Italian Variants and Crystal Rainbow Castle!

[ShayminMarx]

I haven't posted... anything actually, on the forums, so I though this would be a great start!

A few weeks ago I came across a cheap (about $5 actually) Italian Peachy on Ebay and won the auction! Her symbol has some odd wrinkles in it, but either way she's near-perfect!

Then, after posting something about her on Tumblr, I was contacted by another collector who was selling some of her Italian variations. I ended up buying an Italian variant of Bubbles as well! Due to shipping costs, I did pay a lot more than I originally wanted to for her, but I was more than willing to since I've wanted a sitting pose pony for a while.

They came about four days apart I believe, and I was so excited to get them! They're my first ever Nirvana ponies!

Also, last week while I was on vacation in Virginia, I found this awesome set in a thrift store for $6!

(Sorry about the awful quality!)

THIS WAS AN AMAZING FIND! I only found out about this castle about a week ago, and I fell in love with it, but I thought there was no way I would be able to find one at a decent price. Boy was I wrong. While the battery compartment has some corrosion, and I needed to clean it a lot, but I'm quite happy that I found it in decent condition with all it's stickers and paint still on. Now I just need to find some accessories for it... For now, it's going to house my Equestria Girls, Funkos, and other things.

Italian Peachy and Bubbles are very lovely. That castle is beautiful, too. Congrats on your new additions!

Ponies that were made in foreign countries, as well as rare variants and prototypes. The regular US versions have China/Hong Kong stamped on the bottoms of their feet, while the Nirvana ponies will have their country of manufacture stamped on the feet (like the Italy ponies above) or no country at all. There is a forum for the discussion of Nirvana ponies. Hopefully, I got that right. Nirvanas are pretty new to me, too.

Oh I love that castle!  I haven't actually seen it either...chalk that one up to my wish list.    I'm loving pony playsets more and more.

I saw that someone already got back to you, but I only found out recently myself honestly.
