My Little Pony - UK
1985
1985 was the first official year for Hasbro UK. The toyline after this year would continue to differ from its North American roots.
The UK Groom 'n' Style set came with the ponies featured in the North American 1984 'My Little Pony' set, but there were some differences. Bow Tie and Applejack were both sold in new poses, with their heads held straight ahead. Also Bow Tie, Lickety-split, and Cherries Jubilee all had curly hair.

Applejack is orange with yellow hair and green
eyes. Her symbol is seven red and green leafed apples. She has white freckles
on her cheeks.
She stands with her head straight instead of turned to one side like the North American version. |

Confetti is a white pony with red and green confetti
bits on her rump. Her eyes are purple. She was sold in this pose as part
of the 'Wedding Bells' playset that came with wedding ring, white veil,
white dress, and four white shoes.
This version of Confetti is in a different pose than the US one. |

Baby Pony Stroller with Snuzzle

The Baby Pony Stroller was reissued with Baby Bow
Tie and a bonus Snuzzle in the UK catalog company ad. This was probably
an Argos exclusive.

Megan and Sundance
The UK Megan and Sundance set is quite unique. Sundance didn't come with
a bridle and Megan came with a unique UK exclusive outfit.
