==History==
Very little of Muenchinger's life is known. The earliest known mention of Muenchinger was in [[1973]] in the ''Afro-American artists; a bio-bibliographical directory'', a directory of African American artists, which referenced him as being museum guest instructor in [[1971]]. On {{D|Nov|28|1977}}, he filed his first two known toy inventions at [[Hasbro]], and in [[1981]], he filed the patent for ''[[My Pretty Pony]]''. <ref>[https://patents.justia.com/inventor/charles-muenchinger ''Justia'']</ref><ref>''[https://archive.org/details/officialgazette984unit/page/n17/mode/2up?q=%22Charles+Muenchinger%22 Official gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office]''</ref>
