Was it possibly Baby Stella?visitors can't see pics , please register or loginShe's a "Starlight Baby" pony, which I believe were the Euro versions of the Baby Sparkle ponies.http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Category:Starlight_Baby_Ponieshttps://www.ponylandpress.com/europe/uk/starlight.shtml
Strangely not! I did encounter this pony as well, but there was another pony with a planet mark that looked really familiar; I probably remember this pony from a missing pony, but not the one I personally had. I knew I never owned any sparkle-ponies that I personally remember
I'm not a fan of calling the Starlight Babies "European versions" of the Sparkle Babies. "Relatives" is better

"Relatives" is better I always see the Sparkle Babies as cheap-looking versions of the Starlight Babies (who were my childhood ponies). I see what you mean with this.I personally see them as separate sets, I always will. I also hate that people take the approach that anything not sold in the US is automatically a subordinate/variant/alternate/non-version of the US set.This one particularly, though, because it's such a poorly thought through set in the US release. There's no original names in the set name or pony names.They don't have an original gimmick.They don't even have tinselled hair like the adult sparkles.Orange is overused - why not blue or green or something else if white is hard to glitter?The Starlights at least have some originality going for them. They have rainbow tinsel (most of the time, some have just gold), which is unique among the baby G1s except Princess Sparkle. They are all different colours from one another. They all have original names, as is the set name. And they also are weird and shiny (I wish they had made them pearly, but the weird PVA glue type shiny is again unique to this set). So they have all the original design points ticked, yet they're seen as the alt versions of the thrown-together lazy US set for some reason I don't really understand.In any case, there are also so many complexities with the Starlights in terms of variations (three possible manufacturing locations, multiple possible tinsel and hair variations on top of that). They don't need to be being compared to a vaguely similar US set when they have a ton of their own internal comparisons re "variant" and "alternate" versions.I don't hate the Sparkle babies and the one thing they did well was the purplish shade for Firefly, which I wish they'd used for Mischief. But the fact they didn't also means two of the four ponies are completely different colours as well...making them yet more distinct.If sharing a symbol made one pony a variant of another pony, Peachy and Snuzzle would be alternates
I think I'd call these two sets "counterparts", personally. Related but still two seperate sets.
