OH MY GODDDDDDDDD that's them! The back of the box seems to be missing the yellow one with green hair & palm trees but this is them. What's weird is they're by HG, which means when I bought mine in the 90's they must have been old stock!

I WANT THEM OMG

They are NOT Matchbox's Carousel Collection. ;)

These horses were smaller than a Barbie horse and a FSF but were made from similar plastic. They had brushable hair and their molds were (I believe) unique. They had removable saddles (possibly bridles) but the neatest thing was that they had a carousel pole that snapped on to them so that they looked like they belonged on a carousel. I had a white one with pink hair and a purple one with teal hair. They might have had symbols (I want to say the theme of the white one was snowflakes and the purple was red hearts?). I'd be interested to find them again and see if there are more.

GO GO GO :D

Post by: Breyer600 on October 15, 2018, 11:50:17 PM: Oh, I know the ones you're talking about. I had the white with pink hair and black with blue hair. Someone was trying to ID them several years ago but I don't think much information was ever found.

Here's the old thread (sadly the pictures are gone): http://mlparena.com/archive/Forums/viewtopic/t=257523/ (http://mlparena.com/archive/Forums/viewtopic/t=257523/)

There is also a link to a Ghost of the Doll discussion about them that does have one picture remaining that happens to be the purple with teal hair and heart symbols: http://ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Forum/index.php?topic=889.msg21957#msg21957 (http://ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Forum/index.php?topic=889.msg21957#msg21957)

The link to the site mentioned in those threads that talks about them is dead but using the Wayback Machine on it you can see a few more: https://web.archive.org/web/20050309125956/http://bluegallop.topcities.com/ATXTHGToys.html (https://web.archive.org/web/20050309125956/http://bluegallop.topcities.com/ATXTHGToys.html)

Post by: Skeen on October 17, 2018, 01:09:04 PM: Breyer, that's her!! I'd have LOVED to have the black one too. It shares a pose with a lot of running GC horse it looks like. Off to research, I MUST have more of these!

Yes, please! I've saved all the pics I could find of each horse but yours would be one I've not seen yet. I still haven't found my white with pink haired girl either. 10/10 would totally collect.

I totally will! Probably tomorrow since she has curlers in her hair right now so once that's done I'll get pictures right away. ;)

Post by: Breyer600 on December 27, 2018, 11:52:04 AM: Oh wow, that's awesome! Nice to have the official names for the most of them too. I wonder if the yellow was a special set like the green one or if it was a late edition to the standard line.

Post by: Kendall8014 on February 26, 2019, 04:47:38 PM: Got my Music Go Round yesterday 😍😍 i can’t believe how big it is! The seal on the box was broken so I did look at it all, but I won’t set it up... Paradise is gorgeous 💜
Title: Re: ID a line of carousel horses I remember - Edit: MIB FOUND!
Post by: Skeen on February 27, 2019, 12:47:44 PM: I got mine too but am in a dispute with the seller. Paid for Priority, got Parcel Select. That's a large difference in cost. :/
Title: Re: ID a line of carousel horses I remember - Edit: MIB FOUND!
Post by: Kendall8014 on February 28, 2019, 06:52:09 AM: I’m sure it will turn out fine! I mentioned the broken seal and they immediately offered a partial refund ($20) their customer service was fantastic. Hopefully they have no issues sorting out the mistake. I didn’t even have to file a dispute or anything, I just messaged them and they replied back to me very fast and dealt with the issue professionally.
Title: Re: ID a line of carousel horses I remember - Edit: MIB FOUND!
Post by: Skeen on February 28, 2019, 10:06:21 AM: You got better service than I did! I asked why they sent it Parcel when I paid for Priority, she replied she sent it that way and bought insurance for it. I told her Priority already insures up to $50 (so, more than the auction) AND is faster. And also, insurance isn't mentioned in the shipment information on USPS tracking, and ALSO shipping it from her to me with the weight she used and the dimensions of the box only cost $x and buying insurance on top of that was only $y so please show me where you bought insurance.

Woke up to a nice refund this morning. And I didn't even mention the broken seals!

Post by: Kendall8014 on February 28, 2019, 08:01:21 PM: Wow good on you! How does all the stuff inside the box look? I’m curious to see a pic of your paradise, wondering if they vary at all? I can’t for the frighten life of me figure out how to post pictures on here off of an iPhone 🤦🏼‍♀️
Title: Re: ID a line of carousel horses I remember - Edit: MIB FOUND!
Post by: Skeen on March 01, 2019, 11:11:14 AM: Everything looked great! Smelled a bit musty initially but that's gone now. Paradise is so pretty! I'm not going to set it up but all the pieces were there. Only need Rose, Violet, and the musical green one now!
