1986: So Soft Ponies

SCRUMPTIOUS

White earth pony with green mane and tail, pink and green melon slice symbol. FLOCKED.

The first thing that always springs to mind when I think about Scrumptious the pony is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the movie. Why, you ask? Well, with a pony in the original set called Truly, and then this pony, it seems that Hasbro's creation team had their minds in the same area. Truly Scrumptious? It has to be more than just a coincidence, especially since both little ponies are white earthlings!

In truth, Scrumptious bears far more resemblance to Truly's erstwhile buddy Cupcake than she does to Truly herself. White with green instead of white with aqua, she stands in the same pose, and has a similarly food-related symbol - a slice of melon. Honestly, scrumptious is not the adjective that springs to mind when melon is brought into the equation, but each to their own :)

Scrumptious was only ever sold as a So Soft Pony as part of this set and a version of her without flocking was never made. She was also never sold in the United Kingdom. She is often found on the second hand market with yellowed flocking, but she is meant to be white.
