I'm late, sorry. Yup the UK had a metal bracelet. I don't remember seeing anywhere that you could order them.
I have a vague recollection that someone said the US one came with a plastic bracelet but I didn't add that information so I'm not sure it was verified with other collectors. The Hearts and Candy / My Valentine set also came with a plastic one, which is similar.
Here's the UK one and the page I have:

In the US Bouquet came with Pretty Please, the only Mommy Charm I owned as a child.

I knew you would know :D Maybe I'm thinking that there was a pony charm with the bracelet when you ordered it? I never got to do anything of the sort, I'm pretty certain zero charm-packaged ponies appeared in my local area when I was a kid, and I never cared enough to chase it up. My Mummy Charm Funny Face just moved into the Petite Castle with Moondust & Kingsley and that was that...

Edit - your site has the UK insert I was thinking of, and yes, that is what I remembered - that the bracelet came with a charm. So it wasn't that you could send off for them, but you could receive one with the charm bracelet if you sent for it. Ok. Details sorted in brain. Happy now :D

Also, yay :D That's my newborn twins' orange charm :D

Thanks Chrissytree, That's very interesting. :)  The US got the plastic bracelet with no bonus charm and the UK got the metal bracelet and one charm included with the bracelet. 


I wonder how Hasbro expected kids to get a full set of 20 charms? I guess through trading or asking for more ponies that included charms.?

I am going to guess that because certain charms came with certain ponies in the US, the idea was to get kids to buy ALL the ponies to get ALL the charms. Yay!

In the Uk they weren't so organised, so...yeah. A lot of the ponies sold with the charms in the US also didn't get here or got here later. We did get imports of US boxed B&G but I don't know if they ever had charms with them. My Braided Beauty was one of those, in a US box from a UK store but she had no charm.

 I dunno if Hasbro UK really thought that through to be honest. I mean, if you could send off for a chain and get a random charm and then the same charm is in the pony you want...

I am trying to remember which charm is in with my MOC Baby Bro Sweet Celebrations. I think it's pink.

Did any other country have the Mummy Charm offer or were Hasbro US just offloading their spares on the UK line?

I can imagine how that conversation might have gone between parents and children.

Child: “Look, another pony with a free pony charm! Can I get it?”
Parent: “But we bought 5 ponies that had charms yesterday.”
“This one is different though.”  :lol:


I’m not sure if anyone besides the US and the UK had the pony charms. Maybe Hasbro didn’t sell as many pony charms in the US as they had hoped and sent the rest of the charms to the UK?


Thanks for the pic of the US chain Marlin. :) I’m wondering if Hasbro realized that the plastic chain didn’t work so they switched to a metal chain for the UK charm release?

IIRC either Australia or New Zealand (or both) got My Pony Pixie (who is a Charmkins character, but in the same mold) as part of a club offer.

Edit:  Or maybe it was a Nordic country?  I am trying to remember, but it was a conversation I had many years ago with someone who was from whatever country.

Does anyone know if some Mommy/Mummy charms can get age spots or regrind. I just found my childhood Little Helper and she has 3 age spots or regrind spots on her. :sad:?

For some reason I was thinkng Australia might have had the charms also but I’m not sure where I got that idea.

They definitely can get the regrind / discoloration, sadly.

I think some second set big brothers had charms in the US.

We had them here in Sweden. I got Fun Lover as a child, but dont know with wich pony. And I dont know if they where US or UK imports. On the other hand, they are selldom seen in the second hand market here, maybe because people dont think of them as MLP, or that they easy get lost. 

IIRC either Australia or New Zealand (or both) got My Pony Pixie (who is a Charmkins character, but in the same mold) as part of a club offer.

I think we had her here, but cannot remember if she was part of the pony club or something.
