Adult Sea Ponies: Second Set (North America)

The second set of adult Sea Ponies were released somewhere around 1985 in North America. There is a weird thing with this set in that they seem to have been distributed heavily in Canada, although they are not common in either regions. When they are found, they are often in poor condition. White Cap and Sea Mist are especially prone to nasty discolouration, which unfortunately you will see on their pages here.

While the first set of Adult Sea Ponies in both North American and UK iterations are relatively common second hand, this set are just problems. Their shells are very hard to find. Their stickers are literally like gold dust. I have only ever seen photos. Their boxes are not that common either. I was lucky enough to get High Tide with hers but they don't come up often. And, of course, they were not sold in the UK.

The set introduced one new adult sea pony pose, 'looking up',  which was featured on three of the six. The other three had the regular old pose, but each had a streak of colour in her hair to compensate. They appeared in the animated special, Escape from Catrina.

The weird thing about this set is that four of them were included in the Fact File, which suggests Hasbro at least thought about a release here. The two who do not appear are High Tide and Sand Dollar (which is ironic, as I picked Sand Dollar up here at a UK carboot sale...still don't quite know how that happened but I'm not complaining, she's my favourite ;)

Sea Mist and White Cap also made a very late appearance in the Pony Comic here in the UK, long after adult Sea Ponies were no longer a thing. That appearance is mysterious but probably just came from writers or artists delving into past promotional material, rather than an intended release.

Please note that on all pages Wave Jumper is not featured in her own shell. I don't have it. She lives in a spare Sealight shell for convenience, but it is NOT the same colour as hers, which is a much lighter green clam, as depicted on the box image, above.
