Peach Blossom in the United Kingdom
Peach Blossom was sold officially in 1986 in the
UK. She was also sold on a more global scale. She is relatively
common second hand (usually without wings).
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 - she is pictured
on the reverse. 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.
Peach Blossom's Character
"Flutter Ponies bring good luck,
Any time of day or night,
If scary dreams awaken you,
Peach Blossom will chase away your fright ."
In the UK, flutter ponies were charged with being lucky, and
instead of a story, each flutter had a little poem on her box,
beginning with the line 'Flutter Ponies bring good luck'. The
flutter ponies lived in Flutter Valley and did often appear in
comic stories. Peach Blossom did not have a prominent comic role
that I remember, but her poem suggests that she operated in a
protective capacity, warding away bad dreams.
