This Set MIP Some of the most misrepresented
ponies in the whole of ponyland, three of the four Romance ponies actually
sold looked nothing like their pictures in the advert, and one even had
a different pose (see bottom of page). Love Letter and Love Story swapped
hair colours from their original advert and only Love Token maintained the
same looks. (Please note that Love Token's hair is meant to be WHITE and
not pink as has been suggested.) All of them were popular in the 1992 MLP
comics and on Valentines Day a special card featuring Love-In-A-Mist was
issued free with that edition.
These girls are one of those sets which come with the cool long handled combs which are so good for styling :D. The Romance Ponies were never sold in North America. Some weird rumour has circulated about these being sold at some point with stickers. Let me clarify - the Romance Ponies were *not* sold with stickers. My sister and I had Love Token, Love Story and Love Letter new and I still have their cards, which clearly state that the package includes pony, comb and ribbon! |
