There are a few things that (stereotypically) every little girl wants; to marry a prince, to care for a baby doll, and to have a pony. Now every little girl can have her very own pony to love and care for. Hasbro has just released what may be the “IT” toy for little girls in 2007. It is the Butterscotch Interactive Plush Pony from their Fur Real Friends line.

Hasbro’s Butterscotch is about the same size as a miniature pony, which is just over three feet tall. Butterscotch is totally interactive. She does all the cute things a little girl’s vision of a pony would do like whinny, neigh, and blow a puff or air out of her nose. She also blinks, swishes her tail, and eats her plastic carrot. Butterscotch responds to voice by moving her head and ears. She is even strong enough for your little girl to sit on and go for make-believe rides. Butterscotch does not walk however so there is no danger of your daughter taking her over a flight of stairs.

This early version of Butterscotch has some parents complaining about her noisy motors that make her interactive. One parent on Amazon.com writes about their problems assembling Butterscotch and not being able to get her coat completely over her mechanical body. For about $275 she can yours from any major toy retailer.
