1988: Sweetberry Ponies

BLACKBERRY PIE

Purple unicorn with yellow mane and tail, slice of fruit pie symbol.

Blackberry Pie was the unicorn from the Sweetberry set. I don't know whether it was a variation or not, too, but I have seen her with darker body and more vivid yellow hair than my own one seems to have.

In the UK comic she made an occasional appearance. One memorable story was about her and an enchanted wheelbarrow that made the front cover of a comic edition and featured Raspberry Jam, Player and Cherry Treats as well. The story was quite a significant one, for Blackberry Pie's antics with the wheelbarrow inadvertantly led to the discovery of the Petite Ponies by some of the newborn ponies from that year. For some unknown reason, Sweetberry Ponies made a very late debut into the Pony Comic, not really featuring until 1990.

Blackberry Pie was sold worldwide, though in North America she was known as Boysenberry Pie.
