You forgot Snowflake. Though she's another fashion rebel, as she breaks the glittery symbol rule.

Though she's another fashion rebel, as she breaks the glittery symbol rule.Yeah, her white hair is kind of another unicorn trait she appropriated, along with her glittery symbol. But all the ponies in that set break away from the patterns US ponies were following at the time. With the exception of Honeycomb. I don't think there's anything that sets her apart from other pegasi at the time.
As PKW would say, It's 1986! A lot of weird happened then. You're right. Hopscotch and Honeycomb are pretty regular to their breeds and Cherries Jubilee and Posey change symbol (CJ hair as well to straight) but are basically themselves with no additions. It's Gypsy and Snowflake who are the troublemakers.

It's a subtle detail, but I believe Hopscotch is the first regular adult earth pony whose symbol is a single image, and not a small collection of the same object.On the topic of streaks, what do we think of the fact that Magic Star and Truly both had a streak in their manes in their prototypes? Could they have been intended as unicorns at some point? Truly had a prototype baby that was a unicorn, and these ponies' symbols also seem to go along better with the themes unicorns/pegasi usually followed.visitors can't see pics , please register or login
What's so strange about Snowflake? Is it that her symbol only has one color?
Huh. Sunlight was also an early Earth pony with a glittery symbol.

I like it on Magic Star. She looks really bold like that. I don't like it on Truly.
I think it may be true that Hopscotch has the first one object symbol for an earth pony...at least, she doesn't, but she does if you are talking about ponies without fur.
What's weird is that Brazil Truly kept her blue streak even though she's a pegasus! Though there are no unicorns in the Brazil line, all the unicorns that changed species still have the stripe - Ribbon, Gusty & baby, Milky Way, Twist. Magic Star appears unchanged (aside from hair color variation of course), so it looks like Estrella got confusing info about what Truly looked like, or that maybe Hasbro didn't approve her final design until the last minute (maybe when they dropped the baby?).
