Sweet Scoops and Charm


Sweet Scoops was offered via mail order from around 1989 until the middle of 1991. She was sold as part of a promotional leaflet which had party themed ponies at the core, and so she too was presented in this way, although, honestly, she is not that partyish. Instead, she goes back to basics, with a simple body and hair colour and basic symbol.

Although Sweet Scoops herself was fairly standard in her appearance, she did have one gimmick, which was a small mummy charm which exactly matched her appearance. The charm came with a pink cord necklace, intended for a child to wear it as a pendant around their neck. Unfortunately I don't have it, so mine hangs around Sweet Scoops' neck on a blue barbie ribbon ;) Whoops. :) She did also have a white basic ribbon - my pony is shown wearing this.

Sweet Scoops was offered for $10.75 if bought outright, or for $8.50 and 3 horseshoe points from pony packages. The offer ran until June 1991, or until stocks ran out.

Sweet Scoops is one of the ponies in the G1 line that best illustrates how knowledge is the most important thing in pony selling and buying. Although she looks deceptively simple, she remains one of the more sought after ponies, with or without her charm. She is also sometimes confused for the Sundae Best pony Sorbet Surprise, because of the similar colour scheme and ice cream themed symbol. In comparison, however, Sorbet Surprise (despite her perfume gimmick) is relatively common and inexpensive, whilst Sweet Scoops is far more sought after by collectors.
