G3 Minty
Minty was one of the many pony names from G1 that Hasbro decided to recycle, bringing the name back for G3.
She was first released as one of the Glitter Celebration Ponies in summer 2003. Minty was released many times and a frequent character in the movies. Despite this she didn't make it into the Core 7 and stopped being produced in the last few years of G3.

Minty has starred in many of the G3 My Little Pony cartoons and DVDs, including A Charming Birthday, A Very Minty Christmas, The Princess Promenade, A Very Pony Place, The World's Biggest Tea Party and cameo in Meet the Ponies in all of which her voice was played by Tabitha St. Germain. She was a very clumsy ditzy pony that liked the color green and socks.
Minty also appears in the PC Play Pack as one of several characters the player can help prepare for the Friendship Ball.
Variants
In the first year of G3, all ponies were initially released with their hoof-heart on their display-side (the side on which their symbol appeared). Midway through the first year this was changed so that the hoof-heart was always on the magnet leg. Because of this, Minty can be found with the heart on either her left or right leg.
