Glitter Island
In Year 6, My Little Ponies could explore the wonders of far off Glitter Island, following the adventurous pony Clipper in search of the legendary Sparkle Ponies. Along with this new boy pony and the set of six sparkle ponies, several other ponies and pony friends were reissued. They included Megan and So Soft Sundance, Baby Cuddles (with Beddy-Bye Eyes) with the Baby Buggy.
Clipper
Clipper is a baby boy pony, with a chubby, light blue blue body, white hair (short spiky mane, standard-length tail), and blue eyes. His symbol is a red and white sailboat and he has six white freckles on his nose.
This offer is known for its odd photo of Satin 'n Lace, showing her in the traditional standing pose (not trotting), with a pink body. She is wearing her bridal gown, so her symbol cannot be seen in the photo and her eyes appear to be either purple or dark blue. It is believed that the pony shown in this offer is actually the Collector Pony version of Cotton Candy, with her (straight, standard-length) mane curled. This offer went through Year 7.
Sparkle Ponies
The Sparkle Ponies are a set of six mysterious ponies with dark see-though bodies and filled with a bits of silver glitter. They also have tinsel strands in their (straight, standard-length) hair and each came with a gold-trimmed ribbon (some are noted below), making them sparkle all over; they also each came with a brush or comb. Their symbols all had to do with space, and they have a tiny interpretation of it under either their left or right eye. Though they were available though this mail order in Years 6 and 7, they were also available to buy in the store in Year 7. Most were identical, but some had different color hair. The store versions also had no symbols under their eyes. *Note: There is a section on the Year 7 Ponies page for store-bought Sparkle Ponies, citing the individual variations, which are also listed below with each individual Sparkle Pony.

Sunspot (Earth pony) is orange with pink hair w/gold tinsel and sea green eyes. She has a smiling sun (dark pink & yellow) as her symbol and a similar sun (with no rays) under her left eye.
Star Hopper (unicorn) is sea green with white hair w/gold tinsel, and pinkish-purple eyes. She has a pinkish-purple & green U.F.O. symbol with a little ball (pinkish-purple) from it under her right eye. When she came out in stores, she had yellow hair and her body was a bluer than her original green.
Napper (Earth pony) is yellow with green hair w/gold tinsel, and lavender eyes. She has a green crescent moon sleeping on a purple cloud (surrounded by purple stars) as her symbol and a smaller cloud and star under her left eye. She came with a yellow ribbon. She had purple hair (still gold tinsel) when she was sold in stores. |
Star Dancer (Earth pony) is dark pink with blue hair w/pink tinsel, and bright blue eyes. She has two happy stars (one yellow, one white w/blue faces) as her symbol and one yellow star (with no face) under her left eye.
Sky Rocket (Earth pony) is dark blue (can turn greenish over time) with red hair w/blue tinsel. She has a large purple & pink rocket as her symbol and a smaller one (with less detail) under her left eye. She came with a pink ribbon.
Twinkler (pegasus) is dark purple with dark purple hair w/blue & gold tinsel (body fades before hair, making colors look different by comparison over time), and pink eyes. She has several tiny yellow & dark pink stars and dots stars as her symbol and a few of the same under her right eye. She came with a yellow ribbon.
In Year 8, there were Baby Sparkle Ponies, however, they were not the offspring of any of the Sparkle Ponies.
My Little Pony Fashion Tote
In Year 7, Pony Make-Up was the latest thing in My Little Pony Fashion. In keeping with that, the stylish My Little Pony Fashion Tote was offered to hold all you pony make-up and other accessories. It is all pink with a shoulder strap, zipper opening and the My Little Pony logo with the phrase "Always In Fashion" on the front. The actual tote bag is slightly different from the one shown, being that the rainbow is all yellow with no clouds and the lettering is in dark blue. The strap was also said to be adjustable, but is actually a fixed length.
*New photo of Mt Little Pony Fashion Tote coming soon!
It's a Beach Party!
This incredible offer was the only one of its time to offer an entire line of entirely new ponies. In 1989 (Year 7), three sets of ponies were sold through this offer with a beach party theme. While the ponies look of the ponies were new, some of their names and faces were familiar, as one of these sets was the Baby Pearlized Ponies, pearly new versions of the Year 3 Baby Ponies. Other pony sets included the unique Pretty Mane Ponies and the pair of Baby Sister Ponies. According to the insert, the Pretty Mane Ponies were said to be only available through this offer, but they appeared on others, throughout year 9. The Baby Pearlized Ponies were also sold in several other future offers, including one with another beach theme. The Baby Sister Ponies were offered another time as well.
Pretty Mane Ponies
The pair of Pretty Mane Ponies have special hair that is their 'mane' attraction. They are Earth ponies but with their bodies are in the same mold as the Flutter Ponies, but with no wings on their backs. They have long, straight two-tone manes, but instead if having the traditional vertical stripes, they have horizontal streaks, with one color blending in to the other. They have solid colored (stan) tails and long forelocks. Each Pretty Mane Pony came with a (star brush, but no hair ribbons.
Scribbles is white and has a has dark pink tail with a yellow & dark pink-streaked mane. She has blue eyes, and Her symbol is dark pink and yellow straight lines, jagged lines, and circles. Her star brush is yellow.
Dabble is pink and has purple tail with a purple and green-streaked mane. She has dark pink eyes, and her symbol are purple & green jagged lines. Her star brush is blue.
Baby Sister Ponies
The Baby Sister Ponies are two baby unicorns sold as a pair. They came with one white flower brush, and a hair ribbon each.
Li'l Cupcake is the smaller of the two, being a newborn pony. She is peachy-pink with blue (straight, standard-length) hair, and cerulean blue eyes. Her symbol is a cupcake (pink base, white topping) with a pink cherry on top. Her hair ribbon is light pink.
Li'l Sweetcake is blue with pink (straight, standard-length) hair and has a fancy cake as her symbol. Her head turns, in the same style as a Peek-A-Boo Baby Pony. Her hair ribbon is cornflower blue.
Baby Pearlized Ponies
The Baby Pearlized Ponies are shimmering versions of the Year 3's set of Baby Ponies with a pearl-like luster covering their bodies. Some were identical to the originals, while others had dramatic color changes. Ponies who once had glittery symbols did not, being that their entire bodies were covered with the pearly coating. The unicorns did not have colored streaks in their manes. Earth Ponies no longer had freckles on their faces. While some of the original versions had curly hair, all of the Baby Pearlized Ponies have straight hair. Each Baby Pearlized Pony came with a hair ribbon.

Baby Cotton Candy (Earth pony) is pink with light pink hair, and lavender eyes. Her symbol is several white odd-shaped dots, and her hair ribbon is pale lavender.
"My Little Ponyland"
This short-lived 1989 offer was a combination of new ponies, reissues of (and new versions of) older ponies, and more appearances from familiar mail order ponies. Finally, a groom named Coat 'n Tails for bride pony Satin 'n Lace was introduced. Several ponies from favorite My Little Pony playsets were sold (only) as a set called Playset Ponies. Clipper and the Sparkle Ponies were offered again, as was Baby Cuddles (Beddy Bye-Eyes) with the Baby Buggy. The offer contained a fun activity, with hidden pictures that could be revealed by rubbing them with a pencil. Being such a limited offer, the new ponies featured in it would be released in later, longer running offers, through Year 9.
Coat 'n Tails
Shown with his bride, Satin 'n Lace (left; by himself below), boy pony Coat 'n Tails was offered for the first time. He is in the same mold as the Big Brother Ponies. Coat 'n Tails is dark blue with blue curly (strandard-length) hair with a white
streak in his mane. He has pink eyes, and his symbol is five white bow
ties. He wears a white bow tie around his neck. In later offers, his name was changed to Tux 'n Tails. He was reintroduced in the "It's a Birthday Party" offer, sold by himself, and later with Satin 'n Lace, and only as a set.
Playset Ponies
The release of the set of Playset Ponies was a great idea for My Little Pony collectors who has missed out on purchasing the expensive, corresponding accessories in Years 2, 3, and 4. However, while some of the ponies were almost identical to the originals, others were different in color and/or mold. This offer coincided with the reissue of the Show Stable and the Dream Castle in Year 7, which came with no ponies, unlike the originals from Year 2.
Sprinkles (pegasus), who came with the Waterfall is slightly different from the original. She has a pink body (instead of lavender), blue hair (straight, standard-length), and blue eyes. Her symbol is six blue ducks.
Lemon Drop (Earth pony) originally came with the Show Stable. There are no changes; she is pale yellow with light purple hair (straight, standard-length), and light purple eyes. Her symbol is several purple drops.
Majesty (unicorn) from the Dream Castle is also the same, with a white body and blue hair (straight, standard-length) with a white streak in her mane. She has purple eyes and five blue glittery flowers (four petals) as her symbol.
Baby Tiddley-Winks (Earth pony) originally came with the Lullabye Nursery. She is like the Year 3 version (same mold), before she had Beddy-Bye Eyes. I am not sure how similar her colors are, compared to the Year 3 version. Playset Pony Baby Tiddley-Winks is pink with (straight, standard-length) pale pink hair, and periwinkle eyes. Her symbol is a white bib, decorated with a light blue heart. Unlike the original, she has no freckles on her nose.
Baby Half Note (Earth pony) is very different, since she does not have Beddy-Bye Eyes like the original from the Baby Bonnet School of Dance. She is now in the same mold as Baby Tiddley-Winks. She is lavender with curly (standard-length) aqua hair, and aqua eyes. Her symbol is a pair of purple ballet slippers tied with a pink bow.
Treasure Hunt
Sent to My Little Pony collectors in the mail, this smaller offer brought back previously issued ponies as well as a newly-rereleased item. Rainbow Ponies Parasol and Confetti were offered again, but just these two, unlike earlier offers. It gave collectors yet another chance to get Baby Cuddles (with Beddy-Bye Eyes) and the Baby Buggy. The Baby Bonnet School of Dance was available for mail order for the first time. No ponies were shown to said to come with the school.
The booklet included an activity where you could search for clues by rubbing hidden pictures with a pencil. Though not part of the offer, the front cover (shown) pictures Shady.
