Ponies Sold in 1983 in the UK The Collector Ponies (Flat Footed).
Possibly mingled in with The Collector Ponies (Concave Footed), but this is a bit more grainy and evidence is sketchy as to how this really worked. The Grooming Parlour (With Peachy) also came out in the UK in around 1983.

Sunbeam in the United Kingdom

Sunbeam was not sold in the United Kingdom, although she featured in early pony stories, comics and merchandise over here.





Sunbeam's Character

Sunbeam was a bit of an outlier in this original set, as she was a unicorn who was not especially associated with magic. In the UK comics, she was well known as a party convener and organiser, and her parties were exceptionally popular.
