Summer Wing Pony Little Flitter

Little Flitter was one of six small butterfly ponies introduced as part of the Summer Wing set in 1988. Although the size of a baby pony, she is actually meant to be an adult, just built on a miniature scale. Unlike the flutter ponies, Summer Wing ponies had static wings, which were made of one piece of plastic held down by a square stopper in the middle of the back.

Little Flitter was sold in the UK and in North America in the same style of box. Italy was an outlier, as the box there was blue. In other places it seems to have been yellow. 

Summer Wing Ponies came with metallic ribbons and flower picks, like the Flutter Ponies, but the centres of the flower pick flowers were not coloured.

Little Flitter's hair is fading pink, and fades VERY easily, even if not exposed to sunlight.




Little Flitter's Character

Little Flitter appeared in the pony comic on a few occasions, sometimes with her hair coloured pink and sometimes in white (as if even the comic people weren't sure what her colour was meant to be!) She appeared with Glow in a story helping Skyflier restore some stolen colours taken by the Colour Queen.
