Ponies Sold in 1983 in the UK The Collector Ponies (Flat Footed).
Possibly mingled in with The Collector Ponies (Concave Footed), but this is a bit more grainy and evidence is sketchy as to how this really worked. The Grooming Parlour (With Peachy) also came out in the UK in around 1983.

Bluebelle in the United Kingdom

Not much is known about Bluebelle's original flat foot release in the United Kingdom. It was probably by import in late 1983, but there is not much of a paper trail relating to this set. In contrast, much more information is available for how the later Concave Foot version of this pony was sold, even though she remained an obscure character in the early line.

Bluebelle was updated to the new pose sometime in 1983-4.



Bluebelle's Character

Bluebelle's character was a bit obscure in the UK, and she never appeared in any pony stories. She was included in the Fact File, but was illustrated with pink hair, rather than purple, and her name was spelt without the last 'e'. It is not clear whether this was an alternative UK spelling or a mistake.
