1989: Baby Ponies & Pretty Pals

BABY POCKETS & BABY HOPPY

BABY POCKETS


BABY HOPPY

BABY POCKETS: Aqua baby pegasus with pink mane and tail, pink and orange fabric pockets symbol
BABY HOPPY: Pink baby kangaroo with aqua tuft of hair, aqua and orange fabric pockets

Bringing an Aussie flavour to Ponyland, Hoppy and Pockets were designed on the 'pockety' theme - presumably a play on the kangaroo pouch. (What? I don't pretend to know how Hasbro's design team were thinking!)

Like with the Newborn Twins of earlier years, these sets tended to have reversed colour schemes, with the pony having the same colour body as the friend did hair and vice versa.
