1986-7: So Soft Ponies

HIPPETY HOP

Magenta pegasus pony with pale pink mane and tail, white rabbits symbol. FLOCKED.

Hippety Hop was the only one from the second lot of characters to have a place in the final 1987 So Soft Pony set. Re-released with the shorter flocking style that this set sported, it is often possible to distinguish which group your pony came with by careful inspection of the fuzz ;)

Mine, pictured above, is definitely from the original release in 1986.

Hippety Hop was shown on her original backcard as a unicorn, though this was corrected by 1987's new card design. Her hair is pale pink, but often fades to white. This is not a variation - just tragic sun damage. Despite her re-release in 1987, Hippety Hop was never sold as anything other than a So Soft Pony, and she was never sold in the UK.
