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.

  • Two of the Charcters are, Pinky and Milky. Pinky is pink with pink hair. Milky is yellow with pink hair. They are both girls.
  • 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"
  • Takara is also the company that came up with Transformers, they licensed it to Hasbro.
  • 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
  • There were at least 11 different outfits that could be purchased separately for the dolls 1
  • 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.
