SEA PONIES AND
THEIR ACCESSORIES
The UK only had one line of adult
sea ponies and two lines of baby sea ponies, but even here it is possible
to find differences between these and the US issue. The actual ponies themselves
are covered on pages dealing with their respective yers, but this one is
devoted to their accessories....
Pretty & Pearly Tiny Bubbles - a UK exclusive. Note that in the
UK it seems Pretty & Pearly baby sea ponies came with a whale brush
and not a fish comb. Also, the sticker in the centre of Tiny Bubbles' ring
is not of the later clear scented design, but is one of the original puffy
round stickers which were still available even at this late date with ponies
in the UK.
This is also the design for all the UK Pretty & Pearly Baby Sea
Pony Cards.
As regards the adult sea ponies, the basic shells for Surfdancer and
Seaspray mimic those for Seawinkle and Wavedancer in the USA respectively.
However, whilst Sealight in America had a *green* shell, in the UK Wavebreaker
had a yellow shell, which is exclusive to this country. Despite *MANY*
claims to the contrary, WaveBREAKER and WaveDANCER are identical in every
way except for their shell, and so can be seen as the same pony and the
first example of a difference in name between US and UK ponies.
In the below image, Seaspray is shown with the *wrong* shell as this
picture was taken before I got her purple shell.
This image is taken from the 1985 Hasbro UK insert and quite clearly
shows the sea ponies with their correct shells :)
Like in the USA, they also came with the shell brush and comb.
