Sea Ponies were sea horse like My Little Ponies.  They were designed to be bath toys. Some had weights in their tails so that they would float right side up at the surface of the water.  Some came with floaties to help them float, others came with clam shells that had suction cups that stuck to the sides of the bathtub.

The Sea Ponies were first released in [[:Category:Year Two (1983-1984)|Year Two]] and were meant to be bathtime toys. Sea Ponies resemble [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seahorse seahorses]. Only two sets of adult Sea Ponies were released, the last in [[:Category:Year Three (1984-1985)|Year Three]], but there were many other sets of Baby Sea Ponies in the years that followed.

There are both adult and baby sea ponies.

Adult Sea Ponies have metal weights in their tails to help them float upright in the bath. Each Sea Pony also has a shell stand with a suction cup on the back so that they could be stuck to the tub walls. Baby Sea Ponies each include a [[Floats|tube float]] in the likeness of a water animal to keep them afloat.

The Sea Ponies have acheived cult favorite status in recent years, thanks to their catchy ''"Shoo-be-do!"'' call that originated in the [[My_Little_Pony_Special#Songs|"Call Upon the Sea Ponies"]] song from the ''[[My Little Pony Special|Rescue at Midnight Castle/Firefly's Adventure]]'' pilot episode.

The first set of six Baby Sea Ponies debuted this year and would see many other sets in the following G1 years. They bear no symbols and, unlike the [[:Category:Year_Three_(1984-1985)#Baby_Ponies|Baby Ponies]], do not seem to be children of the adult Sea Ponies. They are featured in the same commercial as the Sea Ponies.

The Sea Ponies were first released in Year Two and were meant to be bathtime toys. Sea Ponies resemble seahorses. Only two sets of adult Sea Ponies were released, the last in Year Three, but there were many other sets of Baby Sea Ponies in the years that followed.


Adult Sea Ponies have metal weights in their tails to help them float upright in the bath. Each Sea Pony also has a shell stand with a suction cup on the back so that they could be stuck to the tub walls. Baby Sea Ponies each include a tube float in the likeness of a water animal to keep them afloat.


The Sea Ponies have acheived cult favorite status in recent years, thanks to their catchy "Shoo-be-do!" call that originated in the "Call Upon the Sea Ponies" song from the Rescue at Midnight Castle/Firefly's Adventure pilot episode.

Year Two (1983-1984)

Sea Ponies: US

Sealight's Backcard

The first set of Sea Ponies is made up of three ponies. All three are in the same pose, known as the Wavedancer pose. They bear no symbols and have a single-colored mane.

Lyrics are as follows, sung to the familiar tune:


My Little Pony, Sea Ponies,

When I'm takin' a bath, she's so much fun.

Reach out and take her out of her shell,

Then I comb her hair, and when I'm done,

I just can't wait 'til it's time for me

To take my bath with her again.

My Little Pony, Sea Ponies,

I love her like a friend.

I love her like a friend.



All three Year Two Sea Ponies are featured characters in the Rescue at Midnight Castle/Firefly's Adventure pilot episode.


Each Sea Pony includes a shell brush, shell comb, ribbon, and clamshell stand, as well as an order form for Ember.

The UK's Sea Ponies are three different characters, despite Wavebreaker and Wavedancer looking alike.


Each Sea Pony includes a shell brush, shell comb, ribbon, and clamshell stand.




Year Three (1984-1985)

Whitecap, Sea Breeze, and Sea Mist
Wave Jumper, Sand Dollar, and High Tide
Year Three Baby Sea Ponies

Year Three brought another set of adult Sea Ponies, but it would also be the last that we would see of them. Baby Sea Ponies were introduced this year, and Hasbro would go on to create several more sets of them throughout the years.

High Tide’s Backcard


This year's Sea Ponies are a set of six with a new pose and new conch shell stand. Three of the six Sea Ponies also feature a "mane stripe", a feature common among the unicorns. Their commercial features both them and the Baby Sea Ponies.

Lyrics are as follows, sung to the familiar tune:


My Little Pony, new Sea Ponies,

Each one comes with a pretty new shell.

My Little Pony, Baby Sea Ponies,

They're just little babies. They don't swim very well. (Possibly incorrect.)

They float in the water. (indecipherable) fun.

I can brush and comb their pretty hair too.

New Sea Ponies and Baby Sea Ponies,

They're like a dream come true.

They're like a dream come true.



Sand Dollar, Sea Mist, and Whitecap are all featured in the second animated special Escape from Catrina.


Each Sea Pony includes a shell brush, shell comb, ribbon, round, puffy sticker, and clamshell or conch shell stand, as well as an order form for the Birthflower Ponies.




Baby Sea Ponies

Backstroke's Backcard

The first set of six Baby Sea Ponies debuted this year and would see many other sets in the following G1 years. They bear no symbols and, unlike the Baby Ponies, do not seem to be children of the adult Sea Ponies. They are featured in the same commercial as the Sea Ponies.

New Sea Ponies and Baby Sea Ponies,

Only Backstroke appears in the second animated special Escape from Catrina, but Sea Shimmer and some of the babies from future sets are featured in the later TV series and feature film.


Each pony includes whale brush, ribbon, round, puffy sticker, and tube float, as well as an order form for the Birthflower Ponies.




Year Four (1985-1986)

North American & UK Pretty & Pearly Baby Sea Ponies

The US and the UK each have a set of six Pretty & Pearly Baby Sea Ponies, with only Beachcomber in common. These ponies, like the previous years' sea ponies, bear no symbols, but their bodies have a pearly sheen.

Lyrics are as follows:

My Little Pony, new Baby Sea Ponies,

My Little Pony, Baby Sea Ponies,

I love them with me when I take a bath.

Baby Sea Ponies, pretty and pearly,

So cute to look at [possibly incorrect], they make me laugh.



There are eight different characters in total for this set. Only Beachcomber is exactly the same for both sets. Ripple, Sun Shower, and Water Lily are in different poses between the sets.


Each pony includes a fish comb or whale brush, ribbon, water animal-shaped float, and a special offer order form. North American ponies include a scented body sticker. UK ponies include a round, puffy sticker.
