A question about baby Heart Throb

[tulagirl]

I know that the USA put out the BBE heart throb baby.  I also know there was a baby heart throb that was non us and non bbe that had small pink hearts with no wings on the hearts for a symbol. Does anyone know what country that particular NBBE baby heart throb comes from?  I would say if memory serves me right the eyes on that baby heart throb are very typical of the ones seen on USA baby ponies.  I can't find any reference to this pony in my books but I know she exists. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.  Did the UK do a Heart Throb baby or is it Germany or Greek? I am so confused and I only have one book. I looked in the photos of Nirvana ponies and I can't find the one I am talking about.

I thought the no wings on hearts one was the UK version? I could be wrong. I just watched with envy as one sold on ebay for 32 GBP!

[CrystalCrown]

yep, thats the UK version

Oh wow how much is this baby worth really? Was that a good price? I don't know much about the prices on non USA ponies.  I want to save up for one and need to know how rare it is and how much I am looking at for this pony as well as the other country representations.

I don't know if that's a good price or not - but I want one too!! She went for more than I was willing to part with anyway!!

Yea someone told me I could probably expect to pay nearly 50 USA dollars  for one as they aren't seen often and I was hoping that wasn't the case...

I think I was watching that same auction...

Baby Heart Throb is the last NBBE Baby I need... thankfully... she's not one that I'm DYING to have... because I can't spend that kind of $$ on her.

But DANG... she can go high... >.<

[tulagirl]

Oh boy okay I guess she is a more rare one thus the cost as she might be highly desired by Heart Throb collectors such as myself. This is one of my favorite ponies. I love Heart Throb and I wasn't really fond of the USA baby version, I do have her...but this one is so adorable. I can't imagine not owning one at some point. 
I did a completed auctions check and noticed that the German one went for over 70.00. Wow okay.  And this one you are talking about I guess in USA dollars sold for 49.00 and some change from the conversion chart. I also saw one other one that sold for a bit lower but she had some issues maybe thats why.

I had both Heart Throb... and BBE Baby Heart Throb too as a kid. Still have them...

They were the ONLY Mommy & Baby pair I had as a kid. Tho I loved them... the BBE eyes always bugged me...

But yeah... One of these days... I'll find a NBBE baby to complete the "set". But I'm patient. The babies I was really after... were Gusty, Ribbon and Buttons. Found them! So now I can sit back... and try to be patient... haha! Yeah right!

Your BBE looks so much nicer than mine. Mine has a molded eyelash thats missing..blaaaa I will have to replace her at some point.

[ladybrooklyn]

I was pretty good to my ponies. Not many of them suffered too badly. Just poor Bowtie... she had her tail pulled out, and her mane given a buzz cut...

I can't bring myself to replace the childhood ones though. I have two Bowties now... But... I could never turn my old gal into a bait or anything.

Methinks you... need a Twinkle Eyed Heart Throb! Someone did a custom like that not too long ago... she was purdy!

Yes, the one with no winged symbol is generally considered the UK version, the one with winged symbol is considered the German version.  I believe both were actually sold in multiple European countries, but the non-winged version is rarer.

There's also a non-winged symbolled version which was made in Spain who is a LOT harder to find and much more valuable.  The general releases were made in Hong Kong like most regular G1s.

Thanks Lancer I didn't know about the Spain one. Oh good grief to get all these will cost a pretty penny for sure.  Thank you all so much for your comments. This is very helpful to me as I collect these.  Ladybrooklyn, my BBE was not a childhood pony. I bought her off of ebay and the seller said she was fine and perfect and when I got her she was not, but I bought her in a lot and wasn't willing to get rid of the rest just because she had a missing eyelid so I never asked for my money back.    I was not lucky enough to get to play with ponies because, I was too old for those types of toys when they came out.  I love them now though so much. I was very hard on my dolls and stuff and I still miss my doll house and to this day I can't find it, yet I know which one it was. Sigh...to replace old toys can be so tough.

I have the German version with winged hearts. So, are we saying that one is worth less than the UK one?
