About[]

Minty display

"Minty" was one of the many pony names from G1 that Hasbro decided to recycle, bringing the name back for G3. She was released many times and was a frequent character in the animated media, but, despite this, she didn't make it into the Core 7.

Minty is a spring green pony with light hot pink mane with white streaks. Her eyes are cerise pink, and her hoof heart is light hot pink. Her cutie mark displays three round peppermint-flavored mint candies with turquoise green, light hot pink and white stripes.

“Minty is our green machine. She likes green bubble baths, cucumbers on her pizza, and all kinds of green candy. On her birthday, while we slept, she painted the castle green, of course!” - Razzaroo's description of Minty in A Charming Birthday.
