Back in the '80s there were three things every little girl wanted: a date with Boy George, a part in Punky Brewster and a stable-load of My Little Ponies. These impossibly cute plastic horses caused a sensation back in the decade that taste forgot. They even spawned a TV show and a movie. Not bad for a range of rainbow-colored horses with manes and tails you could comb.

But enough already with all this reminiscing because the My Little Pony characters are back and they're just as lovable as you remember. Celebrating 25 years of sunshine, smiles and friendship (so we hear), these retro-styled figures are re-issues of the original, generation one 'Earth Ponies' from 1983. They even come with their own little combs. Awwww!



Available as two collectors sets of three, you can choose between Blue Belle, Butterscotch and Cotton Candy (Set 1) or Blossom, Minty and Snuzzle (Set 2). You could even buy both sets and spend your days grooming, admiring and stroking these strangely enthralling horsies - although we would discourage all you grown-ups out there from doing so at your desks - collecting whimsical toy horses is generally frowned upon by senior management. Sorry, boss!

Whether you're a retro toy geek who remembers the My Little Pony gang from way back when, or you're discovering each delightful character for the very first time, we guarantee you'll be smitten. They really are cuter than a corral full of cute things from cutieville. So why not saddle up and get ordering? Every little princess deserves a pony and now's your chance to own a whole herd. Naaaaaayyyy!
