Let me just begin by saying: I am still in shock over the stroke of luck I had in acquiring these for my collection. Thrilled is an understatement! :lol:
I am an avid Petite Pony collector, having begun my collection in 1990 when I was only 6, and roundabout the early 2000s I learned of the mysterious "stamper Petites" aka "Italian Petites" by way of Silverdawn's Petite Pocket website. I was determined to one day find them for my own collection, and I scoured the web for more information on them to little avail. From what I could tell, it was unknown how many colors, moulds, and sets were ever produced.
Well...now I can answer that :) There were 8 colors produced, each color made in 4 moulds, for a total of 8 sets of 4 / 32 individual ponies. I stumbled upon a single MIB set on Ebay, from an Italian seller, and following my purchase, she asked me if I would be interested in the other 7 sets. :shocked: WOULD I.
I basically gifted these rarities unto myself, after several months of personal heartache that I won't get into. I told myself "I deserve these," put in a little extra time at the home office, and splurged for the entire lineup. It took two weeks for the box to make it to me...WORTH IT :biggrin:
And with that...here are my photos! I am absolutely willing to share them with anyone who has a Petite Pony guide website and would like to make their guide more thorough.
First, here's the lineup on their new shelf ^.^

The plastic bubbles were yellowed, thus distorting the colors of the ponies underneath...but I freed them (please don't kill me, MIP collectors!), so those photos will follow.

All the backs are the same. If anyone likes collecting packaging, I have seven empty packages that I'd be happy to disperse to other collectors who would like one.

The mould for the right-facing pony is a little "off" in some sets - a few ponies' faces look a tad melty :P

And yet others looked just fine.

Some of their symbols are very lightly printed as well.
I realize I forgot to take photos of their stamper bottoms, so I can add those later, or provide better close-ups of the rump symbols if anyone is interested! :)

I've been looking for them since roughly 2001 or 2002, lol! I discovered them way back when Silvedawn's "Petite Pocket" site was THE source on Petite Ponies. I drooled over them ever since!
The seller has now put more MOC sets of these on Ebay, and they show up on the US site now. I found them initially on Ebay.it, and struggled to log in via the US site and find them again - they just didn't wat to show up for US buyers, even though the auction was open to worldwide customers.
I'd rather not disclose what I paid, but it was **NOT** what the raw math would add up to based on her current listing prices!!!!!!! :blink: :lol: She was a great seller who worked with me the whole way through our transaction. So if anyone else wants a grail item for their Petite collection and has trouble finding the new listings, I'd be happy to help you locate them!
