Pretty Mane Ponies

The Pretty Mane Ponies were offered via mail order in around 1989 to 1991, and were only available in North America. They were not released in Europe or the UK and did not come to the UK in clearance packages at the end of the line.

In the USA, they were offered for $6 plus 1 horseshoe point each, and were available separately (but they go together, so I am including them on the same page).  In Canada they were offered in 1990 for $7 plus 2 horseshoe points, and appeared on an insert with a wide array of other mail order ponies. The offer expired in summer 1991.

They are made in amended versions of the Flutter Pony pose belonging to Rosedust but were not ever sold with wings or wing-fixings, which have been edited out of the mould for this release. They also appear to be slightly larger in proportion.

Dabble's mane streaks should be dark purple and aqua, but the aqua fades extremely easily, even without exposure to sunlight or chemicals, and many second hand Dabbles - like mine - have white/cream streaks instead. (It's not always fading pink causing the problems!) This may well be to do with the dying process, although Scribbles does not suffer from this issue.
