Crumpet: Crumpet topped off her tea party with a game of croquet. She wiggled her nose and made roses bloom into croquet balls! (*from Adventures in Ponyland game card)

It was a warm spring day – just right for Crumpet’s afternoon tea party. The ponies strolled to the party wearing dainty gloves and carrying pretty parasols. Beneath a shady tree, bluejays helped Crumpet set out the warm teapots and put the finishing touches on the sweet cakes made from flower petals and honey. “One lump or two?” Crumpet asked her guests as she added heart-shaped sugar cubes to the creamy cups of tea. When they were finished, Mimic suggested playing a game of croquet. Crumpet wiggled her nose happily. Croquet balls made of roses magically bloomed at the ponies’ feet, while rainbow-striped mallets appeared by their sides! When Bouquet knocked a ball into a nearby stream, a friendly turtle brought it back and joined the party. It was a splendid afternoon indeed! (*from backcard)

Twilight: “Welcome to my costume party!” Twilight greeted her guests, dressed like a movie star in a glamorous gown. “Who’s that in the space suit?” Locket asked from behind a colorful clown mask. The ponies were having fun guessing the new arrivals and sipping punch when, suddenly, the lights went out! “Time for some midnight magic,” Twilight giggled. She wiggled her ears and all the candles on the table flickered onto the floor. They danced a beautiful waltz as the punch bowl bubbled a merry tune. Delighted with the surprise, the ponies joined in for a midnight dance by candlelight! (*from backcard)

Bangles: Bangles woke to see the sun lifting its yellow head to the world. The morning dew was sparkling like brilliant diamonds in the early sunlight. Each row of pretty flowers resembled strands of colorful beads that wrapped around the garden like a giant necklace. Amazed at this jewel-like landscape, Bangles headed outdoors to enjoy the view. At the edge of the garden she spotted a shiny red object brighter than anything she had ever seen. “It’s a ruby from Majesty’s crown,” she said, recognizing it immediately. With a quick spin and a leap, Bangles flew over to Dream Castle where she found Majesty gloomily searching the courtyard. “Looking for this?” Bangles asked laughingly. Delighted that her ruby had been found, Majesty thanked Bangles by presenting her with a necklace made of heart-shaped diamonds and shimmering pearls. Bangles felt just like a princess wearing this royal gift. (*from backcard)

Angel: As Angel splashed in the ocean waves, she saw strange winged fish swimming beside her. “Who are you?” she asked. “We’re angelfish. Come play with us down below!” they answered. Suddenly, a huge bubble surrounded Angel and lowered her deep into the ocean. Angel and her friends floated through a magnificent castle made of pretty pink coral and shimmering white sand. They played tag with some friendly zebrafish in a seaweed jungle that tickled Angel’s nose. Exploring a watery cave, they glided past beautiful flowers that grew as high as trees. Then they rode with the sea-horses on a glittering seashell carousel until it was time for Angel to go home. “Come back soon,” shouted the angelfish as Angel waved good-bye through the waves. Angel could hardly wait to spend another day in the playground under the sea. (*from backcard)

Tic-Tac-Toe: Tic Tac Toe loves to play games, and most of all she loves to play Tic Tac Toe. But because she is so good at it the other ponies take it in turns to play against her.

The waves gently rolled back and forth against the shore as the ponies tossed a ball in the foamy water. “Catch,” Mimic called to Tic-Tac-Toe who was sunbathing lazily on the beach. Tic-Tac-Toe raised her head just in time for the ball to bounce off her nose and into the middle square of a tic-tac-toe board Galaxy had drawn in the sand. Tic-Tac-Toe blinked her eyes and the ball sprang up into the sky, again landing in the center of a tic-tac-toe board formed by the clouds. The ponies laughed as the ball jumped from square to square above them, sprinkling colorful cloud dust that glittered as it fell. To her surprise, the ponies suddenly pulled Tic-Tac-Toe up to the sky and placed her right in the center square, shaping the clouds around her into a giant heart! It was a winning move indeed. (*from backcard)

Tic-Tac-Toe also had European releases.

Mimic: Mimic was playing on the beach when a giant wave washed up, leaving a bottle with a piece of paper inside it at her feet. “It’s a treasure map!” she exclaimed. The first clue was a baby bottle. “The Lullabye Nursery!” she guessed. At the Nursery, Mimic found the second clue, a pair of pink ballet slippers, and raced to the Baby Bonnet School of Dance. There she discovered a green feather tied with a yellow ribbon. Mimic was soon joined by a parrot who cawed, “Pieces of eight – pieces of eight.” “That sounds like the Paradise Estate!” Mimic shouted. But when she arrived at the Estate, no one was there. Just then, hundreds of balloons fell from the sky and everyone shouted, “Surprise – Happy Birthday Mimic!” What a wonderful treasure, Mimic thought as she joined the party. (*from backcard)

Mimic is one of the all-time most sought after ponies by G1 collectors as she had a limited production run in the US and no international releases, though she is not the “rarest” pony out there.

Locket: Locket has a special bunch of keys which means that she can open doors to lots of adventures. All of the other ponies gather round when Locket uses one of her keys -waiting to see what surprise is in store.

“Could you hold these keys for me, Locket?” Milky Way asked with a secret smile, handing three keys to her curious friend. “I wonder what they open,” Locket thought to herself. After trying the keys in every door without any luck, she spotted Milky Way’s magic jewelry box on the dresser. Excitedly, she inserted the first key into the lock. It opened! She raised the lid and found a smaller box inside. Her eyes were twinkling wildly as she opened the smaller box with the second key. Inside was a golden locket that glowed as bright as the sun! When she put the last key into the locket the room filled with shooting stars and colorful rainbow arches! “I see you opened my magic locket,” Milky Way said peeking into the room. The two friends laughed and hopped on a shooting star for a whirling ride around the sky! (*from backcard)

Locket also had a European release.

Quackers:  Quackers gazed at the droplets of water dancing down the window pane. “Come play with us,” they called. Quackers donned her raincoat and hat and hurried outdoors. “Race you to the Waterfall,” the raindrops laughed. To Quackers surprise, little ducks were swimming happily in the pond as raindrops sprinkled around them. Quackers had an idea! She blinked her twinkle eyes and the raindrops magically changed into all the different colors of the rainbow. Pink, blue, green and yellow raindrops fell everywhere! The duckies laughed with delight as they ran back and forth through the colorful rain shower. Quackers joined her little friends in the pond, splishing and splashing away the rest of the afternoon. (*from backcard)

Bright Eyes: Bright Eyes likes to visit the Lullabye Nursery. She makes the alarm clock do a magical dance until all the Baby Ponies fall asleep. (*from Adventures in Ponyland game cards)

Everyone was having so much fun playing games and telling stories with Bright Eyes at the Lullabye Nursery, that the hardly noticed it was almost bedtime. “We want to play some more,” the babies yawned. Bright Eyes knew exactly how to make them go to bed. “Gather ’round,” she said as the babies formed a circle around her. She placed an alarm clock in the middle of the circle and tapped her foot. The soft tic-toc of the clock grew louder and LOUDER, until the clock began to spin like a top and the alarm bell rang a merry ring-a-ding-ding! When it stopped, the clock danced with each laughing pony, whirling and twirling her around the room until she was so tired that she willingly climbed into her crib. “Sweet dreams,” Bright Eyes called as she tucked the little ones into bed and blew them a goodnight kiss. (*from backcard)

Bright Eyes is also a very sought-after Twinkle Eyed pony with collectors.

Speedy:  Speedy loves to dash about on her magical roller skates which let her skate up in the sky as well as on the ground. And if the Baby Ponies have been good, Speedy gives them a ride as a treat.

The ponies decided to spend a rainy afternoon exploring the attic of the Paradise Estate. As they dug through the boxes, Speedy discovered a pair of blue roller skates with a note attached that HANDLE WITH CARE. “What could be so special about an old pair of Skates?” she wondered. As soon as the rain stopped, Speedy and the other ponies raced outdoors to try out the skates. Carefully, she stepped into the skates when, suddenly, she was speeding along the ground, faster than a rocket! She zoomed up a hill and into the air, whooshing through a surprised cloud, before floating down to where Bouncy stood, laughing with delight. “What a ride,” Speedy exclaimed. Then she asked with a big smile, “Who’s next?” (*from backcard)

Speedy is a re-release from year 4.

Dancing Butterflies: Mr. Sun raised his sleepy head when Dancing Butterflies entered the enchanted forest to practice her newest ballet routine. “It’s so quiet here,” she thought as she donned her slippers, about to try a very difficult dance step. The leaves on the trees cast a magical shadow that looked just like a curtain rising above a stage. Dancing Butterflies took a deep breath, arched her back and stepped high above the ground as if she was wlking on air! She spun around – faster and faster – until her yellow mane wrapped around her like a lace shawl. “You did it,” a little voice called from the trees. “You’re as graceful as a butterfly!” another voice added. Dancing Butterflies looked up to see hundreds of beautiful butterflies watching her. Just then, the wind whistled a sweet melody that started her whirling and twirling again. “Come join me,” she said to the butterflies, who were already following her lead. (*from backcard)

Dancing Butterflies had European releases, some in a different pose.

Love Melody:  Love Melody likes to give fancy parties and tonight promised to be the grandest celebration of all! She decorated the courtyard of the Dream Castle with tall vases of flowers and satin ribbons that swayed in the breeze. In the center of the yard was a wishing well. As each guest arrived, she gave her a tiny heart-shaped pebble. “Drop this in the wishing well when you hear the clock chime three times!” she told her guests. Everyone was having so much fun sipping cherry punch and dancing to the music, that the three musical chimes took them by surprise. Following Love Melody’s instructions, they tossed the pebbles into the wishing well. Suddenly, giant fireworks exploded from the wishing well, filling the sky with magnificent colors that spelled out the name of each guest. The ponies cheered at the beautiful sight. It was a grand party indeed! (*from backcard)

Love Melody had several European releases which stayed very true to her colour scheme and pose, and an Argentinian release which departed from both.

Sweet Tooth: Early one morning, Sweet Tooth followed a sunbeam to a field of magical flowers. She gathered colorful powder from the flower petals and hurried back to her kitchen. “What a surprise this will be!” Sweet Tooth giggled as she sprinkled the powder on her latest batch of homemade lollipops. Just then, her friends appeared at the door. “I smell lollipops,” Bangles smiled. Strange things began to happen as the ponies licked the lollipops! “My lollipop is filled with my favorite strawberry taffy!” Taffy cried. “Mine turned into a basket of balloons!” Up, Up and Away exclaimed. “Look – my lollipop burst into a candy necklace,” Bangle laughed as she placed it around her neck. Then Sweet Tooth blinked her eyes and her own lollipop bloomed into a forest of lollipop trees! This was Sweet Tooth’s best batch of lollipops yet! (*from backcard)

Sweet Tooth had several European and Argentinian releases in varying poses; her name in the UK is Lollipop.

Sugar Berry: “Let’s pick berries for my berry pie,” Sugarberry said to Locket one sunny afternoon. They donned their straw hats and skipped to the big berry patch behind the Waterfall. Sugarberry just couldn’t resist nibbling a few berries as she picked them off the bushes. “Let’s take a rest,” Locket urged, standing beneath a shady tree. When they compared their berry baskets, Locket’s basket was full but Sugarberry’s was almost empty. “You ate all your berries!” Locket giggled to her friend. The rainbow heard their conversation and sprinkled a few colorful raindrops on the bushes. Suddenly, the drops burst into beautiful pink, yellow, green and blue berries! Sugarberry picked the berries as fast as she could, filling her basket to the top! “These berries will make the prettiest pies ever!” she said happily. (*from backcard)

Possibly the most loved pony of this set, Sugar Berry had several European releases and also a Brazilian release which all stayed faithful to her colour scheme. In Argentina she was released as a  blue-haired pony in the “shy” pose. In the UK Sugar Berry’s name is Strawberry Fair.

Milky Way: “What a rainy day,” Crumpet sighed, peering at the grey sky above. “We need something to get rid of these nasty clouds.” Milky Way had an idea! She touched a puddle with her unicorn, and the rain suddenly burst into a glowing arch of silver stars! “It looks like a stairway to the sky!” Crumpet exclaimed as they ran up the path, leaving a trail of stardust behind them. Even the sun beamed with extra light, giving everything a sparkling glow. When all the grey clouds left, Milky Way and Crumpet waltzed down the stars to the ground. As dusk fell over Ponyland, Milky Way tapped the path with her unicorn, filling the sky with shooting stars that lit up the sky. It was a lovely night indeed. (*from backcard)

Milky Way had several European releases and also notably, a release in Brazil where she was re-imagined as an earth pony in the rearing pose such as the 3 rearing ponies in Year 4’s So-Soft line. Her name in Portugese translates as the beautiful Rain of Stars.

Up, Up and Away: Up, Up and Away was so busy tying bunches of colorful balloons to baskets that she didn’t notice the other ponies watching her. “What are you making?” Love Melody asked her curiously. “It’s a surprise!” Up, Up and Away answered her friend with a giggle. “Hop in,” she told everyone as she finished attaching the last balloon. She blinked her eyes and the baskets rose high into the sky. Then Up, Up and Away wiggled her nose and the baskets formed a circle, whirling and twirling, just like a floating ferris wheel! The ponies laughed and cheered, enjoying the ride. As Up, Up and Away joined the spinning wheel, the rainbow gently lifted her basket to the top and released all the balloons into the sky for a happy ending to a wonderful ride. (*from backcard)

Up, Up and Away had European releases, though none seem quite as brilliantly coloured as her original dark pink US version.

Wingsong: Flutter Ponies bring good luck, on every single day, and when you play with pony friends, Wing Song will watch you play.

Wingsong whistled a merry tune as she soared through the sky to spread her good luck. In a meadow behind the Waterfall, she spotted a little girl crying. “What’s wrong?” Wingsong asked. “I lost my grip on my big blue balloon and it flew away,” the girl sighed. Wingsong winked at the girl and leaped high into the sky with a flap of her magical wings. She found the balloon napping on a silver cloud and quickly returned it to the little girl. The little girl smiled as Wingsong flew off to answer the wind’s call for someone else in need of her help. (*from backcard)

Wing Song also had European releases.

Tropical Breeze: Flutter Ponies bring good luck, no matter what life brings, and when you need a helping hand, Tropical Breeze flutters her wings.

The soft summer winds tickled Tropical Breeze’s nose as she gracefully flew into the early morning air. Fluffy white clouds smiled at her and parted to let her by. The sunbeams giggled and spakled off her silky mane, happy to see her again. Even the treetops reached up to touch her magical wings in the hopes that some of their power would rub off. But Tropical Breeze leaped high and laughed. It was no secret that everywhere she flapped her beautiful wings, a shower of good luck was sure to follow. (*from backcard)

Wind Drifter:  Flutter Ponies bring good luck, with love which never ends, and everytime you need her help, Wind Drifter helps her friends.

Wind Drifter fluttered through the blue sky to see what good luck she could bring. In a green park, children sat sadly in the field. They couldn’t fly their pretty new kites because there was no wind! At a still pond, toy boats could not move without a cool breeze to fill their sails. Smiling Wind Drifter fluttered her wings, sending a gentle breeze that lifted the kites high into the sky and set the sailboats driftingon the pond. The children’s laughter and cheers filled the air as Wind Drifter flew happily on her way. (*from backcard)

Cloud Puff:  Flutter Ponies bring good luck, in everything they do.  No matter what misfortune brings, Cloud Puff will care for you.

As Cloud Puff drifted through the sky, she met some fierce grey rainclouds. Below them, children were playing games in the bright sunshine. Cloud Puff nudged the clouds away from the children and searched for a place where the rain would help. She spotted a sad garden with droopy flowers and curling stems. Fluttering her wings, she gently pushed the clouds above the garden, sending the rain down to the waiting flowers. With just one drop, the garden bloomed with brilliant flowers, ready for the children to pick. (*from backcard)

Cloud Puff also had European releases.

Salty: It was a beautiful day to go sailing. Salty put on his sailor hat and hopped into his little boat. The cool wind caught the sail and carried him onto the deep blue seas. Dolphins swambeside his boat and told him exciting tales of pirates, treasures and deserted islands. Suddenly, he saw a strange boat sailing ahead of him. “A pirate ship!” cried Salty. The boat stopped at a deserted island and a pirate carried a mysterious bundle off the boat. “A treasure chest!” thought Salty eagerly. He followed the pirate onto the island, chasing him through the trees to a sunny clearing. Just then, Salty laughed loudly. “Quarterback! I thought you were a pirate!” Salty said to his friend. “And that looks like a pirate’s treasure!” giggled Salty, spotting Quarterback’s picnic basket. The two friends stayed on the island all day, nibbling treats and playing pirate games. (*from backcard)

Quarterback: Mr. Sun beamed warmly, and the trees rustled a happy song with the twittering birds. It was such a lovely day that Quarterback went for a long walk to visit his friends, the Flutter Ponies. He watched as the baby Flutter Ponies practiced flying in the blue sky. Quarterback applauded as a little Flutter Pony gracefully circled her mama and landed again. Suddenly, Quarterback remembered he was supposed to play in the big football game today! “I’m late for the game!” he cried to his friends. The Flutter Ponies gently picked him up and whisked him to the football field. As Quarterback landed on the field, he caught the football and raced to the goal post. “Touchdown!” exclaimed Tex. The ponies cheered in the bleachers and laughed with delight at Quarterback’s exciting entrance. (*from backcard)

Suddenly, the Rainbow reached through the door and gently carried Tex to a spectacular desert! Pretty sand dunes glowed in bright pinks, yellows and greens. Tex strolled across stone bridges that arched over dazzling canyons and sparkling rivers. He played a fun game of tag with some friendly prairie dogs, then he sipped cool lemonade in the shade of a prickly cactus. At the end of the day, the Rainbow carried Tex back to Ponyland. The ponies listened eagerly to Tex’s trip to the desert. It was indeed a magical hat! (*from backcard)

Tex had European releases. His cowboy hat is highly sought after.

Slugger: It was the last inning of the Pony baseball game, and the score of the two teams was tied. The ponies crowded the bleachers, cheering happily and nibbling on popcorn and peanuts. Slugger got ready for his turn at the bat. “Bases are loaded, SLugger. We need a homerun!” said Steamer. 4-Speed’s famous fast ball zipped past Slugger before he had time to swing! “Strike one!” cried Mimic, the umpire. A second ball whizzed by Slugger. “Strike two!” called Mimic. The ponies watched breathlessly as 4-Speed pitched the final ball. With a loud crack, Slugger hit the ball, sending it so high it tickled Mr. Sun’s nose! “Home run!” laughed Slugger while the ponies ran to home base. Slugger wiggled his nose, and the baseball burst into dazzling fireworks to celebrate the winning play! (*from backcard)

Slugger was also released in the UK as part of the Adventure Boy set. His name was First Base.

Steamer: “Whoo! Whoo!” whistled Steamer as he pushed his toy train around a toy track. “I wish I could drive a real train,” he sighed. The Rainbow heard Steamer’s wish and sent a gentle shower of magical rainbow drops onto the toy train. Suddenly the train grew and grew until it was as big as a real train! “All aboard!” called Steamer to the ponies. The ponies eagerly sat on the velvet seats as Steamer climbed into the engine car and Quarterback hopped into the caboose. Steamer blinked his eyes, and rainbow-colored railroad tracks appeared! The ponies peeked out the windows as the train rode past Paradise Estate then up to the Rainbow for a ride in the sky! At the end of the ride, Steamer stopped the train at the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe, where a delicious ice cream cake shaped just like Steamer’s magical train awaited them! (*from backcard)

The night of the party, Locket tied shiny satin ribbons in the trees, prepared delicious treats, and gave pretty party favors. “But where is 4-Speed?” she wondered. Suddenly, she heard a loud rumbling sound, and a colorful truck drove into the center of the party! 4-Speed hopped out of the truck and opened the doors. From inside the truck, rainbows and shooting stars burst into the air, filling the sky with bright designs. Next, hundreds of candy trucks appeared! The cabs were made of taffy, the trailers had chocolate sides and the windows were swirling candy canes. Lemondrop headlights shined brightly as licorice wheels rolled over the ground. “What a wonderful surprise, 4-Speed!” laughed the delighted ponies. (*from backcard)

Princess Primrose: Princess Ruby can never make up her mind just what she wants to do next. In fact, she is so undecided that she never has the time to finish one thing before she starts the next. Her dragon, Sparks, spends all of his time following her around and finishing off the tasks which she has left uncompleted.

A beautiful butterfly floated past Primrose while she strolled to the Castle. She raced after it, admiring its pretty colors and delicate wings. It floated over hills and through fields, causing Primrose to run in a wavy line trying to keep up. At last, it stopped in the garden to rest. Primrose sat nearby, watching the butterfly dance from flower to flower to find the softest petal. Then Primrose heard someone calling her name. “Here you are!” exclaimed Princess Sparkle. “You were supposed to help me decorate the Castle.” The two ponies skipped back to the Castle with their lovely new friend leading the way.

One hot sunny day, Princess Serena spotted Princess Tiffany sitting by a little pond looking very, very sad. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “The warm sun dried up the pond,” Tiffany sighed. Serena knew how to make her friend happy again! “Tiffany, go find some clouds to fill the pond with raindrops.” Tiffany flew into the sky and soon returned with two big rainclouds.

Princess Starburst fell asleep dreaming of a faraway land where marshmallow clouds floated above a castle made of chocolate bars. Lollipop trees lined the banks of a gurgling root beer stream. As Starburst enjoyed the spectacular sight, she spotted some children playing by the stream. “Come play with us,” they called to her, licking luscious ice cream cones.

But because Spiny is rather clumsy, sometimes it’s the Princess who has to look after him.

She packed a picnic basket then went to the garden to pick some flowers, but they were gone! She headed for the woods anyway, but no one was there when she arrived! “Mr. Owl! Bunny Rabbit!” she called. No one answered. Suddenly she heard a rustling noise nearby. She followed it and to her surprise, her friends had planned a tea party especially for her! “But how did you know I was coming today?” Sparkle asked. “That was easy,” laughed Mrs. Skunk. “We picked your pretty lilacs and knew you’d follow the scent!” (*from backcard)

The Baby Ponies huddled in their cribs as heavy rain and crackling thunder rumbled outside. Royal Blue knew the storm would frighten the babies, so she quickly thought of a plan to soothe them. She raced through the grey clouds and gusty winds to where the babies wiggled under the covers. “No need to be afraid,” Royal Blue laughed. She told them a bedtime story about a faraway land she once visited, and gave each of them a steaming cup of warm milk. Then they had a rough and tumble pillow fight.

The night of the Pony Ball arrived! Princess Tiffany smoothed her gown as she prepared to make her royal entrance. But as she reached the staircase, her heel caught the hem of her dress, and she stumbled down the stairs! Everyone rushed to help, but all Tiffany could do was cry. Suddenly, Princess Starburst had an idea! She waved her magic wand, and Tiffany’s teardrops turned into sparkling diamonds that covered her gown.
