Melody

Melody was one of the characters from the core Seven Character set which were released in the UK and in Europe in 1993. She was also sold in this more adventurous 'Rollerskates' edition in the same year. She had a streak of colour in her mane and now wore a set of moulded on rollerskates, fitted with a pull back motor that allowed her to actually 'skate'.

These 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 Melody's was blue with a purple ribbon - my pony's original one is shown above.

Melody's Character

Melody featured excessively in the later comics and the My Little Pony Tales animated series, although she was never drawn or animated with the coloured streak in her hair. Although drawn with the yellow streak on the cover of the poster magazine featuring the Rollerskates Ponies, Melody was still drawn in the internal comic strip with her usual Seven Character blue hair.
