1987: Pony Friends
KINGSLEY
Dark pink lion with dark pink mane and tail, blue pawprints symbol
To confuse the issue, Hasbro released Kingsley the lion (or possibly lion cub - I'm still not entirely sure if these guys are adults or babies, since their marketing seems self-contradictory). She is a vibrant pink in colour, with very curly hair. She has a traditional lion's mane - but she is NOT a boy. Her backcard clearly states her as being a "she". So obviously bright pink lionesses can have manes too - or something...
Sold as a "Baby animal friend for all your ponies", she is among the more common of the Pony Friends theme.
She was never sold in the United Kingdom.
