Title: What are these kitty toys by Mattel?
Post by: QueenStarglow on September 05, 2014, 07:36:41 AM
I got these in a craigslist find this morning and need help identifying them. They say Mattel 1989 on their bottoms. Can anyone help with price checks as well? I may end up trading/selling them at the Michigan pony meet coming up. Thanks for the help!

Those are Little Pretties; Ghost of the Doll has an excellent identification guide for them. I'm not sure on price checks, hopefully another member can help you out in that aspect.

The common ones typically go for ~$5 but im not sure which are common and which fetch for more, unfortunately :(

Did you get those kitties in a huge My Little Pony lot that was on craigslist today?

Thank you! I couldn't tell which were the adult and baby ones (maybe the adults have bows in their.. manes?) but they are cute! I might keep one for my baby sister since she's obsessed with kitties. I'd feel bad if I didn't give her one.

LovelyLittlePony, yes, I saw the ad go up last night and texted the lady right away. I picked them up first thing this morning! Most of the ponies may be lost causes but there were some very minty ones in there, even some from my wish list! My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts with a hundred ponies in sorted piles on the living room floor lol.

Oh thanks! I've never had any luck before (I can count on one hand how many times I've found ponies irl) so I was really excited. There isn't anything really hard to find in this lot, but some of the ponies are really nice!

The pink one with the star is Mimi, the bright pink one with the cat head is Catra, the green one with the rose is Rosebud, and the purple one with paws is, I think, Purple Paws. Those guys are all very common and don't sell too great on Ebay, anyway. They're very cute, though. :) The white one with the ponytail is Snow Curl; she came with a playset and is pretty rare -- an auction with her in it recently went for around $40. (There were two other more common ones with her, too, though, which drove up the price a little, and prices for these guys can fluctuate.)

Hope that helps!

It does thanks! The white one had me most confused because I couldn't find info on her. There was a white baby cat listed but in the wrong pose. That was the one I was going to keep because it was cutest but I'll clean her up and sell her to someone who appreciates her. I'll make sure the one I give my baby sister is common. Thanks again!

I collect these, though only casually. I've found most of mine at thrift stores and flea markets, so I think it's pretty safe to say that they are for the most part, very common.

I've never seen or heard of Snow Curl before. So pretty! :lovey: Your little sister will be very happy with her kitty, I just know it!

Here's a vanity shot of mine:

They are called "Little Pretties" by Mattel or "Little Pretty" they are cute !
I love the baby kitten ones, they are so adorable.
Here is some info on them:

There are some that do not have cutie marks, and they have tinsel in their bangs, like in my signature,
They are called Lady Lovelylocks curly kittens.
