The My Little Pony Dream
Beauties line were made by Hasbro in Year 8, 1989. They are considered
part of the My Little Pony line because they were packaged with the My Little
Pony registered trademark on the box. However, their body type is considerable
different from the standard pony. Each came boxed with a brush and barrette,
and a few sets came with special accessories. If
you are interested in the accessories that came with Dream Beauties, please Click

were advertised as being "All grown up My Little Ponies." They are
adult plastic horses with various colors and each having the standard MLP symbols.
Basic Dream Beauty Stats:
They were released only in Year 8.
Collectors common abbreviation, DB.
There are six different sets, 18 ponies total.
The International versions were basically the same, I know of no known variants.
Two commercials were released regarding Dream Beauties, they pictured real horses
in different pastel colors.
I list them as uncommon items, most more common versions run between $15.00-$35.00.
The most common confusion about the Beauties, probably the spelling of the actual
names.
They
came in three different poses:
Poses are similar and often hard to distinguish, hopefully this simplified
explanation will help you.

front hooves are placed flat against the ground. Click

Fake Dream Beauties: When purchasing Dream Beauties for your
collection, please take extreme care in your selection. There are some
very convincing replicas of Dream Beauties that differ only by the contour shape
of the head, etc. Here are a few tips for telling the differences: Firstly,
the most common obvious giveaway will be to look for the beads along the mane
of your Dream Beauty, if the horse you have doesn't have them, it's most likely
a fake. Other things to look for: they will have some type of symbol, will only
come in the three poses above, will have the distinctive Dream Beauty eyes.
