Category:Unicorn and Pegasus Ponies
The Unicorn and Pegasus Ponies are the first fantasy characters for the brand. They have two groups of releases – one in Year Two and another in Year Three. They are the first ponies to feature glitter symbols. Each unicorn pony has a "mane stripe," which is a smaller, rooted third row of hair in a different color near the middle of her mane.
Year Two (1983-1984)
Year Two introduced a few new poses with this set: the Firefly Pose (called the "prancing" pose in the commercial), the Moondancer or "Walking" Pose, and the Glory or "Proud" Pose. These ponies are featured in a commercial with the Year Two Earth Ponies.
Year Two Unicorn and Pegasus Ponies Commercial
Lyrics are as follows, sung to the familiar tune:
My Little Pony, unicorn,
A magical pony with beautiful hair.
My Little Pony, pegasus,
Imagine my pony flying through the air.
The new little ponies, in pretty poses,
Sitting and turning and prancing too.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony,
My pony, I love you.
My pony, I love you.
All but Sunbeam are featured in the Rescue at Midnight Castle/Firefly's Adventure pilot episode. Firefly is the main protagonist, while Glory, Medley, and Twilight are supporting characters. Moondancer has a non-speaking role, as she is abducted by Scorpan within the first five minutes and spends most of her screentime transformed into a monster.
Each pony includes a shooting star brush, ribbon, and a round puffy sticker, as well as an order form for Ember.
Year Three (1984-1985)
There are two new pegasus ponies this year, as well as two rereleases with longer, curly hair – Firefly and Medley. A new pegasus pose – Surprise Pose – was also part of the year’s flying pony lineup.
Four new unicorns also winked into Year Three in two new poses – Gusty Pose and Powder Pose. Glory and Moondancer were rereleased in the assortment; the ponies are unchanged but include new accessories.

Lyrics are as follows, sung to the familiar tune:
[Instrumental where "My Little Pony, My Little Pony" typically plays]
Those are the new little ponies, there.
(Comm. 1) My Little Pony, My Little Pony, (Comm. 2) My Little Pony, New Rainbow Ponies,
I love to comb their beautiful hair.
The new little ponies, new pegasus ponies,
New unicorn ponies, just for you.
My Little Pony, new little ponies,
They're like a dream come true.
(Comm. 2 Only) They're like a dream come true.
Powder and Sparkler have minor roles in the second animated special, Escape from Catrina, while Gusty, Heart Throb, and Surprise will go on to be recurring characters in the My Little Pony TV series.
Each pony includes a crescent moon comb, ribbon, and round puffy sticker, as well as an order form for the Birthflower Ponies.
