-The [[:Category:G1_Earth_Ponies#Year_Two_.281983-1984.29|Earth Ponies]] are ponies that most closely resemble real-life horses. They don't have horns or wings. Two new poses were introduced with this set – [[Bow_Tie_Pose#US|the Bow-Tie or "Shy" pose]] and the [[Bubbles_Pose|Bubbles or "Sitting" pose]]. The [[:Category:G1_Earth_Ponies#Year_Two_.281983-1984.29|Earth Ponies]] are featured in a commercial with the [[:Category:G1 Unicorn Ponies|unicorns]] and [[:Category:G1 Pegasus Ponies|pegasus ponies]] – [https://youtu.be/IzVW661JRX4?si=nBPGrL6BmumiIa2X seen here] – in which the new poses are called the "Turning" and "Sitting" poses.
+There are six [[:Category:G1_Earth_Ponies#Year_Two_.281983-1984.29|Earth Ponies]] in this set, with [[Blossom#Concave_Feet_Blossom|Blossom]] and [[G1_Cotton_Candy#Concave_Feet_Cotton_Candy|Cotton Candy]] being rereleased from the previous year.
-Lyrics are as follows, sung to the familiar tune:
-''My Little Pony, unicorn,''
-''A magical pony with beautiful hair.''
-''My Little Pony, pegasus,''
-''Imagine my pony flying through the air.''
-''The new little ponies, in pretty poses,''
-''Sitting and turning and prancing too.''
-''My Little Pony, My Little Pony,''
-''My pony, I love you.''
-''My pony, I love you.''
-This first set of [[:Category:G1_Earth_Ponies#Year_Two_.281983-1984.29|Earth Ponies]] was simply called "My Little Pony." The term "Earth Pony" was later coined in the collecting community to describe them. [[G1 Spike|Spike]] calls [[Baby Lickety-Split]] an "Earthling" when comparing her to the [[:Category:G1 Pegasus Ponies|pegasus ponies]] in ''[[My Little Pony: The Movie|My Little Pony: The Movie (1986)]]''.
-<blockquote>''"But they're Pegasus Ponies! You're just an Earthling. You can't fly!" – Spike''</blockquote>
-Four of the Year Two Earth Ponies, excluding [[Blossom#Concave_Feet_Blossom|Blossom]] and [[Seashell|Seashell]], are featured in the ''[[My Little Pony Special|Rescue at Midnight Castle/Firefly's Adventure]]'' TV pilot episode. [[G1_Applejack#Year_Two_.281983-1984.29|Applejack]] and [[G1_Bow_Tie#Year_Two_.281983-1984.29|Bow-Tie]] are main characters, while [[Bubbles|Bubbles]] and [[G1_Cotton_Candy#Concave_Feet_Cotton_Candy|Cotton Candy]] are background characters with non-speaking roles.
