Hip Hop

Hip Hop was one of two new characters who were introduced and sold in the Rollerskates Pony set in the UK and Europe in 1993 and 1994. This was the only version ever made of this pony.

The Rollerskates ponies came with no comb or brush, but instead had a unique CD headset with a ribbon belt, and a pair of red glasses. The glasses are the same between each pony in the set, but the headsets are different colours between the ponies and Hip Hop's was orange with a dark pink ribbon - the pony's original one is shown above.

Hip Hop's Character

Hip Hop never appeared in the animation or the UK comic proper, but she did appear in a poster magazine available in the UK in 1994. This contained two stories, one of which was a comic strip, in which she, Jazzie and Melody went out skating and almost made Melody miss a performance, and another text story, in which the three ponies, along with Starlight, auditioned at the roller rink for roles in a musical. Because of her skills, Hip Hop got one of the starring roles.
