Brilliant Blossoms


Tassels was one of six carousel style ponies sold in the Merry-go-Round set. She was included in the four characters sold in the UK and Europe in 1990 and 1991. Instead of a symbol, her carousel cape was moulded onto her body. Brilliant Blossom's cape was themed in hearts and flowers. Her pose was modified to accommodate the cape. She was sold with a flower brush.

UK version (blue)  - 1990
(Note - I no longer own this pony, and am unsure whether the band in her mane was there from the start or someone added it in later).

In France and Spain, Brilliant Blossoms was sold in a bordered box in purple rather than in blue. Why..? I don't know. :)
