Title: For the Petite Fans - Italian Stamper Full Collection!
Post by: jillrose on October 20, 2020, 12:24:03 PM
This is x-posted to the brag Arena - hope that's OK! :) Mods please delete if I'm breaking a rule here.  I am just so excited to share about this with fellow Petite fans!

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.

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!  :)

These are so cool! I'd heard of them, but had no idea there were so many! The orange one in the last pic appears to be suffering the worst from meltyface syndrome. Also, it's seriously bugging me that the Pony WonderIand logo uses a capital I instead of an l. I'm sorry if that disturbs anybody else!

Oh, no...now I will never be able to un-see that capital I!!!  :shocked:
