Sets

Fun at the Fair
Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle
NOTE: Fun at the Fair packages say "Apple Bloom & Sweetie Belle", however early releases of the set included Scootaloo instead of Apple Bloom. It appears Hasbro recognized this mispackaging and corrected it.

Blind Bag/Grab Bag/Surprise Bag
Blind Bag ponies are mini ponies that come in an unnamed bag meant to surprise you with which pony you will get when you open it. "Each bag surprises you with a new pony, a collector's card figures and an index of all ponies."
However, collectors have figured out a method to determine which pony is in which bag. A number is stamped on the top edge of each bag and each pony is always found in it's corresponding numbered bag. The bag numbers can be found below each pony below. The bag numbers vary for each wave. Click here for a Blind Bag Index by number.
