And actually, thinking about it, I don't think it's uncommon to have a TV show in several countries and its related toys only available in some of those countries.
I am very bad at tones though :/ I had to look them up >.> I couldn't say it out loud without swearing, most likely
The characters are not the same as Japanese for the most part as its simplified Chinese. Which also means its mainland China, not Taiwan...or I think Singapore because I think traditional characters are used there as well.LM, do you have any scans up on these at all? I know you are selling them so it's a cheeky question, but it would be so much fun to try to read just a bit of it...My Mandarin is very basic but it would be fun :/
Like MLP Tales being shown in the US and none of the toys being sold here . . . What a world!
Also poverty wouldn't be that big of a limit for pony distribution, cheap licenced ponies after all made their way to even Colombia, and some better ones to Mexico. Venezuela apparently was more stable then so not counting it.

Need I continue? Just imagine having the cartoon and no ponies at all! :O If I am right in my surmise that Poland and Russia had the cartoon but no ponies, I wonder if they had any fakies?My latest titbit of European info: I was looking at auctions for some MOC ponies from a seller in Greece (Starlight Babies and Playschool Babies), and the cards have 'small print' on them in English, Portuguese, Norwegian and Greek. An unlikely combination, given how far apart those countries are geographically.
Hmmm, that is weird! Are you sure it is Norwegian and not Danish? I’ve never ever seen anything translated in Norwegian instead of Danish or Swedish.... Edit: and never ever anything MLP. We had all our backcards in English...

Thanks for pointing out it's Danish! So many things I need to double-check .If I do ever manage to put together a website about European ponies, I wonder if I might track down some experts on pony distribution in certain countries to contribute overviews of pony history in their country.... Hmm, so many (probably over ambitious!) ideas and plans!

Not sure many would have been able to do that!
