Party Gift Set
A little bit of the year's best

The Party Gift set
(1986 insert, North America)
The Greatest Hits of 1986 - with cake
In 1986, Hasbro decided to bundle together some of the themes of
the year into one big gift pack. What the mindset behind this was
is unclear - what was being celebrated is unknown - but it may
have simply been intended as an all in one starter My Little Pony
kit. Whatever the mindset, the Party Gift Pack included five
ponies who were not just in different poses, but were from
completely different styles and sets. The collection included a
Twinkle Eye, a flutter, a pearly baby sea pony, a so soft and a
beddy bye eye baby. None of these were sold in sets outside of the
Party Gift Pack, and all of them had names and (where applicable)
symbols that supported the party theme. This set was sold in North
America. It is unclear whether it was sold in other places. The
accessories shown in the above insert picture are more or less
correct for the set.

This set was not sold in the UK - although many of the accessories
(with some amendments) were released over here in 1987, along with
Tutti Frutti,
the Birthday Pony. Notable exceptions include the pin the tail on
the pony board - the Party Gift Set version featured Party Time.
