The Vintage “Twice as Fancy” My Little Ponies’ symbols are not limited to just the pony’s flank, like most traditional ponies. Instead, their symbols extend across much of their bodies, often covering one side entirely or wrapping around in intricate patterns. This design gave them a bold and eye-catching look that set them apart from other ponies in the lineup.
Their designs tend to be whimsical or thematic, and include elements like candies (Sweet Tooth), butterflies (Dancing Butterflies), or celestial motifs (Milky Way). Many Twice as Fancy Ponies also have colorful combinations of body tones, hair stripes, and detailed symbols, making them visually striking.
The Complete List of Twice as Fancy Ponies
Twice as Fancy Ponies were introduced in Year 5 (1986-1987) and became an instant favorite among fans and collectors. Their bold and unique designs stood out in the My Little Pony lineup, making them highly desirable, especially for collectors who appreciate intricate details. These TAF ponies included Earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi and, in addition to their U.S. release, some Twice as Fancy Ponies were sold in international markets under different names.
