Gypsy is orange with red hair and purple eyes. Her symbol is three glittery silver tambourines. She has white freckles on her cheeks.
Snowflake is pink with white hair and blue eyes. Her symbol is three glittery snowflakes. She has white freckles on her cheeks.

Play and Care Set
These Baby ponies were sold abroad and while their US counterparts had Beddy-Bye eyes these babies came with regular eyes.

Her eyes are light blue and they are not Beddy-Bye style eyes like her US counterpart!

Baby Heart Throb is lavender with dark pink hair and blue eyes. She has three pink hearts as her symbol.
There seem to be three variations of Baby Heart Throb's symbol. One variation has pink hearts with glittery silver wings while another has pink hearts with blue-grey wings and the third has no wings. Only the Baby Heart Throb with three pink hearts and no wings was sold in the UK.

Jewellery Set

Jewellery Set

The UK had a unique pony item set called the 'Jewellery Set'. Each set consisted of a plastic heart-shaped case with an attached plastic loop handle that had a rainbow sticker on it. A string or cord could be strung through this loop in order to create a necklace. The plastic container had a lid that could lift off and the inside portion of the container would hold several pony-themed hair barrettes. I'm not sure how many different versions of this set were produced, but a pink one is featured in the 1986 pony pamplet and the blue version is shown below.

Blue Jewellry Set

Pony Wear

UK Pony Wear is an unusual mismatch of sets that were released differently in the US. Mommy and Baby Pony Wear sets weren't issued in the UK but some of the adult outfits from these sets did show up as replacement additions to other Pony Wear sets. Many outfits were also given different names so I will use their UK names in bold and off to the side I will add their USA name and the Pony Wear set they came from when released in North America.
Sunday Stroll and Carnival Time may have been unique to the UK line. Even though the 'Sunday Stroll' name was used in the US, the outfits look pretty different. This could be due to a error in the pamplet or they may have been unique sets.
