Nirvana - next to impossible / easy breezy

[Ember1]

So if you had to say a pony,


Which pony would be the hardest to collect all the nirvana variants of every country?
Which pony would be the easiest?


My vote for the hardest would be bowtie (I cringe at the thought of trying to collect all of the colombian versions alone, let alone trying to land the SA version, and then there is french reverse bowtie)
My vote for the easiest would be galaxy.

[yum-yum]

I agree on you on Bowtie, but moondancer is also a HTF pony (think you avatar, SA, yellow IT moondancer).

Easiest, I would say any of the CP ponies, especially peachy.

Ugh Bowtie would be deadly! I agree with Galaxy though. Isn't there just the spanish version of her?

[pinkkittywinks]

epic ~ bowtie or blossom! i am thinking blossom now with the venuzelean blossoms that are popping up! also both have south african variants. having said that moondancer does seem troublesome with the argie variants, greek baby and the two south african variants.

easy ~ are any easy to collect?

Hardest- There are a few that would fit, but my vote would be for Moondancer. There's quite a few Greek versions, 2 SA versions, French and Italians, not to mention Mexican and a handful of Argies.

Easy- Bon Bon or Sweet Heart They seem to have the cheapest Dutch counterparts    Though if those don't count... probably either Wave Dancer or Sea Spray, they only have 1 variant that tends to stay below $40 unless accessories are involved.

i agree with bow tie, i quit collecting her because of the difficulty

Hardest? 
Blossom  (just different mexican versions are at least 8...  and with all the Colombians?!  *dreams*)

Easiest?
Maybe the Mexican watercolor baby sea ponies (just three..  only... is there a way to recognize WHO is normal US release and Mexican release?)

[Glacia471]

I was under the impression that the only major difference with the Mexican sea ponies and the US ones were their packaging. I don't think I've ever really seen a loose Mexican one either, or a side-by-side comparison.

The hardest I think would be Blossom, though Applejack and Bowtie would also be worthy contenders!

Easiest? Hmmmm.... maybe the orginal first tooth babies or newborn twins

I have all three MIB's now, but in no way I'm opening them =3

My sisters and I have them as kids... but mother can't remember if they were the Mexican release or the USA release =P

What I have found out (not sure... still haven't seen a USA float) is that the purple and orange duck float has the "Hasbro" cleaned off, but I don't know if it's the norm for all the floats =P

[Novavelle]

hardest, my vote is for AJ, doesn't she have a ton of variants, colombia being one of them?

and easiest, quackers (shes only got one in mexico) haha.

[Dyzarktarzk]

Thinking and thinking...

Also in easiest:

Sundae Best Ponies (both normal color and white realeases).  Maybe the white ones are a little tricky, I was only missing Swirly Whirly and now I have 2 (in less than a month).

Yes, I would agree with Bow Tie for the most difficult [but equally, in my opinion some of the most gorgeous] variants. Part of the reason I put a stop on my Bow Tie nirvanas was the fear of what it could cost lol and the fact I couldnt even keep track - I mean how many Columbian versions have there been now!

If we are going for "cheating" easy then the one offs like Peppermint Crunch but if we go for the one you can get a collection out of which is perhaps the most cost possible maybe Peachy [unless we are counting Cupido and Polly in her variant list and then we might move on to difficult again!!!]

[lunar_scythe]

Hardest:  I'd say Blossom; I don't know of *any* country that doesn't have at *least* one Blossom, and many have several.  Between Colombian and Venezuelan ones, plus SA, french, several Italians...

Easiest:  I'm gonna go with one no one has said yet, I had all versions of her for a few years...Buttons! there's the 2 UK NSS, the SS, TAF, baby, and 1 Argie.  and they all come up for sale fairly often, with the argie being the most expensive/hardest to find of the 6.

[relcelestia]

ya im gonna have to go with moondancer too!! 4 argie adults which are all htf and that rainbow baby to boot!! and of course the greek babies and SA ponies...


easiest... hmmm i think theres probably quite a few that tie....
the sundae best ponies are the first that come to mind
