Generation 1

Takara

"マイリトルポニー" ⇒ mai ritoru ponii ⇒ My Little Pony

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.


  • 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.

[adj.] smartly dressed; stylish; fashion-conscious

[verb] to dress up; to be fashionable

Before you get too excited, only about 1/4 of the toys from the catalog have been confirmed to have actually been produced. And only a handful total have been found. So, you cannot expect to be able to collect these at all.
