Medley in North America

Medley was sold twice in the North American pony release. She was first issued in 1984, as one of the very first pegasus ponies, and then rereleased in 1985 with the updated version of the same set. This time she had curly hair.

First Edition Medley

The original version of Medley came with a shooting star brush, matching ribbon and puffy sticker. She was the only pony from the original unicorn and pegasus set whose theme was not space or weather related, but her personality and skillset (see below) covered this gap.

Medley was depicted on her card with straight hair. This would be updated the next year.

Medley in the United Kingdom

Medley was not sold in the United Kingdom, although she featured heavily in early pony comics and merchandise over here.

Medley in Other Places

Medley also had some diverse releases in other places, including a white/cream version with blue hair in Peru (and a matching baby) and a yellow version in Greece.




Medley's Character

Medley appeared as a supporting character in the original pony special, Rescue at Midnight Castle, but her personality was largely overshadowed by Firefly's antics. In the comics, Medley and Firefly did interact - with Firefly usually doing daft things, and Medley sometimes needing to rescue her.

(My Little Pony Comic, UK)


Medley was smart, pretty sensible, and talented. She was known for being able to create music - sometimes literally and sometimes with magic. Different versions of her biography mention her being able to create thunder by drumming her hooves on the clouds, and that when she waved her tail, pretty harp music appeared.
