Are they nirvanas?

[Hope1989]

I was wondering about some ponies... I haven't thought they can be some kind of nirvanas but today I was checking nirvana sales found them.

I'm curious because I have them and I didn't think about them in nirvana way xP

So... Are those ponies nirvanas?

Nope not nirvanas general release in Europe I think.

Yes, they're regular Euro release ponies.

Oh so I was thinking good

But now I'm still thinking - why they were between real nirvanas? Maybe they're rare or sth?

I consider the german princesses and rainbows (nightlight,raindrop,skydancer) inbetween ponies, because they were a regular release as in made in HK/china but also nirvana'ry aswell.. If that makes any sense.. or maybe it's just my perception as I live here and they come up more often...?

There are so many European released ponies that to include them under the Nirvana umbrella would cause so much crossover with Pony Corral, as most European issue ponies are well known and reasonably available.

Nirvana ponies are primarily those that are made in countries other than China or Hong Kong, regardless of how common they are (for example, Italy Peachy and NC Sundance are both really common, but still count as Nirvanas!). There are a few exceptions to this though, that are included due to specific area releases (eg. Dutch ponies and German ponies), though equally they can be included in Pony Corral also.

Just to confuse the issue, there are very rare variants of Babies Billie and Susie in alternate poses that are considered Nirvana

Defining Nirvana can be a bit of grey area - mainly because there are so many exceptions to every rule you could try to impose.

Although these guys are not Nirvana - they are some of the cutest G1s about in my opinion
