1988: Magic Message Ponies

TEDDI

Pale blue earth pony with gold mane and tail (pale pink streak in mane), teddy bear symbol (stomach reveals heart or flower under heat).

Yes, the dreaded pale pink hair appeared in this one - Teddi is often found with a white streak, sparking the incorrect conclusion that she was sold with white hair. This is not a variation, however - it is sunfading - as Teddi was meant to have pale pink in her mane.

Teddi was, as her name suggests, the queen of teddy bears. Her most memorable adventure involved little coloured bears made of soap, though you could almost guarantee any story involving teddy bears around this time would involve her in some way or other. She did have a magical gift involving teddy bears also - her UK backcard story mentions her mending a sad little teddy bear and magically making a button appear to add to his jacket.

In North America, Teddi suffered from the all-too common Repetitive Name Syndrome. She was called 'Cuddles' there, a name which would get reused several times in coming years.

Her hair is meant to be curly. She was sold worldwide.
