My childhood ponies <3 Can you tell me who they are?

[InkyMilk]

So about a month ago I moved back home and was determined to dig out my box of old pony toys I was obsessed with when I was little. Sadly, they were in storage and not the back room as I had thought, delaying my search. But today I finally had the time to get down and dirty and dig all the way into the back of our storage, amidst mounds of boxes and dust, to pull out my box of childhood toys. Just as I remembered, the box was filled with old beanie babies and tons of ponies. But...not My Little Ponies. Lots of Grand Champions, Barbie ponies, miscellaneous generic ponies, and my oh-so favorite set of tiny Pound Puppy ponies that I adore almost as much as my official ponies. But as for real deal? Well, turns out my memory isn't what I thought it was, I only had 2! But two or twenty, seeing these little ladies have really brought back some memories and I'm so happy to have them back with me. Perhaps you can tell me a little more about them?

Haha, I actually feel pretty terrible about this leggy lady, since I remember, as a child, I hadn't even known she was an official pony! I thought she was a fakie (or, a pony "wannabe as I called her), and it wasn't until recently I discovered she actually is a Hasbro pony. I am also curious what generation she is from? 1 or 2?

And this sweet darling <3 Yes, I do remember her very much. I was obsessed with ballerinas when I was younger and I loved the way her legs could move.  I'm thinking she was actually my very first My Little Pony! I don't know if there are others made like her or if they are difficult to find, but even though I don't usually seek out armies and whatnot, I am feeling the tug to find her a little ballerina friend.

So there we have it. Maybe not as impressive as the huge childhood collections of some, but I'm happy with my pair.  I've never cleaned up a pony before but I think tomorrow I'd like to try to restore some life to these girls, especially my darling little baby pony.

UPDATE: With some lovely help from kiss_the_thunder I got my gals all fixed up and looking gorgeous again! I'm shocked at just how soft and lovely my little ballerina's mane and tail are, and while Pretty Belle may not be a prom queen anymore, she doesn't even look like the same pony anymore!

The top one is Pretty Belle (a Prom Queen Sweetheart Sister--she's a G1), and the baby is Baby Tippytoes (a Baby Ballerina)  C:  There were four different ponies in each set, I believe.

Awww!!! What fabulous ponies to have had growing up!!

hun, if you need someone to talk you through cleaning them up, let me know, I'd be so happy to!! I'd even give you my number <3 This is just so exciting! You're fixing up your childhood babies!!!

It's so cool you still had both of your ponies after all of these years

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Congrats on finding them!

[Eluluu]

aw they beat me to the id, but on an added note there are 4 baby ballerinas and 4 adult ones too if you were thinking of tracking down the set shes in. =] i have her too, one of my childhood ones too. definately an adorable pony. 

[InkyMilk]

Wow, such a super quick ID! I may have been able to figure out the baby if I'd searched hard enough but I don't know if I'd ever have found out the first one with a crazy long name like that! I absolutely adore the looks of the other three baby ballerinas though and I'm doing everything in my power not to go crazy and adopt them all right away...but it would give me the most wonderful excuse to get them a cute little nursery to display them in  I don't tend to collect G1's anymore, but these cuties definitely get an exception.

Congrats 

Both of your ponies look like they will clean up well. Some of those hair barrettes might be MLP too.

Have you noticed that there's also a baby pony ballet school playset in the G1 line? You can see it here: http://www.greatponies.com/playsets-later.html

I would give these ponies a good oxyclean bath and use some baby shampoo on the hair.

A magic Eraser can do wonders, too!

[kissthethunder]

I can't wait to see them done hun!! I'm glad you called

[kittybethy]

So cool! Congrats!

[Goldilocks]

I also recommend a magic eraser, those are cheap and easy to use.

Edited the first post to show them all done up and looking beautiful! I've never deep cleaned a pony like that before and I'm absolutely thrilled at how they turned out 

[kissthethunder]

Oh HUN!! They turned out so so gorgeous!!! I still think she's a prom queen! Stunning!!
