1990: Starlight Baby Ponies

BABY STELLA

Coral baby earth pony with yellow mane and tail (threaded with pink, gold, blue tinsel), stars and lines symbol. Shiny body.

Baby Stella - or at least, the pony I grew up calling Baby Stella - was possibly one of the most luridly coloured babies of her age. Certainly she wasn't a character you'd look past in a hurry!

There has long been a lot of confusion over identity between her and her set-mate, Baby Night Song. Though she was always identified as Baby Stella in the UK comics, and as far as I know, in the stores she was sold that way, it is absolute fact that she was also sold on cards marked 'Baby Night Song'. I believe, also, that in the Netherlands the translated versions of the names (where used) also indicated this baby was supposed to be Night Song. (Thanks to Cherrycake for this information!)

Really, you can choose which you prefer - although the majority of the online collecting community seems to recognise her as Baby Stella (probably because of the overwhelming number of comic-brainwashed UK peeps!)

She was sold in the UK and Europe, but not North America. However, she had a "twin" in the Sparkle Pony set called Baby Starflower - see her page for more information!
