So Soft North Star
North Star was a new character for this So Soft Set in 1985, and
continued to be sold throughout 1986. She was sold in a new pose
for this year, and came with a sun pick and ribbon, as well as a
scented sticker. The So Soft version was never sold in the UK,
although a regular version was sold here in the Movie Star set in
1987. Deflocked versions of the So Soft pony and the regular
version look very similar - deflocking North Star can thus lead to
confusion over pony authenticity.
North Star's Character
So Soft North Star appeared in the animated My Little Pony and
Friends series. She is probably best known for ringing the
'Freedom Bell' in The Return of Tambelon, with Megan perched on
her back (I'm sure that probably didn't help her aerodynamics).
In fact, I have no idea why Megan was even there, as North Star
doesn't need her help to ring the bell at all...
