Post by: Wardah on September 14, 2021, 01:12:27 AM

Does anyone know more about them? They seem to be hard to find.

I don't know much about them, but I found one at a thrift store a while ago.

There were regular mermaid ones that were released in stores in the US. Those aren't hard to find at all. It's the blind bag series that was only released in Europe that seems hard to find.

Oh, I wasn't aware. Sorry about that.  ^^;

I'm not sure if any other European countries had them, but mine came from Germany (from an Arena member back in 2010!).

I agree they are hard to find, these didn't get a wide distribution and they came out at a time when G3 was plummeting in popularity. The Ponyville mermaids were kinda a last-ditch effort to drum up some interest. I never see them come up in ebay lots of pony stuff.

Kinda like Mimic, ya know? No one much wanted them when they were made, now they're hard to find since not a lot of collectors got them to resell.

halicabi, awesome photos! I've never seen a complete set together, before!
