I sold my Strawberry Fair for 300 a couple of years ago. (with shortened hair) Maybe she has dropped again though.  I would say 1000 for Susie as well! As there is only one of her. (But she could be 3000 too, it just depends on how much anyone would be willing to pay just to convince you to sell her. A auction bidding on her would probably be very different though and she would most likely go for less). I value my Blue Belle to 3000 being a test shot pony, and the first kind of manufactured pony. I know I could sell her for that if I decided to.

Hopscotch aside, your earth ponies look the same as the Groom & Style were here (except you mentioned sticker variations). Certainly the cards appear to match exactly the ones I have for Applejack and Bow Tie. Applejack's ribbon is very green, though...I wonder what the reason behind that was or if it was just a one off batch with a different colour. Guess we'll never know. Just a quick reply before bed, will cover more later. The cards are the same, but the accessories differ. The ribbon is actually different for bow-tie as well, but it isn't the color but the fabric type. It's the same type that was used for SS ponies. (A silky version, the groom & style ponies had a wider and not as silky type that was used for mostly all ponies before 1986). Applejack has the same type, so thats why I can see that they both are later releases (and with the sticker confirms it as well). I think they just needed to go with the ribbon types available for 1986, and they just decide to give her a green while at it. I don't think it has anything to do with just a batch difference in this case. I'm a real accessory nerd so I have studied ribbon types closely as I want to match all ponies and document them.  Another interesting thing is that I actually have a shy-pose curly haired applejack that is most likely swedish sold too ( she comes from childhood collection). She is significantly darker orange than the US release. And her symbols have a different shade of red, this makes her look like a totally different batch. (I have never seen another noel like her in the US). The swedish collector poster sent to Club members shows her as a curly shy pose as well next to CP Bow-Tie. She is a real mystery pony! I think she might have been mixed in with CP applejack in the beginning maybe, but I have never sen another one here in Sweden so that must have been a very limited number. edit with picture of the Swedish Ponnyklubben poster from 1987. This poster cover the full range of ponies sold in 1987 up to the point that it got sent out. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginTootise is pictured as green, posey doesn't have magenta tulips. Applejack is in the shy pose. Moondancer is white. Surprise name is missspelled to Surprice (acctually quite common misstake, I do it all the time.. Maybe a swedish thing..  ) and Fabel Pony Gusty has jumped down to the Movie Star row. (They didn't think there was a need to picture two Gusty's). The Pony Friends ponies are missing though. And Sprinkles, Baby Lemon Drop and the Play and Care Babies. And Playset ponies I have a vague memory of another poster like this, but with a green-ish background. Maybe they are on that poster. I hope that I will find it someday!

That PE advertising picture seems very familar to me, but I don't think it would have been in the UK comic, since Trickles wasn't sold here (although I got one second hand as a child). Could be in the German comic though?

Or I do also have Swedish and Finnish comics. Could be in there (though I've had the German comics longer and the memory feels a bit older) I't wasn't used in Germany. The photograph was taken in Sweden for the distributor PLAYMIX by the swedish photographer that I acquired the stickers from. So it most likely comes from the swedish comics that you have.

I went home today and managed to snap some pictures of a few moc's. I couldn't get to the UK advertising folder that I have, it was to much stuff in front of it (the whole room was temporarily flooded of things from the garage). I will try later when everything is in order again. But I managed to find my Hasbro UK toy catalog from 1986 (sent out to retail dealers to order the supply from) The My Little Pony set with Gypsy is referred to the "original set" of My Little Ponies. (as a contrary to the other set's available) So they don't use the name "standard pony", although it is quite close (the meaning behind it is the same). (I'm not saying you should use it because of this or any reason, just that it is a way to talk about them and include them in the "earth pony" - category without upsetting Gyspy and Honeycomb). Here is my Water Fall (Sprinkles) MOC. Compared to the Baby MOC. Both sold in Sweden during 1987-88. The card is the same for them, (just adapted for each set. It is clearly a way to distribute left over ponies on a cheap card with no artwork in the back of it). The Sprinkles MOC is the only know that has been preserved. I bought it last year from the swedish collector who owned it before me. Here are my swedish standard ponies. And my german bow-tie moc I checked the stickers for Applejack and Bow Tie, and they are both copyright 1985. The sticker for my german one is hidden quite well so I can't see if there is any copyright. Lucky we were able to spot it at your MOC! My two Pony Friends. The only two of these 2 characters that exists MOC what we know of, so I'm really happy that I was able to buy them! My swedish sold Movie Stars.

Do you have more photos of the baby lemondrop?
I just have display side and non-display side pictured (under spoiler). But I can take more close-ups if you want
yes please
And of the Princess attendant Dragon
More pictures of the dragon Spiney is now added under spoiler. I failed with close-ups for baby lemon drop. I will try again later. (I took pictures of the wrong baby  )

I almost feel like in the early years ponies like the Rainbow Ponies weren't actually the same as My Little Pony. I have this recollection of something saying something like My Little Ponies and Rainbow Ponies sold separately, or some such...certainly that is the way the Fact File presents them. This I can maybe ad something to, in the swedish story books with tapes the "Little ponies" aka My Little Pony referred to the Earth ponies. (They didn't use the term Earth pony when talking about them) and the other gimmicked ponies was an other category of pony. something like: "The pegasus ponies was soaring trough the sky and observed the Little ponies playing on the ground". For me this has always been a way of distinguish the earth ponies from other set's. (as the Little ponies first and foremost was earth ponies in 1983, and later spin offs added pegasi and unicorns and rainbow ponies) And that's why I have picked up the already used therm for them: "Standard Ponies" to describe them as the original style sort of in the first years. This standard set of ponies disappeared after the Pony Friends though, and everything became mixed set's with special gimmicks. (The Movie Stars is kind of in the middle of this transformation. In UK you could see them as a new standard set, although very different, but here they where not according to advertising and the fact that we had the Pony Friends along side them). in the UK line, they are actively marketed as “My Little Pony”. This also includes the Movie Star Ponies, even though it’s not true for that set in other countries. Yes that is correct, since they didn't have any "label" on them like in France, neither did they in Sweden (although advertising used the "movie Pony" term. In the US the set of Pegasus ponies and Unicorn ponies got distinguished from the standard set of My Little Pony with a label, although they shared the same backside of the card and was closely associated with each other. But the Fable Pony set in Sweden didn't have any label, only the german one had it. But still there were a need of separate them from other set's in advertising. On the fact file though they are all grouped together, and that sort of make sense when you are talking about characters rather than toys that appears in movies and comics (ponies that was just a normal earth,peg or unicorn just as you described) even if they aren't present as toys they will still be there in the "pony universe" just as Lofty and Ribbon and they are not divided in their set's. The fact file is more a extended part of the comic's in that way, and not a folder to promote ponies from the same year and range. But when we are talking about the actual toys and releases of them in set's, they are grouped after the year of release (as they are in the Hasbro UK catalogues sent out to dealers) . And there is some logic behind having a standard set each year as a basic supply of ponies (all the countries got them, even if they missed out on other set's) and match them with other "spin off" set's depending on what suited the marked in each country. The first publicity material I have is 1984, which is Blossom and company. So while I agree that Standard Pony makes sense, in another way, from a UK perspective, I also feel there’s a risk in moving too far from what they were originally marketed as here (which isn’t necessarily the same as other places). I have UK advertising for the first set of 6 from 1983. It is veeery British! (sorry no pictures available atm.) Yes there is a bit of a difference from the UK marketing and the Swedish/German marketing. But you did at least have the argos catalog with the "Movie Pony" label to it. I haven't found any UK advertising yet with a "standard pony" label, but I do get a feeling that this Standard pony- thing comes from Hasbro UK originally in some way. I don't know why two different countries, associated with the company but not with each other, would use it otherwise. But I will keep on digging for information to puzzle it all together! (I love mysteries!) I remember that, and the confusion. But having the baby doesn’t mean having the mummy. Yes, and I totally agree with you. I'm sure that they never had the mummy! But if they had the backccard with her present on the artwork she must have been known of, and recognized when the baby appeared in 1988. I think that is why the rumor started. I also think it’s interesting how the German publicity for that Baby Pony set showed Baby Zitroenchen in the Ember pose, possibly meaning they used the one we had with the stroller or the Spanish one for photos but actually released a different one instead. I have that folder to, and it is the spanish version of Baby Lemon Drop pictured. The funny thing is that the first advertising we got for our baby it was actually the UK baby pictured in a pink stroller! , the second ad showed her as the spanish version though that is the official one that we got. But there is a swedish rumor that the UK version actually got sold here (as a small quantity/left over perhaps) but packed with the pink stroller. Some collectors have her since childhood. I found the second ad on my photobucket from 1987: (here you can see Gusty as the "filmponny" -movie pony) visitors can't see pics , please register or loginI don't have a picture of the first ad, but there you se the UK version in a pink stroller, and also they mention the "standard ponies".

Hrm. So in a sense, Scandinavia continued on with a set III of "My Little Pony" (as Pony Friends) that the UK line didn't really have. We had Groom & Style (I), My Little Pony 1986 (II) and then into Movie Stars. You guys, by contrast, had a weird mix of My Little Pony II on Groom & Style cards that didn't show them, and so you kinda invented your own My Little Pony III set to cope with the repetition. Yes kind of. We got the Movie Stars the same year though, but they aren't like a new set of standard ponies for us, but more like a special set with mixed breeds that didn't happen before this set. You could see it like this to: 1: You got the very first My Little Pony set in 1983, same as in the US, and on the same card.2: The second My Little Pony set came in 1984 with the same poses that also was sold in the US, but on a card with different artwork.
(lets call them "Standard Ponies" for now, I tell you why later)3: The third My Little Pony "Standard Pony" set came in 1985 with the "groom & style ponies".
The US got the same characters, but you had "Collectors Pose" Bow Tie and Applejack, and the artwork on the card was different from each other.4: Your fourth My Little Pony "Standard Pony" set came in 1986 with Gypsy. In the US the So Soft ponies appeared instead of a new "Standard Pony" set for them. Up to here it was always "keep two characters from the earlier set, and ad 4 new characters. ( 1984= Blossom+Cotton Candy, 1985= Applejack+Bow Tie, 1986= Posey+Cherries Jubilee) The US So Soft pony set merged the previous Unicorn&Pegasus set with the "Standard Pony" set (they had kind of always been merged though with a shared back card) and reused 3 from each set in this huge new set. 5: You got the Movie Stars in 1987 as a new My Little Pony set, but this one broke the previous rules and can't really be called a new "Standard Pony" set, as no characters where reused from the previous year. And also with the strong gimmick being characters from the movie they are special in a way that the other set's weren't. ... In Sweden we got our first ponies in 1986, so we skipped out on the first 2 "Standard Pony" set's and went straight for the third set, a year later than you guys. BUT our set was different from the rest of Europe that we also added Snowflake and Hopscotch + magenta tulip Posey (Yes she was a part of this set to) a year earlier. So we got 8 characters instead of the normal 6 that Germany and France got, they had set's that kept the "keep 2 characters and ad 4 new" line. Our Second "Standard Pony" set was the Pony Friends set that introduced Snowflake and Hopscotch to the rest of Europe a year after you, as the standard was. But as you said in Sweden we needed to reinvent ours a bit with new characters to cope with the repetition. Germany and France had a more "normal" release except instead of using the keep 2 and ad 4 characters it was the opposite. 4 old and 2 new. So you could think of the Gypsy set as an early "Pony Friend's" set. And quite closely related with the Cupcake and Truly set in this way, (although a year apart, but that was common for all our ponies) and very much related with the other Pony Friends set in Germany and France. When comparing these two set, they belong more with each other than with the Movie Star set that is so very different. (And here they where sold alongside the Pony Friend's set, but I think this standard pony set came out before them but wasn't available for as long as them, and in France they are not really seen as the standard set either. The Movie Stars- gimmick suites them better, hence the Cine Stars label on them.) And as for the name "Standard Pony", i picked that up from a German insert folder for the "Groom & Style" set (but with italian ponies). I will try to find a pic of it since I don't have my collection in hand. But I find it quite handy to call them that instead of just "My Little Pony" as a set name. It explains it better how to think of those ponies as the very fundamental base of ponies, and the other set's (like rainbow's, babies, Twinkle eyes, Fable ponies) as a "spin off" from them. (They are also mentioned as "Standard ponny" in Swedish adverting while Movie Stars are "Film Ponny"). Like this:
My Little Pony
My Little Pony - Twinkle Eyes
VS:
Standard ponies
Twinkle EyesInteresting how that card says Hopscotch on it but she's not pictured. A very definite design reusing an existing card style, probably to cut down on costs...almost certainly because they didn't want to have the Gypsy and Honeycomb card over there and have kids go "want those!" Yes it is the same as the Fable Pony card say's Powder, but she isn't pictured (same with Moondancer). I think that they originally wasn't supposed to be included. The german set indicates this anyway. But it fit's quite well that we got 8 standard ponies and 8 Fable Ponies while Germany got 6 standard (italian) ponies and 6 (italian) Fable ponies. But here we also need to investigate where the CP Bow Tie on the UK Gypsy card fit's in. A true mystery, where the "want those!" really apply! There was an old rumor in Germany that Honeycomb was a part of their MLP range (probably fueled by the Baby Honeycomb pony). But it could also have been an assumption from backcards like this one. I'm 100% sure that she wasn't included in this set, I think that Germany just got the 1986 standard pony card for a year earlier standard release of ponies, but with non-edited characters drawn on it. This must have changed quickly though (that's why so few exist) as they also had the italian standard ponies on the earlier card, and they are the ones pictured in folders/advertising! This set must be separated from the later german Pony Friend's set as it included Bow Tie and probably Applejack. It's more in line with our first standard pony set in Sweden (except for Hopscotch and Snowflake). And thats one of the reasons I think that this set got issued in Germany in early 1986, same time as your set with Gyspy. But with the ponies you had in the Groom and style set. Stickers being present indicates this as well, as there weren't any stickers used in the 1987 set's of standard ponies. (And as we got the copyrighted 1985 stickers too in our Standard Pony set, it fit's quite well) visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Yes 80 dollar is what they cost normally with their usual flaws. But I think that a perfect one would be worth a lot more since they are so rare and sought after, and that it wouldn't be overpriced to ask more for her because of that. I have been locking for a perfect whitecap for ages now, and I myself would be prepared to pay much more for her than with a yellowed one with cancer and brown discolortions. I would happily trade my Sea Mist for a Whitecap in the same condition, but I don't think I will find one. Thank you for your help! I will think about if ebay is a better place for her.

Yes the Pony Friends cards artwork is ultimately based on the UK card with Gypsy and the others, it's very clear at the front of it too, its just the ponies that got recolored and changed somewhat (and some details, like the flowers on the ground). And what actually binds them together is Hopscotch and Snowflake. Im 100% sure that Gypsy and Honeycomb is UK exclusives, (and so is your straight/short haired cherries jubilee). But the other ponies "needed" to be distributed to many other countries in 1987, a year after your release of this set, so you could say that this card is for introducing Hopscotch and Snowflake as new "Pony Friends" to the old characters. Like a new "earth pony/standard pony" set. The french version of this set is the same as the german one, same card and italian ponies, and available in 1987. (I just couldn't find a saved pic on my new computer). The Spanish one is a little later issue, catalog shows them as available from 1987, but card says copyright 1988. Germany, France and Spain didn't get Hopscotch and Snowflake until this very set was released in 1987. So they got them a year after you. But in Sweden we got Hopscotch and Sowflake mixed in with our earth ponies in 1986, so we had them already! The other countries just got the 6 regular characters on a earth pony card during 1986. They came on the groom & style card, and with stickers. The year after on the Pony friends card they didn't have stickers anymore So it looks like when the Pony Friends set was going to be released in Sweden Hasbro needed to boost it with some new characters (so that it would sell better). "Old news"-Snowflake was taken away from this set, and so was Lickety Split and Tootsie and replaced with Truly, Cupcake and Shady. What I'm trying to say is that Cupcake and Truly really don't belong grouped with the Movie Stars, in how they where distributed. They are more like a new group of earth ponies that took over from the first old set. Like a "earth pony/standard pony" set for us. (The set you got with snowflake was like a "Earth pony/standard pony" set for you too but with a peg and unicorn included with them since you didn't get the Fable Ponies) (It lines up with Hasbros standard manners to keep 2 old characters ponies and ad 4 new characters. Second set in UK it was Bow Tie and Applejack that got reintroduced, and the third set it was Cherries Jubilee and Posey). Interesting about the baby princess box (I have to look at mine too). It looks like there were plans to distribute it then, but it never got to that!

...all the different lines in Europe (including the UK) and in Australasia have been shunted into either being "same as" or "different from" the North American release, instead of being considered as ponies in their own right... ^THIS! I just keeps annoying me ...Like if the whole range of different european ponies is submissive to the american line. I love all ponies, and I'm totally envious of what ponies that was available in US and not here, and I don't really feel like I live in a country filled with amazing exclusive oddity ponies. They are normal to me! (and I really don't like the term "international" ponies either. I have come across swedish collectors who use that term for our exclusives, probably picked up at DV. But hey, they aren't "international" from our point of view, they are very much national. ) But instead the american So Soft ponies has always been so strange and foreign for me! I remember when my friend brought a SS Twist at my hose to play with my ponies wen we where kids (she got it as a gift from her dad's working trips). I thought it was so ugly and all dirty, and it got soaking wet after we played in the pool with our ponies. My parent's had to dry it in the drying cabinet and we couldn't play for an hour. When I started collecting I really wasn't interested in them. But then I found a perfect SS Lofty in a lot, and WOW! I fell in love. Now I almost got them all (and they look like they come straight from the package, because I collect that way). But still, they are so strange to me, but now in a good way! :big grin: I really hate when someone refers to a pony as the "US version" and it's a pony I had as a child. It somehow invalidates my whole childhood by denying the fact that pony and the whole line had an identity here that was separate from North America, even if the ponies released were the same. I imagine you feel the same, Ponyland, when people talk about UK ponies and they're ones you grew up with (like the Mountain Boys).  spot on! I really get itchy when I hear "UK exclusive" all the time. I'm envious and happy for you for all the exclusives that you actually got. But some you shared, although not with USA. ...we know Truly and Cupcake don't belong to the same set as Buttons or Magic Star, and therefore cannot be lumped together easily with the Movie Stars, although I confess at the moment they are so on my page simply for convenience. The Movie Stars and the Pony Friends shared one pony together, Shady. And I can't really figure it out why since they where sold at the same time, or at least crossed paths with each other. But they really are two very different set's as the Movie Stars characters are based on the movie, a nd the Pony Friends aren't. They are just quite random characters put together. Half the set is based on earlier characters sold the year before (Posey, Hopscotch and Cherries Jubilee) and the other half is new characters from the pony series (Truly, Cupcake and Shady), Sure you could have said that they all are based on the So Soft range if it wasn't for Hopscotch. And at first Tootsie was pictured to be a part of this set and not Shady. So I really don't think that they could be classed as NSS ponies in the first place. (I'm going to use a lot of borrowed pic's now  ) Here is Tootsie a part of this set in the Swedish folder from 1987 visitors can't see pics , please register or loginBut The MOC ended up with artwork for Shady instead. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginIf we look at other "Pony Friends" set's in Europe on the same card (but with slightly artwork change) those new characters has been replaced with others. The spanish set got Cupido and Agua Limone with cherries Jubilee, Posey, Hopscotch and Snowflake. As you see the card is pretty much the same except for changing the pony artwork to other characters. And they where sold in the same timeframe around 1987. ( I have the Spanish MB Hasbro toy catalog ) Germany got their "Pony Freunde" set too in 1987, but with white italian Tootsie instead of Cupido (or Cupcake). (In Sweden we got the HK made white tootsie a year before this, in 1986, in our earth pony set) ...I do think a lot more time needs to be dedicated to documenting, promoting and explaining all the different lines that come together as "mainstream" ponies. It's one of my frustrations with the Scrapbook that I still feel I don't know enough about things I ought to know about, in order to properly put what was available here in the UK into full European context. Also, all the shuffling around I've had to do to accommodate our releases against other places . I feel the same, and have been researching for many years now on how the MLP range looked in different countries. When it comes to nirvanas I tend to collect European manufactured ones (like spanish, french and Italians) because I feel that they are closely associated with the HK made pony lines. I like finding clues in the back cards of those ponies, and I don't think they should be excluded from the european range just because they where manufactured locally and not in HK. Italian manufactured ponies was sold in many countries like normal ponies (we had italian made Peachy in Sweden for example, but in the "UK" box) Going back a little on topic, I did check Wind Whistler, and her eyeliner is black, not brown, so maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe it's not that clear cut. I was told my French Shady should have brown eyeliner, but she doesn't, so... I'm not sure if I have ever even seen a Shady with brown - my childhood one has black too. (And, honestly, the whole sticker/Movie Star thing may be a bit haphazard anyway. I don't know if I definitely had a Shady sticker as a child or if I didn't. I don't have one now, and I know one exists, but since I don't know exactly when I had Shady, and whether or not this batch you had that had none also came here, I can't be certain. I lost childhood stickers, as I've mentioned, so if I had one for Shady, it's gone. Hmm, I have heard rumors about the norwegian release maybe having black eyeliner (they could have been a batch earlier than ours, but without the sticker). But all Movie Stars had brown in Sweden. It is a kind of grayish dark brow though. I have had several Brown eyed Shadys passes trough my hands (and I have one in my collection, my sister has another) so she exist for sure. It is very clear when you have both versions and compare them. It could be that your Movie Stars stickers also got discontinued half way trough the year, and thats why they are so incredible rare! I have seen a lot more Mountain boy stickers than I have of the Movie Stars... It also happened with the Candy Cane Ponies here - we had the bordered box set of four and also the North American box set of six. As a child I put on a Christmas list "Molasses", which was a name NEVER put out in the comic here, nor should ever have appeared on a UK distribution release. Yet I put it all the same. I know that North American boxed Candy Canes were sold here, so that's my explanation for why I knew the name Molasses not Gingerbread at that time. I must've seen one in the shops and read the box. I have also found both Lemon Treats and Mint Dreams here - ponies we were never "officially" marketed. I think we will have to investigate what was the official range, and what got imported by local distributors from Hasbro inc in the US. I know some stores chains in Sweden imported things on their own, and didn't use PLAYMIX as their source. I'm using advertising from the PLAYMIX magazines to determine what was a officially sold pony and what was just imported unofficially (and as there is no record of random unofficially imported ponies I place them in the same category of "vacation ponies". We have A LOT of alternate Birth Flower ponies popping up here at flea markets, but they are a Danish release. But some stores at the Swedish coast near Denmark could have had them as well. For UK I have used the Hasbro Toy catalogues as reference when determining what was sold there and what wasn't. That's why I don't believe UK style box = UK sold pony and UK sold pony = UK style box  . I had Baby Princess Sparkle's box down among some others from the attic this afternoon and it says on it clearly "Distributed in the UK by Hasbro UK, a division of Hasbro Bradley..." but she was never sold here. It's there just in case - which makes it all the more muddy trying to determine issue stuff and why much much more attention needs to be directed towards figuring it out. That Baby Princess Sparkle box sounds really interesting! I have never heard of it being marked that way? I thought it was a US exclusive? Where and when did you get it? I have a BBE baby Cuddles box that is a US release, but with a UK sticker on it with a disclaimer that says "Offers not valid in UK" . I looks like a import.

I have found it better to let the water drip dry from the mane holes rather than the tail hole. Otherwise there will be tail rust if the tail is wet for a longer period. I usually wash my ponies upside down and I don't dip them in any water. That way the water that goes in to the ponies is only the amount that is in the hair strands and it will dry.

I'm going to put her up for sale soon, and I have a price in mind that is quite high. But I wanted to check if my estimate is correct or if I just should put her on ebay and hope for an bidding war, since I think she is very sought after in this kind of condition.  She has no brownish discoloration from the glue that holds her weight in place. I have opened her though an removed the glue and cleaned her from glue residues inside. Her weight has been put back inside her, and isn't rusty at all so it won't stain. (Absolutley no cancer spots, or any other kind of stains). She is very white, so white a pony in this type of plastic can be. (It isn't a snow white more like a milky white). Her tail fin tips has no rubs, but maybe some very faint scratches or it could be factory misprints. Only visible in a very close inspection. No scratches in blush or eyes. She has silky and uncut hair, and her stripe has still some pink in it, although it is a little bit more faded than the one I have in my own collection. This is her only "flaw" Oh, and no zit cream or any other harsh chemicals has been used to whiten her, so she will not bring you a nasty surprises. Cockies to anyone that can help me!
