Brushes, Combs, and Picks

     Brushes, combs, and hair picks are some of the most common types of vintage My Little Pony accessories. Nearly every pony came with at least one brush, comb, or pick, as did most playsets and pony friends. In fact, of the nearly five hundred US My Little Ponies, only eleven were sold without these hair accessories: Baby Sleepy Pie, Baby Crumpet, and the ponies in the Sweet Kisses and Teeny Tiny Twins sets.
