1991: Rainbow Baby Ponies

BABY RAINRIBBON

Lavender purple baby unicorn with dark pink, yellow and blue mane and tail, rainbow sun and cloud symbol

I have great nostalgic memories of this, my very first ever baby unicorn pony. She always reminded me of the Rainbow Pony, Windy, and, as a child, I would nickname her 'Rainy'. The reality is, though, that there is no connection between the two. Baby Rain Ribbon's symbols are painted and she had three, not four colours in her hair.

In the UK comics, Baby Rain Ribbon used to call rainbows 'rain ribbons'.

As with the rest of this set, there are at least two distinct versions of this pony. The one above is my childhood one, and was bought new here in the UK. The other version, more common in the US, has a silkier type of hair, thinner rooting and a slightly lighter colour of body. Both are made in China. My childhood one is pictured on the right of the picture below:
