Twinkle Eye Ponies The last set of Twinkle Eye ponies too this year. Along with Speedy, these six ponies were the set for 1987
on American store shelves, and, in what seems to be something of a pattern,
are often more sought after (with the possible exception of Locket). This
seems to be something to do with the colourschemes of the ponies, since
pink ponies were produced in greater quantity. Locket was the only one
of these girls to become a tv series regular, appearing in the Magic Coins,
among others, however Mimic did make an on screen foray also in Quest for
the Golden Horseshoes (See capture).
Locket and Tic TacToe, plus Speedy, Sky Rocket and two ponies
from the first six (Fizzy and Sweetie) made up the UK issue this year,
since Mimic, Bright Eyes and Quackers were not sold here (See insert scan,
below). It seems that this set was an amalgamation of America's three issues
of the Twinkle Eye set.
