Sea Star is yellow with lavender hair and a pink and lavender duck float.

Water Lily is pink with green hair and came with purple with green frog float.

These ponies were sold exclusively in Germany and Austria.  To see both versions of Nightlight and Raindrop, and Starshine and Skydancer, click on the  Germany link. 

Night Light (earth Pony) is blue with a white crescent moon and two yellow stars.  She has sea foam/aqua green, aqua blue, chartreuse, coral hair (starting from the forehead going back).  There are two versions of Nightlight.  Pictured below is the large symbol version, there is also a smaller symbol version (close up pictured right).  Her German name is Nachtlicht.  She is in Applejack's pose.

Raindrop (earth Pony) is bright pink with a white rain cloud with a yellow sun underneath.  She has green, blue, pink, coral hair (starting from forehead going back). Her German name is Regentropfen.  She is in Applejack's pose.

Skydancer (earth pony) is yellow with glittery green birds, and is in Pose's pose.  She has green, blue, pink, coral hair (starting from forehead going back).  Her American version is a Pegasus.
The American versions came out in Year 2.  Her German name is Himmelstänzer.  She is in Posey's pose.

Starshine (Pegasus) is white with a gold sun as her symbol.  She has green, blue, pink, coral hair (starting from forehead going back).  She is in Heart Throb's pose instead of her original pose with her head forward and foreleg lifted.  The American versions came out in Year 2.   Her German name is Sternenglanz.  She is in Heart Throb's pose.
    There are two variations of her, one with a painted symbol (above) and one with a metallic symbol.

Sea Ponies (U. K. and European)

Sea Ponies were special seahorse type ponies, with the standard My Little Pony head shape.  Each had a ball type weight in it to balance the body and make it actually float in the water.  There is a small round hole behind one of the ears to release water (close up pictured right).  Each came with a special display shell, which had suckers that will attach to your bathtub.  Also each came with two combs and a ribbon.

Each Sea Pony has comb-able hair, with a mane much like that of any regular pony.  These versions have a forelock.  They also have colored fin tips that match their hair color.  

The copyright date on Sea Ponies  is on the bottom side of the pony, on the tail area (close up pictured right).  All of these versions have straight hair (unlike those released the next year) and clam shells.

These ponies were sold in 1985 in the U. K. and Europe.  Two of them have similar U. S. counterparts, however, the set of three is unique.  Each has unique style and accessories.  There are also Italian variations of these Sea Ponies, which have thick eye lines.  Each of the U. K. ponies came with a clam shell, shell comb and original comb and a ribbon.  Some U. S. versions came with a swirling conch shell and the U. S. versions came with a different comb.

There are two sets of U. S. versions of Sea Ponies in addition to these U. K. versions, the first edition Sea Ponies and second edition Sea Ponies.  There are baby Sea Ponies as well, including some U. K. only Baby Sea Ponies.

Sea Spray is yellow with pink hair and comes with a purple shell.  The U. S. Sea Pony High Tide is similar to her, but they are different ponies.  I have included a photograph of each for comparison.  U. K. Sea Spray has her head pointing in a forward position and U. S. High Tide has her head pointed up.  Some call this a variation or some say it's a totally different pony.

Surf Dancer is light blue with yellow hair and comes with a pink shell.

Wave Breaker is pink with blue hair and comes with a yellow shell.  She looks the same as American Wave Dancer made in Year 2 with a different color shell.  The set comparison shows them with different colors, however, this is just due to the U. K. version's fading.  They are essentially the same colors.

Sea Ponies (Italian)

Italian Sea Ponies have distinct eyes that distinguish them from regular Sea Ponies.  They have note-able eyes with thick lash lines.  They seem to all have the blue Italian eye characteristic.   I believe the pony pictured below is also Italian (but I have no idea who she is).   The body size is also smaller than the standard U. S. versions and they have Italy etched into the bottom of tail on their bodies.

As you will note, the Italian versions are very similar to the U. K versions above, even with accessories and packaging.

Tootsie

Tootsie (Italy and UK; white) (earth Pony) is white (instead of yellow) with blue hair and her symbol is pink lollipops. She has blue eyes.

There are two versions of white Tootsie, Hong Kong and Italian. The only differences that I can spot is that one has Hong Kong on the hoof and the other has Italy stamped on the hoof. Hong Kong version was sold in the UK and probably other places as well. I believe the HK version is pictured right; the Italian version comes with a blue flower brush. The regular U. S. version is green; this version was also sold abroad.
