Pony Wear
Year 4 (1985)
Baby Pony Wear with Pocket Pals
This Pony Wear came in sets
of two and was made specifically for Baby Ponies. A set includes 2 outfits,
two pals, and miscellaneous items, like hats and shoes, that go with the outfits.
Every outfit comes with a pocket sewn onto it, for a place for the pocket
pal to rest. Each pocket pal consists of two pom poms. Most of the outfits from
this year are fairly easy to find. They were released with the Baby Pony Wear
with Pocket Pals from Year 5. These
are the only outfits offered for babies, aside from Mother and Baby Pony Wear.
Another set of Baby Pony Wear with Pocket Pals were released in Year 5.
These outfits were all sold in the
U. K. as well. Most retained the same names as they had in the U. S., though
some were changed. Changed names will be noted below. Some of these
outfits were sold as International
Pony Wear in Argentina, minus the pocket pal.
Each outfit set came with
a flat body sticker depicting the babies wearing their outfits.
Clown Suit and Bathrobe
set
Clown Suit is a multicolored, striped, polka-dotted clown costume. It comes
with silver mask, four yellow bow shoes, white clown pal (blue hat, red lips
and nose, black triangular eyes, yellow pom pom on hat). Click
here to see the clown pal.
Bathrobe is a yellow and white striped robe with yellow collar and yellow
pocket. It comes with a yellow shower cap and orange duck pal. Click
here to see the duck pal.
How do I know that the shoes go with the clown outfit and not the Bathrobe?
Honestly, the yellow looks like it would go with the Bathrobe. However, if you
look at the character sketch on the card of the two baby ponies, the pony wearing
the clown outfit is wearing shoes.
The
card features Baby Shady and Baby Gusty wearing this outfit.
Dragon Suit and Sun Suit set
Dragon Suit is a yellow dragon costume with green and white gingham-checked
tail accents and pocket, green spines, and dragon pal (green body, light green
spikes, red tongue). Click here to see the dragon
pal.
Sun Suit (U. K. name, Sundress) is blue sun suit with floral pattern
(pink, blue, or purple flowers, green stems). Front half of Sun suit is solid
blue (straps and material in front) while the back half is floral. The pocket
is solid blue. It comes with a blue hat (with two ear holes) with floral patterned
underside, four white bow shoes, and frog pal (green body and arms, white eyes
with black pupils).
The
card features Baby Moondancer (or Glory) and Baby Lickety-Split wearing this
outfit. This
outfit was sold as International
Pony Wear, in the U. K. and other European countries with the card name,
Dragon Suit and Sundress.
Jumper and Snowsuit set
Jumper (U. K. name, Pinafore)(it is pictured below, right) is a multicolored,
striped (red, blue, yellow, and white) shirt with connective red jumper (with
a pink pocket). It came with four yellow bow shoes and with a white kitten pal
(white body, pink ears, dark pink mouth and nose, and black eyes). Click
here to see the kitten pal.
Snowsuit is a thick multicolored, striped (green, yellow, pink, purple,
and white) suit with a connected hood, white accent around the hooves, and a
dark pink pocket. It came with a snowman pal (white body, green scarf, black

Megan
and Pony Wear
Megan and Pony Wear was made specifically for use of Megan and one
adult pony. Each pack came as a set, one outfit for Megan and one for the pony
and outfits are theme based. Some of these outfits can be moderately difficult
to find intact, especially smaller pieces, like Megan's shoes.
Please note that I refer to the hair ribbons as belonging to Megan instead of being pony tail ribbons. The reason for this is that the drawn pictures on each card show Megan wearing the ribbon in her hair instead of the pony wearing it on it's tail.
An odd fact: I've heard from U. K. collectors that in the U. K. and other European countries sometimes Megan and Sundance are packaged wearing some of the outfits below.
Each outfit
set came with a flat body sticker depicting Megan and Sundance wearing their
outfits.
By the Sea (swimsuit outfits) Megan's blue bathing suit (with purple
and pink striped accents and purple straps), Megan's magenta hooded jacket (with
purple and blue striped accents), pony's blue hooded jacket (with purple and
pink striped accents and a pink bow on the chest), Megan's lavender sunglasses,
Megan's purple hair ribbon.
This is the only issue of Megan and Pony Wear that does not have shoes
or skates.
Country Jamboree (Country outfits) Megan's mint green overalls, Megan's
pink and white striped shirt with white collar, Megan's two pink shoes, Megan's
pink hair ribbon, pony's mint green saddle blanket (with sewn-on pink heart
with white lace trim and a pink and white striped trim with lace accents around
the bottom), four pink bow shoes.
Two of the three issues of Megan and Sundance also came with pink shoes for
Megan. The shoes that came with Country Jamboree appear slightly lighter than
the Megan and Sundance issue. Click
here to see the shoes that came with the original Megan and Sundance set,
for comparison of the two sets.
Flower Darlings (floral outfits) Megan's blue dress with white lace accents
on bodice and around bottom hem of dress (one white and yellow flower accent
on skirt of dress), Megan's flower lace headpiece, Megan's two white shoes,
pony's blue saddle blanket with blue ruffled accents (one white and yellow flower
accent on skirt of blanket), pony's four white bow shoes.
Ice Princesses (ski outfits) Megan's pink ski suit with white trim and
white fur, Megan's purple pants, Megan's two pink ice skates (white faux fur
trim) with pink blades, Megan's white hair ribbon, pony's pink ski suit with
white trim and white fur, pony's four white ice skates with pink blades. Both
jackets are hooded.
The pony's skates are the same as the ones that came with the adult skates of
Mother and Baby Pony Wear, Snow Angels.
Picnic In the Park (casual outfits) Megan's denim dress with adjoining
white shirt (red hearts and blue dots pattern covering shirt) with lace trim
sleeves and collar, Megan's two red shoes, Megan's red hair ribbon, pony's denim
saddle blanket with white accents (red hearts and blue dots pattern) around
the hemline of the blanket and the entire pocket area.
Sweet Dreams (Nightgown outfit) Megan's white nightgown (with small purple
flowers with green stems pattern; satin purple accents on gown and lace accents
around collar and outer areas), Megan's two purple shoes, Megan's purple hair
ribbon, pony's white nightgown (with small purple flowers with green stems pattern;
satin purple accents on gown and lace accents around collar and outer areas),
pony's four purple bow shoes.
The Megan and So Soft Sundance set also came with purple shoes for Megan. Click
here to see the shoes that came with the original Megan and Sundance set,
for comparison of the two sets.
Each back card features the My Little
Pony logo at the top of the card with the text Pony Wear in a ribbon below the
logo. On the card it features a drawn image of a pony wearing the particular
outfit that comes with the set. By Year 4, standard Pony Wear began to become
more complicated, with sets like Strike up the band, with uniform, hat, skirt,
shoes, and baton. I would say that Neon Lights is probably the most common of
the four sets; the others can be a little more difficult to find.
Each
outfit set came with a flat body sticker depicting the pony wearing her outfit.
City Kids (casual 80's outfit) yellow shirt (with orange, pink, and
blue shapes; some triangular shapes), neon orange belt, blue metallic skirt
(orange thread lines), pink purse (pink ribbon strap and yellow button), four
yellow bow shoes.
Note that the purse came with other Pony Wear sets also, like one of the
Pony Packs, for example.
The card

Having a Luau (Hawaiian outfit) aqua green Hawaiian shirt with purple
and orange parrots sitting on a green leaves, deep yellow yarn "grass"
skirt, white mesh hat (with yellow trim and a pink flower on it), purple purse
(with orange handles and purple ribbon strap), four white bow shoes.
The card

Neon Lights (80's outfit) one piece jumpsuit (bright orange shirt overlaid
in white mesh with a bright pattern; also there is a yellow tie under the collar)
and an adjoined neon yellow skirt, black belt with gold belt buckle, four yellow
bow shoes. Please note that you cannot see the neon yellow portion of
the skirt from the way the card item is displayed.

Up the Band (band uniform) gold band jacket with red and gold striped trim,
