by Type:
The Twinkle Eyed ponies were released in two distinct sets. The first set came out in Year Four (1985-1986) and included fan favorites like Galaxy, Gingerbread, and Masquerade. The second set followed in Year Five (1986-1987), continuing the line with even more designs.
Each pony in the My Little Pony TE lineup has a unique theme, from celestial motifs to festive and theatrical inspirations. The Year Four Twinkle Eyed Ponies (released in 1985-1986) and the Year Five Twinkle Eyed Ponies (released in 1986-1987) both feature ponies with their iconic jeweled eyes, but there are some some differences. Below, you will find the complete list of Twinkle-Eyed G1 (Generation 1) ponies and where to find them!
My Little Pony Year 4
The Year Four Twinkle Eyed Ponies introduced the concept of jeweled eyes and included the first group of ponies in this style. Year Four ponies had relatively simpler and more classic designs. Their body and mane colors were often bold, but their symbols were usually smaller and less detailed. The Y4 Twinkle Eyed Ponies were also part of the earlier My Little Pony media and had broader, more generalized personalities related to their symbols.
My Little Pony Year 5
The Year FiveTwinkle Eyed Ponies expanded the lineup with additional characters like Mimic, Quackers, Locket, and Bright Eyes. These ponies continued to build on the popularity of the jeweled eyes but introduced more unique designs and symbols. The Year Five Twinkle Eyed Ponies often had more distinct backstories and themes in merchandise or media appearances, like Mimic’s mystical powers or Quackers’ playful personality.
