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.

• Takara is also the company that came up with Transformers, they licensed it to Hasbro.

Takara Adults

• Two adult Characters are named, Pinky and Milky. Pinky is pink with pink hair. Milky is yellow with pink hair. They are both girls.

Ochame Fashion

Ochame Fashion Backcard

• Aside from Pinky and Milky there were also four "ochame fashion" dolls. They don't appear to be named? Collectors may refer to them by shortened versions of their descriptions, ie Kuru, Sara, Ami, and Fuwa.

-"kurukuru-hair" or "whirling hair": pale green body with teal hair

-"sarasara-hair" or "silky hair": very pale body with yellow hair

-"amiami-hair" or "braided hair": pale blue body with blue hair

-"fuwafuwa-hair" or "fluffy hair": pale pink body with darker pink hair

Takara Babies

• Only two baby Ponies made, Lili (pink with pink hair) and Popo (yellow with pink hair).
• The Baby ones are called "kawaii ponii" or "cute pony"
• There more baby sized fakies based on Takara ponies than real Takara baby ponies.
• Japanese Takara My Little Pony Commercial
• ID Fake vs real Takara babies
• image collections 2 3 45

• 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.
