Ponies Sold in 1983 in the UK The Collector Ponies (Flat Footed).
Possibly mingled in with The Collector Ponies (Concave Footed), but this is a bit more grainy and evidence is sketchy as to how this really worked. The Grooming Parlour (With Peachy) also came out in the UK in around 1983.

Minty in the United Kingdom

Not much is known about Minty's original flat foot release in the United Kingdom. It was probably by import in late 1983, but there is not much of a paper trail relating to this set. What does seem to be for sure is that this version was sold more widely in the UK, based on the fact it is easier to find Minty with flat feet than with concave.

Minty was updated to the new pose sometime in 1983.



Minty's Character

Minty was an obscure pony in the UK, to the point that when the Fact File came out in 1987, she was depicted in the wrong colour - purple instead of green!

Minty's name went on to be widely used in Generation Three, and has also made an appearance in Generation Four, although the latter bears more resemblance to her G3 predecessor than her G4 one. Ironically G3 Minty has more of a known character than the original Minty, whose release here remains somewhat a mystery.
