I was five, and though I'm sure that Rosedust was there, I sadly don't remember with any clarity who else was on sale. However, it's clear that all of the first and second set of flutter ponies were sold here. In the UK, even in 1987, ponies were still being sold with round puffy stickers, although the first set of Flutters in the United States had been sold with the new style flat stickers. I've always preferred the puffy stickers, in truth!! A commmon mistake is to call Wing Song 'Wind Song'. Dunno why, but there it is :) There were three other Flutter Ponies made - Yum Yum from the Party Gift Set, Pink Dreams from the Slumber Party Gift Set and Hollywood, the Mail Order pony.
