1988: Twice as Fancy Ponies

MUNCHY

Yellow earth pony with coral mane and tail, hot dogs, burgers and gherkins (pickles) symbols spread across haunches and back -repeated on cheek.

Munchy is two things - one of the weirdest and one of the most sought after Twice as Fancy Ponies. Unlike most of her set-mates, she was produced in a relatively recent mould and was one of the Earth Pony characters of the new line.

What irony possessed Hasbro to make a pony (naturally a herbivore) with meat-based fast food as a symbol, noone quite knows. But of all the Twice as Fancy Ponies, Munchy definitely has the oddest symbol.

Her hair is not quite the same shade of coral as that used by Cherries Jubilee - probably a result of different batches of dye. She was never sold in the UK and is one of the more sought after members of the set.
