G1 Firefly (Year Two)

Firefly is G1 Pegasus Pony. She was first released as part of the Year Two (1983-1984) Unicorns and Pegasi set. Firefly is considered one of the most famous characters in the franchise due to her heavy inclusion in pony comics and merchandise and appearing in the very first animated special.

Names: English: Firefly; German: Feuerfunke

She was the star of the My Little Pony Special, which was named Rescue at Midnight Castle for the animated series released in the late 1980s on VHS as part of a presentation pack with a new version of Firefly under the title of Firefly's Adventure.

Year 2 Firefly - US Backcard Story

G1 Firefly's US Backcard

Firefly jumped on the wind and, soaring higher and higher, thought she might look for the rainbow. She knew it loved to play hide and seek. "I wonder where it's hiding today?" she thought. The wind whispered the answer in her ear. "Thanks for the ride!" Firefly said as she jumped off. She danced across the sky, sailing from cloud to cloud. Finally she saw the snow-crested mountain peaks. Nestled in the deep mountain valley was the rainbow. Firefly laughed because under the rainbow was Blossom, sound asleep!

UK Fact File Story

Firefly loves to race across the sky. Moving gracefully from cloud to cloud, she dances on her graceful hooves and sails on the wind. She often chases the rain and searches among the clouds for the pony's special friend, the rainbow.

Tag Info

Firefly loves magical adventures ...chasing the clouds and sliding down the rainbow! But most of all she loves to have someone to care for her. Someone to feed her and comb her mane and tail. How about you?

After being referenced in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode, Testing Testing 1, 2, 3 as the founder of the Wonderbolts, Running Press released a commemorative toy and picture book of Firefly. The toy is smaller than the original G1 releases and comes with a comb.
