Generation 1

Takara

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. There are 8 known different dolls, and at least 11 different outfits that could be purchased separately.

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

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.

The Takara line as described by the packaging and catalog pages.

Only some of the toys are known by collectors to exist for sure, these items are noted down below. But here I will go ahead a layout everything that there is any evidence for whatsoever.

Pinky Doll -at least three releases: Regular -purple dress with small hearts on it with a yellow tie.; Regular -yellow dress; Hair Designer

Milky Doll -at least three releases: Regular -pink dress with a white lace hem and a light yellow bow at the neck; Regular -light pink and white checkered dress; Hair Designer

Lily and Popo Dolls -sold together, three releases: Baby Carriage Set (dolls don't have drain holes, probably); Bathtub Set (dolls have drain holes); Poseable Set (poseable, other other Popo and Lily dolls aren't, and they have pacificers in their mouths)

Ochame Fashion -four different dolls, sold separately: "kurukuru-hair" or "curly hair"; "sarasara-hair" or "silky hair"; "amiami-hair" or "braided hair"; "fuwafuwa-hair" or "fluffy hair"

Lily and Popo

Only two baby ponies were made, Lili (pink with pink hair) and Popo (yellow with pink hair).
The babies are called "kawaii ponii" or "cute pony"
They were most likely sold together in two playsets. The first a carriage playset, and the second a bath tub playset.

"sarasara-hair" or "silky hair"

Ochame Fashion Backcard

Aside from Pinky and Milky there were also four adult sized "ochame fashion" dolls. Ochame translates as playful or mischevious.

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

Kisekae Dress

"osharena ponii no kisekae doresu" or "Stylish Pony [Changeable Doll] Dress"

There were at least 11 different outfits that could be purchased separately for the dolls 1

Fakie Babies

various fakies from various angles

details of a fakie found in California

details of a fakie found in Finland

the bottom of this fakie has no marks

Real Takara babies will have clear copyright information on their bottoms
Fakies were produced by several companies, and while most have no information on their bottoms, a few have fainter takara copyright information because they were apparently cast from a genuine pony.
There more baby sized fakies based on Takara ponies than real Takara baby ponies.
