1985: Rainbow Ponies
CONFETTI
White earth pony with melon/pink/blue/neon yellow mane and tail, glittering purple and green confetti symbol
Confetti has the most complicated release plan of any of the second set Rainbow Ponies. I'm still somewhat confused by the fact that, despite designing a pony in white with confetti for a name and symbol, Hasbro in North America seemed to make absolutely no connection between this and the idea of a bride.
Well, not so the UK - and, so it happened, Europe in general. Confetti was sold in the United Kingdom, but in a completely different pose from the one shown above (the one pictured at the top of the page is the North American release from 1985)
"Wedding Bells" Confetti was made in the Bow Tie "shy" pose, and dressed out in her finest white dress, with veil, white shoes, ring and lacy garter to show that it was her special day. It seems not to have been important to Hasbro that, as yet, they had not bothered to release an adult boy pony (and indeed, Confetti never would have a groom. Poor girl!)
