How do you feel about the Venezuelan ponies?

[Glacia471]

I have pictures of just about all the ones that I've seen (I think I missed getting a shot of the yellow Lickety-Split), but since they're not mine I wanna give their owners a chance to show them off 

Of all the ones I don't have, I think Ember1's got my favorites! That white Medley, yellow Blossom, and until LuvMyBoy receives her, that blue Cotton Candy!

OMG that Firefly and Medley!!!! Who exactly found them and the MIB ponies?

[LilSpark]

Those ponies give me hope that there are more undiscovered ponies out there and that I could be the lucky one to find one of them

I find them beautiful but I also find it very weird that so many are popping up MIB. I have a funny feeling that some seller in South America who owns a toy factory is having fun making these in all sorts of crazy colours and is having a great time "fooling" the entire MLP collecting community! But I'm sure that's just me being paranoid Still, I would just love to see a couple of these exact same ponies pop up for sale, all damaged and frizzy, because they were actually played with by a child at some point in time!

Anyways, my only wish is that nobody ever finds a Venezuelan version of Heart Throb. The SA version was enough of a shock for me and then I just had to buy her and that put a big hole in my wallet

I guess you could have said the same when all those greek MIP ponies popped up around 6 years ago... They were all over ebay constantly. But its just a case of someone finding leftover stock from the 80's ... thank god because its really nice to see how they were marketed. I don't think anyone has ever found a MIB colombian.

You're right about there being quite a few MOC Greeks... I wasn't collecting much 6 years ago and I was definately not collecting Nirvanas so I missed that I'd still love to see a "well-loved" Venezuelan pony though!

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking in the back of my mind, too! haha

I am glad they showed up MIB and loose...I love to see the packages...

I am still waiting for a moc indian to show up!

[Bellevi]

How did the community come into the knowledge that so many NC ponies were actually Venezuelan? Is there a thread that somebody could point me to?

OK now I have to totally second sillymoosie's paranoia... these "oh look what I happen to have..." kinda things do happen, but it's kinda a obvious coincidence (well of course a toy collector/reseller might connect up with a stash of MLP) given the expertise field/geography.  Please know I don't want to be a killjoy on those with fun $$ to spend and the happygiggles ya get for being "the first kid on the block" = I just happen to be the sort that never got into that "new car smell" if I knew I could get the discount from someone who'd returned their new car a week later = a week old car with 100 miles is still a new car to me, and for $5K less - you betcha I'm more interested

I love love love the bright beautiful colors, but now I am totally scared to be an early adopter sort if there are lots more of these toys out there = and I prefer ponies loose anyway - easier to take glam pictures and all :-)  (Toy Story's Stinky Pete forever ruined it for me as a true collector type, I guess)

happy to see that there are more of these fantastic ponies = yay for the gallery being back to add to the portfolio =  and please keep me posted when the loose ponies start arriving :-)

[CrystalCrown]

i like them! they're truly beautiful, and their color combos rock!

i love the blue cotton candy, glacia's Lickety split, and the starshines and the new cherries jubilee (white/pink) that just showed up!

but i wonder where they're all coming from all of a sudden?

[relcelestia]

i looooves them!!!
not interested in the MIB ones

and i think in a couple years the price will go waaaay down
maybe if im still collecting by then ill swoop one up!
especially the blue ones!!!

[psyknife]

I think I need to add to my Firefly collection.

I do, also, think it's weird they just *appeared*, though.

[TwoMore]

Im just waiting for some loose ones to show up. Im really not a MIB collector, so im dying for some played with ponies. Especially a blue CC!
