Sunburst

Sunburst was sold in 1987, in the Mountain Boy pony set in the UK and a handful of other countries. He was sold on a very elaborately decorated card featuring the six ponies in the mountains (which is, logically, where they lived).

 He is very difficult to find Mint on Card, and there are only a handful known to have survived. Sunburst's accessories were an aqua grasshopper comb and a peach orange ribbon, as well as a puffy sticker.

Sunburst's Character

Sunburst was invariably positive, a literal 'sunny character' who always saw the bright side of things and was never down in the dumps. He was the first Mountain Boy that Baby Lucky met on Misty Mountain.
