I'm actually more interested in Country Exclusives tbh. Mountain Boys, Tales Ponies, Roller Skaters, German Rainbows, ReUnicorno, Seaside Babies.

I thought Re Unicorno was a Nirvana? :o

He is, he was made in italy.
The others are technically more regional exclusives then country exclusives. Most of them where sold in several European countries.
Wanted: MOC Geman baby Lemon Drop, MIB baby Lemon Drop with purple stroller, MOC Rainbow Confetti, MOC Euro(NSS) Buttons, ,  and UK carded rainbow ponies.

I love the variations that Nirvanas have on the original theme. Different colours, different poses, different ways of doing their symbols or eyes. I love their individual quirks: all Italians have blue eyes; all S.A. ponies have rooted tails etc.

I'm excited when I get a pony from a new country for the first time and I can sit and see how it differs from the regular releases, even in small ways.

I just love ponies  :)

I'm more into unique or varied enough to be as good as unique Ponies. Nirvana doesn't disappoint there. I have Lambaditsa (see her thread in Pony Corral), & she, Ladybird, & two or three of the Spanish piggy Ponies are unique concepts, while many Argentinian Ponies are so different from their US/UK counterparts they might as well be different Ponies, like rainbow Truly & the one I like to call Southern Star. It's a chance to get a Pony who's different, new to me & has her own history, particularly when you have nearly all the US/UK Ponies there were.
My Mascots (so far): Twisty Tail, G2 Trixiebelle, Starcatcher, Twilight Sparkle. All variants & pictures of these are appreciated. Piccies courtesy of Griffin, Blumiere, Littlebabyribbon, & Starscout

When I was a kid, I had somehow never seen the advertisements for Ember, so when my babysitter's daughter trotted out this symbol-less baby pony, who was all blue and seemed weird and fake but was entirely legit, I found her so mysterious! Nobody I knew as a kid had her, or even knew she existed beyond that one kid (who also decided to scream at me that it was the first pony *ever* and tried to fight me (actually kicked me) about it when I told her that I was pretty sure that baby ponies were pretty new, so maybe she meant first baby. She was much younger than me so I eventually just let it go.

Nirvanas give me that feeling.  Without the feeling of having to fight with a preschooler.

I love the pose and eyes of the piggy ponies. Also it's thrilling to me to own something rarevand wanted.

I'm definitely into that.  I actually like the face when you are looking straight on at the CP ponies more than the Bubbles pose.
