Munchy was sold as part of the second set of Twice as Fancy
Ponies in 1988. She was sold in North America and in the Benelux
countries. She was not sold in the UK. Her theme was fast food,
and she controversially had a symbol of hot dogs, pickles (or
gherkin slices), and fries/chips. We could talk a lot about the
morality of Munchy's symbol themes, especially since the idea of
vegetarian or vegan burgers was not so much a thing in the
1980s...
She is one of the more sought after Twice as Fancy Ponies.
Munchy's backcard story has a very American vibe to it, and
begins in a very real world environment - at the end of a
baseball game. Of course, then she wiggles her nose and turns
the baseball bats into hot dogs and the balls into fries and
everything goes a bit peculiar. Perhaps this is Dream Valley's
equivalent of recycling, but it's up there on a par with Crumpet and
her rose-bush croquet balls. I suppose at least it saves getting
in a caterer.
You have to wonder what happens if Munchy goes to a baseball
game and accidentally sneezes...
