The Twinkle Eye Ponies were part of the 1987 line over here, and appeared on a card which was predominately white, with a rainbow through the centre and down into the foreground. Speedy and Sky Rocket feature on the front, and the pony's name is on a ribbon in the top corner.

Although the insert and card for the Twinkle Eye ponies in Europe were both dated 1987, they were officially part of the 1988 line.

They had their own design of card compared to the UK release, and the date of release can be presumed from the shift in the rainbow font, which happened between 1987 and 1988. The picture below illustrates this clearly.

On the UK card on the left, the letter 'y' still has the long tail, whilst on the German card on the right, the tail is short and stumpy. The style of the European card is also more in keeping with packaging styles from 1988 (as seen on the Party Ponies, Adventure Boy Ponies, Magic Message Ponies etc), whilst the UK card is more in line with the style from 1987 (such as the Mountain Boys).

The Speedy that was sold in this set was also a paler shade than that sold in the UK and in North America. Despite the difference in release year and packaging, however, the above image suggests that the accessories were the same between UK and French/German release, rather than matching the North American release - they were all sold with shooting star combs and ribbons on the continent, and this was probably true in the UK as well.
