1989: Perfume Puff Ponies

SWEET SUDS

Pink earth pony with poofy blue mane and tail, blue bathtub with white bubbles symbol. Scented.

Although the whole set was sold in the UK, distribution must have been a touch wonky, because I never ever saw any of them in stores in my part of the country, and finding them at carboot sales round here has also always been something of a nightmare.

Therefore I can only conclude that some areas had them more liberally than others.

It's possible that Sweet Suds was the most commonly written about Perfume Puff Pony in the UK pony comics. Certainly I remember her more clearly than the others. It seems that she had a special, enchanted magic which revolved around scented bath bubbles and, as her symbol suggests, she was the queen of the Bubble Bath as a result. On one occasion, she even used her bath as a boat to enter a sailing competition! Perhaps in some random way, Hasbro were linking her up with the Scrub a Dub Tub - though nothing concrete was ever said about it:)

She also used her magic bubbles to other ends, however - even decorating fairground stalls and the like! Her special scents helped ponies feel fresh, bright and clean. Yes, she's the Lenor pony!
