Some unidentifiable newbies today... I got them with the arena playset along with 6 other identifiable series 1.1 and 1.2 ponies...  I know that at least 3 of them were from a ‘Value 10 pack’ but I don’t know names, breed, or any other info.

Screenshots of the former In My Pocket website featuring Pony Profiles of Series 1.2. Accessed via the Wayback Machine in 2018. Due to Adobe Flash Player no longer being supported, these archives are unable to be viewed anymore. Profiles for some of 1.1 were also available but unfortunately I do not have screenshots of those.

There is a couple of errors in the website itself; Nina and Senator's pictures have been switched on their profiles, and contrary to what the website says they are not Puppies!

Otherwise, enjoy a slice of the past.

This Blog

This blog is made to help anyone who is, like I am, attempting to complete a full collection of the 2008-2010 series of Pony In My Pocket. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to catalogue these series but unfortunately there is not much information available online, so I’ve pieced together things that I’ve found here and there. I can’t say for certain if this information is 100% correct, as I’m just a fan. These ponies were a big part of my childhood and my collection is very important to me, so I want to get everything as close to right as possible to help out anyone else trying to do the same thing.

Shimmer & I would love to welcome you all to my *incredibly new* blog!

I've taken nice pictures of all my current ponies, ready to post them along with their info- and I'm already on the hunt for more!

A lot of my ponies are childhood toys, so you will note their dirty, worn, and faded condition... but they are loved :^)

Massive thank you + shout-out to @ponyinmypocket12 for the amazing resources they've got on their blog! ❤️

My hopes are to share my own collection, and help find all the missing ponies ❤️

Thanks and that's all for now!

Series 1.1 (2008-2009) Summary

Marketed as Series 1 in both Hemispheres. The only Series I ever saw sold instore (Southern Hemisphere). Personality Profile pamphlet featured illustrations instead of photos. I have tried to sort them into their sets using photos of BNIB and other records I have (email archives from 2012!) As a whole, I have found that Series 1.1 is one of the more common lots of figurines to find for sale (when placed in comparison to other Series/Special Editions).

As always, the serial numbers are my doing. I also added my own numbers to the Box Sets for clarity's sake.

*Both the 4 Ponies (1 Hidden) and Blind Bag sets draw from the same pool of 12 Ponies. The 4P1H comes with three Ponies visible, for each box number these are the same Ponies each time. I do not know if there is a variation in the Hidden Ponies between sets of the same box but these will be any one of the 12 within the pool. For those whose box number I don't know I have just included them in the pool. Both of these sets come in red packaging instead of Series 1.1's usual light purple and features green four leaf clovers. Information on the packaging is written in Italian, English, Spanish and Greek.

**Existence unverified - Stable Sets were real as I purchased one secondhand (over a decade ago) and it came with 3 Ponies, but I do not know for sure if all three were part of the Stable Set, but as they all came together this is my assumption.

How to tell the difference between Jakks Pacific and Corinthian Ponies

(Disclaimer - this is information that I have cobbled together myself from various firsthand and secondhand sources. It is my attempt to make everything as factually accurate as possible but it is not an official recount and therefore not necessarily always correct)

The Pony In My Pocket brand and toy line originated as hard plastic figurines in the 1990's by the toy brand MEG (Morrison Entertainment Group). They were released alongside such toys as Puppy In My Pocket (launched 1993) and Kitty In My Pocket (1994). These vintage toys were discontinued but more information can be found about them on this amazing website.

In 2005, the Puppy In My Pocket toy line was redesigned and relaunched, now using softer plastic figurines covered in flocking. Other In My Pocket lines were also redesigned and relaunched, with the first Pony In My Pocket flocked ponies being released in 2008. During this line's production run, it was licensed to two different companies, Corinthian and Jakks Pacific. From my understanding, both released toys simultaneously (during the 2008-2010 run). Both companies manufactured toys with similar designs, molds and colous; there is a substantial overlap between Corinthian's Series 1.1 ponies and ponies released by Jakks Pacific. As all Pony In My Pocket toys have long been discontinued, it is incredibly difficult to find ponies still within their packaging. If you are pedantic like I am, and wish to know if your newly acquired secondhand pony was produced by either Corinthian or Jakks Pacific, then this post is for you!

Below are some photographic examples of the visual differences of Jakks Pacific and Corinthian ponies. Jakks Pacific will always be on the left and Corinthian on the right. Jakks Pacific ponies are, on the whole, larger and their colours and markings vary quite a lot compared to their Corinthian counterparts. The flocking often has a slightly glittery appearance. Whites of the eyes are much smaller and the eyes themselves are much larger physically and painted with thicker, brighter paint. Note - many of these ponies are secondhand and have sustained some damage or discolouration over the course of their lifetimes.

Gina #1113

Buttercup #1114

Bluebell #1117

Freckles #1118

Tahema #1119

Silver #1122

Bubbles #11101

Amber #11415

Silver #111122 - Jakks Pacific figurine has a hole in its side as it was originally part of a playset called Charm Ponies where ponies could be placed onto a bracelet. Some Corinthians newborns have this hole in their sides also, I am unsure why.

Special Edition Rainbow Ponies Nash #3005 - although the Jakks Pacific pony is a different colour I think these two demonstrate the difference between the two brands very well. Pink pony comes from the Fantasy Little Homes playsets by Jakks Pacific. Note - Nash #3005 is NOT a part of the Series 1.2 Purple Ponies collection.

Special Edition Rainbow Ponies Mysty #3009 - as above.

I hope this may help you with your pony identification. Please note that my blog is specifically focused upon my Corinthian ponies as I consider them distinct from Jakks Pacific and therefore not technically part of my collection. There is significantly less information available surrounding Jakks Pacific Pony In My Pocket. They do not appear to have biographies (Pony Profiles) in the same way that Corinthian ponies do. They were sold in different types of playsets to the Corinthian ponies. Jakks Pacific also used a slightly different logo - a white pony with a pink horseshoe - compared to Corinthian - three ponies within a stitched pocket, this should help you immediately distinguish any that are still within their packaging.
