1988: Happytails Ponies
ROMPER
Purple with pale pink mane and tail, two pink rabbits symbol, aqua ring round tail.
First thing to say is that my camera did not pick up Romper's hair colour very well. It should be pink (same colour as Squeezer's), though it is prone to fading and any Rompers with white hair are not variations - they're damaged :)
The next thing to add is that the clip in Romper's tail is original to her - it;s the only loose example I have of a Happytail Pony tail clip, so I left it in for pictorial purposes. Unlike any other pony clip it goes around the tail, rather than clamping it together. Kinda weird...LOL ;) And shaped like a bird.
Romper is one of the more common Happytails ponies, though she does not appear to have been sold through official channels in the UK. There are, however, many weird and wonderful oddball ponies who use Romper - or parts of her - as part of their theme ;) See the variants section for more on this!!
