Floater is a My Little Pony Generation 1 vintage toy released by Hasbro in 1987-1988 as part of the Magic Message Ponies collection.
The Magic Message Ponies of Year Six had heat-sensitive symbols that revealed a hidden image, which changed depending on the side when rubbed or exposed to heat. For example, Cuddles the Bear’s red belly hid a yellow flower, and Cloud Dreamer hid a castle. Unfortunately, many of these ponies have lost the ability to reveal their symbols, as the paint was prone to peeling.
Floater is in the lofty pose, has dark pink and aqua hair, purple eyes, and a group of balloons that show the
message “| <3 (Ice Cream symbol)” or “| <3 U” when heat is applied. A tiny balloon on the right cheek.
My Little Pony, launched by Hasbro in 1983, was a beloved toy line featuring colorful ponies with brushable manes and unique symbols, or “cutie marks,” on their flanks. Each pony had its own name and personality, from unicorns to earth ponies and pegasus ponies, inviting kids to immerse themselves in a magical world of friendship and adventure. The toy line was accompanied by animated specials, a TV series, and movies, making My Little Pony a cherished part of 80s and 90s childhoods and a timeless classic for collectors and fans.
The world of My Little Pony is… huge. We’re talking thirteen years of collections featuring all sorts of figures and toys! So, I’ve been working on creating smaller guides to help you navigate this wonderful pastel-colored world. Below, you will find (some!) pages with ponies sorted by year, collection (such as Birthflower ponies, Spanish Piggies, etc), country, and much more. I hope they help!
With 400 pages of G1 ponies, The Unofficial Vintage My Little Pony Companion is a deep dive into the world of My Little Pony and the people who created the line. The book includes custom-made images of thousands of pony variants, graphics, beautiful illustrations, and, for the first time, a comprehensive list of ALL Nirvana (foreign) ponies shown and described in detail—as well as previously unknown details about how ponies were manufactured and distributed all around the world.
Restoring My Little Pony is the result of almost three years of restoring and customizing My Little Pony toys for my channel RetroGeek Crafts. The book contains 86 pages full of detailed step-by-step guides, project features, material and technique comparisons, and much more. The book is mostly focused on My Little Pony Generation 1 (MLP G1). However, these techniques can be applied to all other generations, including MLP G2, G3, G4, and even G5.
