This My Little Pony Gingerbread was made in Argentina in 1983 (it's what's called a "Nirvana" pony, in this case manufactured by Top Toys). Gingerbread is considered one of the pretties G1 ponies -- you can see why. That rainbow mane, the cute little figures, the awesome unicorn. Some G1 Gingerbreads' rumps were first painted white, like this one. After talking to the owner we decided to remove the paint because the body colour had changed and the paint looked a bit old and ugly. She also asked for no retrobrighting and a complete mane rehair.
