I never was that interested in the later G1 releases. As a child, my favorites were always the releases of the first couple of years and I never really liked the gimmicky later releases with bright colors. The last ponies I remember I thought were AWESOME were the Windy Wings. On the other hand I used to think Fancy Pants babies were taking it too far away from the originals :lol:
Coming back to collecting as an adult I sought out the first years of G1, and never checked out the releases after 1990 much. Trying to find advertisements on the first couple of years of MLP I stumbled upon an ad from 1993 (from a Norwegian Donald Duck comic from March 1993). It’s actually the first time I found any excitement of the later G1 releases- because there those adorable Bedtime Newborn were featured! I never knew they were releases in Norway, but obviously they were :)

Aww! She is a cutie! I love that the sun actually yawns :lol: Did you buy yours in Norway? I was hoping I might stumble upon them second-hand :P

Yeah it was bought in Norway. I remember I bought it for my birthday money at the age of 3 :P

That is such a sweet story, and my kind of birthday present :biggrin: I got my first pony at the age of three too(CP Bowtie), but I have no recollection of that at all! :lol:

I remember I picked her up and before we could get to the cashier I was almost out of the store cause I wanted to show dad who was outside the store what I was going to buy.

I'm pretty sure they were fairly standard release across Europe in around 1992-3. I also think they were the set that had an interesting Easter release in Australia but someone from there will need to confirm :D
My sister and I had all of this set between us from new. We actually had the pegasus (Moondream) each, for some reason, and then I had the pink one (Sunset) and my sister had the blue one (Stargaze). There was a big toy store in our area for a few years that sold ponies at a slightly cheaper price than most stores so we bought a lot there back then...mostly baby ponies.
I remember we bought Sunset & Stargaze and then went to some cafe because I have this recollection of us opening them and playing with them on the table. Still have their bottles as well :)
I think a lot of the later ponies actually go back to that 'simple' image of the earlier years. For example, the Seven Characters (aka MLP Tales ponies) are very basic really - solid body colour, solid hair colour and simple single symbol. Okay, there are still weird things from then too, but somehow a lot of them seem less elaborate than some of the ones in the middle, like the Secret Surprise or Pocket ponies.

I recently found Sunset in a charity shop for 50p, so I was pretty excited! She is adorable. And very photogenic :)

Wow her cutiemark is way better then mine is.
Could you measure the tail on yours? I am going to give mine a new tail since its cut.

Exactly! I never really forgave Hasbro for doing all the gimmicky ponies- it was mainly what drove me away from ponies and on to other toys such as Sylvanians, Lady Lovely Locks and Keypers. Oh well, maybe I should have stayed on a little longer because some of the latest releases really are sweet ;)

SO underrated!
I think they were the last sets I bought!

When I took the photo I forgot that Baby Yo-Yo wasn't part of the set, but I can't be bothered re-taking it :P Couldn't find my Baby Stargaze, must be buried deeper in storage somewhere :huh:

Aww- they are cute! Thanks for the picture! :inlove: Yo-yo is adorable, she should be included in every set picture IMO :P

I wish everyone thought Yoyo was adorable. I have a veritable army of her in my trade box.

Poor YoYo! She is an under appreciated little newborn :P I think she is cute! I always regretted choosing Tappy instead of Yoyo from the store (don’t tell Tappy!). But of course, it was Wiggles that were the grand price from that set :lol: They were the last ponies I ever got as a child.

Yoyo was a favourite of mine as a kid, actually. My first baby pegasus. But yeah, you can have too much of a good thing.
Weirdly my other childhood newborn, Squirmy, I never seem to see a double of.
It's that yellow pony vibe I guess?

The yellow vibe! Absolutely- I have a soft spot for yellow ponies myself. And green, orange, white.. Well, actually all colors but pink :lol:
I would love to see some Stargaze though- if anyone has her? By the way, is her pink hair also prone to sunfading? I never seen a picture of her with faded hair, but then again I haven’t seen that many pictures... come to think of it, it might just have been the same pony in different pictures :lol:

I don't think her hair fades. Here is my sister's one :)
