1987: My Little Pony

TRULY

White earth pony with dark pink mane and tail, dove and olive branch symbol

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a whole lot about Truly in her not-so-furry incarnation. I know she was sold in Scandinavia and South Africa for sure, as part of a set including Cupcake, Hopscotch, Shady, Posey and Cherries Jubilee. She was sold on a UK style of card but never actually issued in the UK. Unlike Magic Star, this Truly kept the rearing pose that her so soft cousin favoured. Presumably she was also sold with a stand, though I don't know for sure.

As far as I know, there is little difference between Cupcake the So Soft and the other, barring fur. But as I don't have a genuine original Cupcake, I can't be sure. No version of Cupcake was ever sold in the UK through official channels.

SO SOFT TRULY(1985-6)

Truly's cartoon incarnation was somewhat bordering on the humorous. She spoke with a beautiful southern drawl, marking her out immediately from the pack. Headstrong and something of a featherbrain at times, Truly was often in the TV show. Why she was called Truly, however, remains a mystery ^_^.
