Summary
Two 'My Little Pony' toys. Both are made from plastic, with nylon manes and tails. They have printed blue eyes (large and with long black eyelashes) and a printed design on their backs: the larger pony has pink hearts and the smaller one has blue and pink flowers. One is much larger than the other. Each pony has a copyright date and place of manufacture impressed into the soles of its feet. The larger pony is coloured pale peach and has a pink mane and tail. The tail is plaited and has an orange ribbon bow. It is wearing a lilac plastic bridle and saddle, a full set of four pink plastic shoes with moulded bows at the front, and a yellow plastic 'straw' hat, which has a moulded bow at the back, moulded flowers at the front (painted pink) and holes for the pony's ears to poke through. The smaller pony is coloured pale lilac and has a two-coloured mane and tail in darker lilac and turquoise. This tail is also plaited. Total number of items is 9.
Provenance
