Category:G1 My Little Pony
Many pony sets were simply labeled as "My Little Pony" at the time of sale. Early '80s earth ponies are some of the most popular examples. It wasn't until the online collecting community developed that they were given different titles to distinguish them.
Contents
Year One (1982-1983)
Collector Ponies
The very first set of ponies, the Collector Ponies were sold under the "My Little Pony" set name umbrella. The "Collector Ponies" term was not coined until the online collecting community formed in the mid-late 1990s. Please refer to the Collector Ponies page for detailed information about them.
Year Two (1983-1984)
Earth Ponies
Two new poses were introduced with this set – the Bow-Tie or "Shy" pose and the Bubbles or "Sitting" pose. The Earth Ponies are featured in a commercial with the Unicorn and Pegasus ponies in which the new poses are called the "Turning" and "Sitting" poses.
Year Two My Little Pony Commercial
Lyrics are as follows, sung to the familiar tune:
My Little Pony, unicorn,
A magical pony with beautiful hair.
My Little Pony, pegasus,
Imagine my pony flying through the air.
The new little ponies, in pretty poses,
Sitting and turning and prancing too.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony,
My pony, I love you.
My pony, I love you.

[Instrumental where "My Little Pony, My Little Pony" typically plays]
Those are the new little ponies, there.

I love to comb their beautiful hair.
