My Little Ponies and Friends (U.S.) (Q-Z)
Year 10 (1991)
Year 10 was My Little Pony's last year to be released in
the U. S. It would also be a year of some of the wildest My Little Pony
designs: mermaids, ponies with zebra-type stripes, ponies covered in a
flowers and lace design, talking ponies, and several sets with wild tropical
colors. The brilliant creations of Year 10 were bold to say the least;
however, they lacked many of the accessory extras of years previous. Many
ponies came only with a single comb and very few came with accessories other
than this. There are exceptions to this rule however, like the Birthday
Pony and Bridal Beauty. Many of these sets weren't sold in the U. K.Also unlike all other years of the My Little Pony line,
many Year 10 sets came in sets of 3. Many came in sets of six until Year 8
then sets of four became popular.Soda Sippin' Ponies (ringlet curls, ice
cream symbols, sweet smell) Click
here to see Mint in Package Photographs of Soda Sippin' Ponies and for a
complete accessory listing.Soda Sipping Ponies were special scented ponies, similar
to the Sweetberry
Ponies or Sundae
Best Ponies, with bouncing spiral curls like the Rainbow
Curl Ponies, except the soda pony's hair is shorter. There were only two of these ponies made, both being very
similar to one another. They are similar colors, one pink and one
lavender; they also have the same pose in common. Note the differences in
the symbols, which is probably the easiest way to tell them apart.Each pony comes with a special soda with a clear straw
(with colored balls inside). The straw fits into the pony's mouth and when
her sides are squeezed, it appears that she inhales the row of colored
balls. So it appears that she is sipping the soda. You can see
each pony's soda below her actual photograph. The
U. S. set of Soda Sippin' Ponies were not sold in the U. K.
Chocolate Delight (earth pony) is pink with aqua, pink, yellow curls and
has a
chocolate ice cream soda with a purple glass surrounded by sprinkles.

pose and has yellow eyes. She is chocolate scented.

Sweet Kisses Ponies (tall, slender bodies,
lips that change in cold water) Click
here to see Mint in Package Photographs of Sweet Kisses Ponies and for a
complete accessory listing.Sweet Kisses Ponies are in the Sweetheart
Sister mold, but they are lacking the
earring that is common to most Sweetheart Sisters. These ponies have
tinsel in the mane, but none in the tail and have romance related
symbols. Each pony also has lipstick on the muzzle of the pony that
changes color with the lipstick applicator (pictured right). The lipstick that each pony came with is pictured
below, each having a different colored base and a pink top. It has a
removable top, which had a red felt piece underneath to change the color of the
ponies' lips. Cold water makes the lips appear and warm water makes the
lips disappear. Note that sometimes (after time and wear) lips will
change to the lipstick form and stay that way. The only other ponies to come
with this accessory were the U.
K. and European Sweet Kisses Ponies. Ironically, these ponies share
the same names, but are not alike. The U. S. set of Sweet Kisses Ponies
were not sold in the U. K.
Happy Hugs is pink with blue hair and blue tinsel; she has that
change
dark pink in cold water. Her symbol is a purple tube of lipstick and lips.
She came with blue-based lipstick. She is in a strutting pose and has
turqouise eyes. Thanks to Melissa for use of this
photograph, please visit her site at the Royal
Fortress.

Sweet Talkin' PoniesClick
here to see Mint in Package Photographs of Sweet Talkin' Ponies and for a
complete accessory listing.Sweet Talkin' Ponies were special ponies that could speak
when their
sides were squeezed. The mechanism is inside of the stomach and there is a
speaker underneath the stomach (see thumbnail pictured right).Only two were produced, a purple and pink, larger than the
average pony, with thick eyelashes (close up pictured below). They share
the same strutting pose. Each also has bi-colored hair. Though their
pose is unique (due to the open mouths), they are very similar to one of the
poses of Precious Pocket Ponies. Pocket Ponies Bubblefish and Sweet Pocket
also share the same pose with the Sweet
Talkin' Ponies (except for the open mouth). The difference of the open
mouth is obvious when you think about it, talking ponies need to have their
mouths open. However, the pose is still a late pose, unique to Year 9 and
Year 10.
Pink Sweet Talkin' Pony (earth pony) is pink
with purple and pink mane and tail. Her symbol is two blue ponies talking in a blue
heart. When her sides are squeezed she says, "I'm pretty",
"I love you", and "Comb my hair." She has blue
eyes. She has no formal name in the U. S., but does in the U. K.
Purple Sweet Talkin' Pony (earth pony) is purple with pink
and purple hair and has two
blue ponies talking on a telephone. When her sides are squeezed she says, "I'm pretty",
"I love you", and "Comb my hair." She has pink
eyes. She has no formal name in the U. S., but does in the U. K.
They are not
formally named in the U. S., but names in the U. K. are Chatterbox (pink) and
Talks a
Lot (purple). All foreign ones translate to the same names.
Also, there is also Spanish speaking Sweet Talking Ponies (Palabritas) and German
speaking Sweet Talking Ponies. They are the same as the U. S. versions,
but speak different languages. Sundazzle Ponies (slender tropical earth
ponies with crimped, color change hair)Click
here to see Mint in Package Photographs of Sundazzle Ponies and for a
complete accessory listing.Sweet Kisses Ponies are in the Sweetheart
Sister mold, but they are lacking the earring that is common to most
Sweetheart Sisters. Each Sundazzle Pony shares several
characteristics: bright body colors and hair colors, eye shadow above the
eye, crimped hair, tropical symbols, and color change streaks in their
hair. The eye shadow was common with Tropical
style
ponies. Also the color change hair was not a new invention, several
ponies also had this feature, including the Sunshine
Ponies and Twice
As Fancy Sundance in Year 7.
Please note the example at the right. Think of
the hair in three layers: top white, middle purple, bottom white.
The top white layer is the layer that changes color. The white hair
changes to a dark pink color. Sometimes the hair will turn pink and not turn back to
white (with age and wear). You can also see a close up of the eye shadow on the
example on the right. The U. S. set of Sundazzle Ponies were
not sold in the U. K.
Sunbeam is hot pink with chartreuse and white hair; her symbol is a
sailboat sailing near a blue sunset in front of an island with palm trees.
She is in a strutting pose and has green
eyes and yellow eye shadow. Thanks
to Inglemist for use of these photographs.
Sunglory is yellow with blue and white hair; her symbol is an pink and
purple
umbrella
with purple water rippling in the background. She is in a standing pose
and orchid eyes with pink eye shadow. Thanks to Inglemist for use of
these photographs.
Sunsplasher is bright orange with purple and white hair; her symbol is a yellow
sun wearing blue sunglasses. Her hair is crimped and she has blue eyes and
yellow eye shadow. She is in a strutting pose.
Teeny Pony Twins (have a small symbol
on leg or face, and a one or two on hooves, other small differences)
Click
here to see Mint in Package Photographs of Teeny Tiny Twins and for a
complete accessory listing.Teeny Tiny Twins came from the original Teeny
Tiny Ponies, except in doubles. There were three sets of Teeny Tiny
Twins, which all have the basic Teeny Tiny features.
This is Teeny Tiny Pony Honey Pie
(she is not a twin), but she is an example of how small the teeny tiny ponies
are.
Teeny Tiny Ponies are smaller than even newborns with
flattened noses. They are the smallest of the original My
Little Pony line. Each has shortened legs and faces. The eyes
slightly differ from the standard baby pony eyes (double sets of top eye
lashes). The U. S. set of Teeny Tiny Twins were not sold in the
U. K.Each twin in a set has special features that separate
it from its twin. Those differences are listed with the information about
each set. Here is a list of the differences:
Bootsie and Tootsie (earth ponies) are purple with
yellow hair
and have yellow and blue booties tied with a blue ribbon as their symbols. Bootsie has a bootie on her
left leg and a 1 stamped onto her hoof. Tootsie has a blue bootie
on her right cheek and a 2 stamped onto her hoof and Tootsie's bootie have
turquoise trim and Bootsie's booties do not. She has pursed lips (mouth
slightly open). They have light aqua eyes.
Rattles and Tattles (earth ponies) are blue with
red (not an exact color of red, nor is it an exact color of pink) hair and have
purple rattle
symbols.
Tattles has a bow on her right leg (pictured left) and a 2 stamped onto
her hoof. Her rattle has a hole in the handle. She has pursed lips (mouth
slightly open). Rattles has one above her left eye on her forehead
(pictured right) and a 1 stamped onto her hoof. She has a solid color
handle on her symbol. They have lavender eyes and curly hair.
Rattles head is turned slightly to the right and Tattles is turned
slightly to the left.
Sniffles and Snookums
(earth ponies) are pink
with white hair and have a
yellow smiling flower symbol. Snookums has a blossom on her right leg
and a 2 stamped on the hoof. Her flower symbol has leaves on the stems (she is
pictured above). Sniffles has a small blossom on her cheek and a 1 stamped onto the hoof. Her flower
symbol has no leaves on the stem. Thanks to Inglemist for use of these
photographs.
