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

Minty is the true mystery of the Collector Pony set, and at time of writing no clearcut means by which the Concave hoof version of the pony was sold in the Uk has come to light. She is also a lot less common here than her set companions, making it possible that she did not see a proper official UK release at all.
It is equally possible that some Concave Foot Mintys were sold here at the point where Hasbro altered the moulds, but that, unlike the other characters, she did not see a subsequent later release.

I am still looking for information about Minty in the UK.

In North America, this version of Minty was offered via Mail Order through the early 1980s.


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.
