My Little Pony Tales ran in 1992 and lasted for 26 episodes. It is much different
than My Little Pony and Friends and features the ponies more as young girls dealing
with ordinary problems (well, relatively ordinary) rather than fighting beasts
and dealing with real peril.
Also unlike the first series which had dozens and dozens of characters with mostly
one dimensional personality traits, Tales focused on seven girls in-depth. The stars
of the Tales series are Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover
and Bon Bon. They also had three male friends, Teddy, Ace and Lancer as well as a
teacher, Ms. Hackney.
While the series aired in the US none of the seven girls were available for purchase
in the United States and were only released overseas. The My Little Pony line had
already ended in the US when the show began airing. The boys were never made into toys.
Tales is now notorious among US collectors for not being available on DVD in any form.
It has been released in Australia and a collection of some of the episodes have
been released in the UK but the US remains unable to purchase and watch this old
series.
