G4 Fashion Style Ponies - Were these two ever available

[tortue_têtue]

Hi,

I am collecting mostly g4 fashion style ponies and I have been looking for Cutie Mark Magic Rainbow Dash and Rarity for so long (see pictures below) that I am wondering if they ever been released or maybe they were only available in certain countries?

So, did you ever saw these two ponies? If you have information to share, let me know, I am curious! I am just wondering why these two would be so hard to find!

I don't remember seeing them in stores, but the distribution has been wack.
Isn't that "Explore Equestria"? What with the zapcodes.

Thanks for the reply. I only saw pictures with this package :

But they might have been released under a different collection as you suggested. Even on ebay, I never saw a single copy of these toys, or even just an accessory.

Just a heads up, I might've found a Rarity of that line in a charity shop in Aus. She only came with her shirt though.

MIA in stores in my area (NE Ohio) when they would have been current, and nothing like them has shown up in the second-hand market. If they had been around, I'd have snagged Rarity without question.

I believe I saw these two on shelves in Australia, for a very brief window of time when they came out. If I’m remembering correctly it was in a Target or a Kmart. Ponies really stopped getting stocked almost anywhere except those two stores. I remember Dash most of all due to being disappointed with her big plastic gown, because her first FS pony had the same dress but fabric.

We got Rainbow Dash here in Australia as I have one, I'm sure we must have got Rarity too, I thought I may have had photos but can't seem to find any with them in it at the moment

How do they differ from the other FS releases, aside from their clothing?

[tortue_têtue]

The outfit  is different. For the pony, they have a heart shape code on one of their front legs. The design for the colour of their eyes might be slightly different too.

Freezestime: it make sense you saw a used Rarity in your area! I also noticed that Daisy Dreams (Fashion style) seemed to have been available in Australia and not in Canada (US?) (or very small quantity).

That narrow my search (and also makes it a tiny bit more challenging as I am from Canada! But who doesn't like a good challenge!)

I should make a post in the Wanted forum! That could help.

Thanks all for the info!
