Pony ID Help Identifying characters

[DutchAlice]

Hi, I'm not a My Little Pony collector, but I am trying to identify some of the characters and I would appreciate any help.

In 1989 a Dutch chain of toy stores (named Speelboom, which translates to "Playtree") distributed a series of plastic stick pins (of rather cheep quality) promoting several brands of toys.

Six of these depicted characters from My Little Pony. I have not yet been succesful in naming them, apart from the obvious Pinkie Pie.

I hope some of you can tell me which characters they are supposed to represent.

Thanks in advance.

These are G1 so that is cherries jubilee not pinkie pie. The colors look a bit faded and I'm not as familiar with merchandise. Maybe @Gingerbread it @MustBeJewel can tell you. It's also hard without the symbols....

The yellow and pink one looks like Posey and @Tak is be right about Cherries Jubilee. As I am not as familiar with G1 as I am with other generations, I think more help is needed here.

I think the white one with green hair might be Scrumptious? I’m not positive though

It could also be Cupcake. I found this picture online, which ended up linking to Pintrest

It could be her too it’s hard to tell without their symbols

It is quite the challenge. I’m just going off the colours, artwork, poses, the fact files and stickers to try to find these

Hard to say since they didn't put symbols (butt marks) but here are my guesses, from top to bottom:

Pink pegasus - Firefly
White pony - Cupcake
Pink pony - most likely Cherries Jubilee, could also be Cotton Candy
yellow pegasus - Lofty
yellow pony with pink hair - Posey
green pony - Tootsie

green pony - Tootsie

That's exactly what I was thinking @LadyMoondancer !

I've seen those pins before, as far as identifying, my brain is thinking they should be so softs, since Cupcake is included and each of those ponies came as a so soft. I think it's...

?? maybe North Star and just has wrong hair color
Cupcake
Cherries Jubilee
Lofty
Posey
Magic Star

but I don't know for sure, it just seems logical.

Firefly
???
Cherries Jubilee
Applejack
Posey
Magic Star

If the first one is North Star, she’s in the same pose as the back card

I think @Gingerbread is onto something!

Thanks for setting me straight on Pinkie Pie. And for not letting me feel as stupid for not being able to find the names. I guess this is a question for specialists and I came to the right place

With your suggestions (and Google) I found a page on My Little Wiki that mentions these "Dutch Promotional Pins", listing them as Magic Star, Posey, Cherries Jubilee, Lofty, Cupcake and Firefly.

Jewelry - My Little Wiki

mylittlewiki.org

These (almost) identical images also confirm some of the names. So the top one is not Firefly but North Star.

 

[Tak]

Great work finding it!

Although I enjoy these kind of searches (some time ago I tried finding info on some Pokemon characters, which was similarly daunting), this was probably the only time I needed to learn about MLP. Thanks for your friendly welcome to a total noob. ;-)
Enjoy collecting!
