Tall Tales

Tall Tales was sold as one of the Happytails Ponies in around 1988. Although I can't confirm how they were released in the UK, some Happytails ponies have been found here, making it likely that some import ponies did get across the atlantic. The boxes for the Happytails ponies did also include UK release information, suggesting they were at least offered to the UK market, even if they were not massively taken up. However, they are predominately a North American set release, and are much more common across the atlantic.

Like all Happytails ponies,  Tall Tales is made of very soft plastic, and her tail has a ring around it. When you press her withers, her tail swings from side to side or goes all around. She has a happy tail. Woot.

Tall Tales is the only pegasus in the set.
