Shenanigans
is... or is it Skywishes? This pony was listed
with
distributors both as Shenanigans and Skywishes.
Hasbro even had her listed on their site as Skywishes,
but the box clearly says Shenanigans! Is this just
a case of pony shenanigans? We think so! And the
pranks didn't end there. She was a part of the
general assortment of rainbow ponies, which should
have been available at most stores in early summer
of 2004. Unfortunately, she was spotted at a few stores like Target and Wal-Mart
and in very limited quantity.
The reason is not entirely clear, but may have
been related to the merge of rainbow/glitter
ponies into the new Perfectly Pony group, which
may have caused poor distribution for the last
official rainbow set. She was usually spotted at
smaller,
independent retailers, closeout stores, or grocery stores and
pharmacies. She was also
packaged in "Buy Three" packs at Wal-Mart for a
special low price. In 2005, she would be reissued
in the Study Break dress-up set. She shares her
character with a yarn-haired plush and a tiny tin! |
