There are known to be some versions of this pony with No Country of Manufacture on the hooves. These may have been available in Spain but may also have been around in other places.

The texture of Wriggle Pocket's hair can vary from curlyfrizzy to silky. I have also seen I think a coral hair version instead of dark pink but this seems a bit unusual.


Wriggle Pocket's Character

Wriggle Pocket featured in the pony comic in around 1992 and was still in stories around 1993. She featured on the cover of Comic 200 along with Singing Pocket.

Wriggle Pocket's fish pocket pal was called Wriggle and he often participated in the stories alongside her.

Her backcard story involved a game in which she invited the baby ponies to guess her name.
