Player

Player was one of the four earth pony Dance & Prance characters released in the Dance & Prance pony set. The set was available in North America in 1989, and then was sold in the UK and Europe in the 1990 and 1991 catalogues. Although originally promoted as a pegasus in the commercial and American catalogue, Player was actually sold in an earth pony pose, with her head looking up. This pose was amended from the Powder pose, with the horn removed. Player was still drawn as a pegasus pony on her UK release box, despite the fact she had been on sale as an earth pony for a whole year by this point.

Player was sold with a range of dress up dance accessories, from a gold mesh ribbon to a fluffy boa, earrings and a clip with a hair extension.

Player's Character

Player was depicted as a pegasus in the comics, which meant that sometimes she did flying things (well, maybe her tail was a secret propeller!) She was best known, however, for her guitar playing, and she would often whip the instrument out to play a quick tune.
