Little Pretty
Little Pretty is a set of kitty and puppy toys made in a very similar style to My Little Pony. I.e. featuring lots of pastel colors, symbols (cutie marks), brushable manes and/or tails. They are very similar to Curly Kittens (Palace Pets), except that Curly Kittens do not have symbols. They were manufactured by Mattel during 1989-1991. [1]
