When is a pony accessory not a pony accessory?

[LadyMoondancer]

The answer is: when Hasbro has used the mold for another of their toys. 

I was browsing around Google Images and I found these pictures of Hasbro "Love-a-Bye" dolls from 1990-ish, which came with white ducky pull toys, stacking rings, and princess pony hats with a pom-pom on top (as "birthday hats" I guess, lol).  The pictures were originally from an eBay auction, but the auction is too old to show up on eBay anymore.

I also remember Hasbro having an early 90s line of plush turtles, and a couple of the turtles came with MLP accessories.  Like I think one came with a princess wand.

I wonder if what's happened with the other threads mystery Dance N' Prance hair clip.
Very sharp eye you have!

I think I have - or have had in the past - the yellow hat in that picture. Wondered what it went to, so thanks for that!

[Carrehz]

Hehe, didn't they reuse one or two accessories for Jem, too? It's interesting when they do this.

Oooh and good thinking Jinxxy, that could be a good lead for the hair-clip :O I hadn't thought about that.

I think My Pretty Mermaids used some of the MLP comb molds.

Make Me Up Darlings came with original style combs. This Topsy Turtle came with a sun pick. The ad on Ghost of the Doll shows her with a brush. I picked her up at a flea market recently.

I'm not sure about that - I was an MLP child, I rarely bought anything else and I can't think of any of my toys having hair that would use a hair grip.

Those duck toys are so cute!

I like those white duck pulls.

I noticed recently that the newer (early 2000s) Brazil SSC dolls came with MLP flutter picks (mostly pink ones, without the flower centers painted).

Really?! Do you have pics? I wonder if hasbro still has molds to all the brushes?! That'd be so cool!

I know they had quite a few toy lines, and borrowed parts a lot.

I don't have a picture, but if you search strawberry shortcake Brazil on eBay you would find some mib pictures.

Not a surprise that such a company used her molds for anothers things. I'm sure with a great search, this kind of re-use is more common than we though
Usefull to know.

How cool is that! Maybe that can explain otherwise unexplainable MLP accessories? I have a few accessories that have me puzzled but maybe they came with other toylines.....

I think these kind of pseudo-accessories should be catalogued in one place    

Here's the catalog image of the Love-A-Bye Babies.   Hats, duckies, stacking toys, even the bottles are like the Teeny Tiny Twins bottles.  The birthday boxes are the same shape & folding style as the box from the birthday ponywear.

Cabbage Patch Magic Meadow Glitz'n Glamour ponies had tiaras in various colors that match the eyelash princess tiaras. There's at least a pink, purple and gold one....and I think maybe blue?

The My Little Puppy / Kitty / Bunny Nursery Litters used the same style Teeny Tiny Twins bottles, combs & brushes, stacking toys.   They also used molds from the German Nesthakchen Babies:  crib, cradle, bathtub, bathsponge, teddy bear.

And Sindy (aka Barbie) took a few cues from the Hasbro molds too.
Princess-style pick (not glittery)

I also have a clear purple flutter pony pick, but I don't have a photo handy and I'm not sure where that one came from.

OMG!!  I definitely remember people coming to the board having found that bunny, wondering if it was a variant of the My Little Bunnies!  So it turns out it was Sindy!   Sindy was produced by Hasbro, so that makes sense . . . Wow, well done, another pony mystery solved.
