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.
- Japanese Takara My Little Pony Commercial
- ID Fake vs real Takara babies
- Bathtub Playset
- 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.
- Catalog Pages
Pinky and Milky
- Two adult Characters are named, Pinky and Milky. They are twins. Pinky is pink with pink hair. Milky is yellow with pink hair. They are both girls.

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.
Ochame Fashion
- Aside from Pinky and Milky there were also four adult sized "ochame fashion" dolls. Ochame translates as playful or mischevious.
- -"kurukuru-hair" or "curly 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
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
- 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.
- Re-haired Takara Fakie Babies
- Takara Fakie Babies
