Not much is known about Cotton Candy'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 the
later Concave Foot version of
this pony, who became one of the well known favourite characters
of the early G1 pony line.
Cotton Candy had one of the more distinctive characters in the
early UK stories, although these attributes all applied to the
concave foot version definitively available by 1984. The North
American backcard featured her eating flowers belonging to her
friend Blossom, and this sweet
tooth for petals also manifested in UK stories. She also had
another responsibility, however - as the first Ponyland 'nurse'
character. This characterisation is unique to the UK comic.
