1988: Twice as Fancy Ponies
MERRIWEATHER
Purple earth pony with yellow mane and tail, rainbows and clouds symbol spread over back and haunches, repeated on cheek.
Well, you can't get much more My Little Pony than rainbows - and this must have been Hasbro's idea when they put Merriweather into production. Though in some ways her symbol is a little larger than some of the others, it repeats just about enough for her to get away with it.
One of the earth ponies in the line, Merriweather appears to be one of the easier Twice as Fancy ponies from this year to find second hand.
She was never sold in the UK.
