Flurry


Flurry was one of six new characters released in the Windy Wing pony set in 1989.  She was sold in the UK - and in other European countries - in the same style of pink box as was used in North America. The UK box may have had a UK stamp added to the bottom to denote the release, but I have never had a Windy Wing box so cannot be sure. In France and in German speaking countries, the boxes were translated into the respective languages. It is unknown whether they were sold in translated or English-import boxes in other parts of Europe, or how many European countries saw a release of this set. The boxed example below is probably from the UK on account of the style of hole punch on the top flap.

Flurry has fading pink hair, although not all versions of Flurry are susceptible to fading - some fade and some do not. The boxed example above has unfortunately faded - this is not a variation.



Flurry's Character

Flurry did make appearances in the My Little Pony comic, around 1989. Unsurprisingly, given her symbol and her name, she had an association with Winter. She was chosen to play the role of 'Pony Christmas' in one pony comic story, which meant she had to dress up in santa clothing and travel around Ponyland and surrounds delivering presents, not just to ponies but to other residents and friends, including a pair of giants!
