Morning Glory in the United Kingdom

Morning Glory was sold across two years in the UK, as well as on a more global scale. She was a well-known flutter pony and is common second hand (usually without wings). Her hair is usually curly, and it is common to find loose ones in the wild with messy and unmanageable hair. She is an outlier in the first set, bucking the trend of pastel shades with her bright neon mane and tail.

Although the basic pony and accessories were the same across her releases, the UK release also had a round, puffy sticker which seems to be unique to this country. She was sold in a box that featured Lily and Rosedust on the front. Her story/poem was featured on a side flap. The UK was the only country where the box featured a poem rather than a story.

Morning Glory was re-released in the UK set (and in France, but not in North America) in 1987. This is almost certainly because she had a key role in My Little Pony, the Movie, which was heavily promoted in the UK that year. She also featured on the back of the Movie Star Pony backcard.

Morning Glory was still available in France and in German speaking countries at least in 1988. The box art was the same as that seen in the 1987 UK release, only translated. The rainbow was also updated to the new font, suggesting that the release was in 1988 rather than 1987. This release came without a sticker, probably because of the later issue.

Morning Glory's Character

"Flutter Ponies bring good luck,
In a very special way.
When rainclouds gather overhead,
Morning Glory will brighten the day!."
