Generation 1
Takara
In 1985 Hasbro licensed "My Little Pony" to the Japanese toy company Takara. The result was "Mai Ritoru Ponii - Osharena Poni" or "My Little Pony - Stylish Pony." They were marketed as poseable dolls that you could dress up and style their hair. There are 8 known different dolls, and at least 11 different outfits that could be purchased separately.
- Takara is also the company that came up with Transformers, they licensed it to Hasbro.

- Woosie's Takara Info (originally here http://members.aol.com/brandiwst/index.html), was a site I saw referenced to many times for Takara pony details. However I guess it was taken down about four years ago. But thanks to my favorite time travel device, The Way Back Machine, I have resurrected the info (minus the pix) and put it up here. Beware I didn't edit it really, so there are weird links and broken jpegs everywhere.
