Title: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: Ember1 on August 21, 2012, 04:35:10 PM: Sigh.. I have a special place in my heart for these gals. The last colombian I acquired was over 2 years ago! (reverse bowtie... see below)
Sadly I remember a time when they were all over ebay. I guess this will be the way Venezuelans will be eventually. Sad too because I was really
quite fond of Collecting these gals in mint shape.... Do you think another surge of Colombians will hit the market again?

Who was the last Colombian that you bought? Pics please

Post by: maycrestmom on August 22, 2012, 11:05:19 AM: I snagged SFlame's pink bowtie and sent her over to PKW for a rehair ;-) no pics of her "after" yet... other than that I missed out on this I think OOAK (?)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item46065232e5&item=300753760997&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&si=m%252Fvgdus5cD%252Fnn6uo2VfbLv%252FcXgg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

so hoping she went to an arena home so we can see her again = now that color is a bluebelle, a bowtie and CP blossom

drooling over that reverse bowtie = just a beautiful pony :-)

Isn't he a dream?

Post by: Rosencrantz on August 22, 2012, 11:55:06 PM: The ponies in this thread are beautiful! I've never seen an alt coloured boy before either.
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: LadyGuinevere on August 23, 2012, 04:22:33 AM: Wow, he is gorgeous! Although I am also drooling at the backdrop, lol!

I think the slowdown of Colombians was kind of inevitable after the intial influx. We've seen it in varying degrees with the other Nirvana countries as well. Once all the initial/easily accessible stock is gone, it just depends on what gets found, so it moves along a bit slower. Who knows though, we could see some more soon :)

Post by: Ember1 on August 23, 2012, 05:55:21 AM: I don't remember seeing a yelloe colombian boy without
A forelock. Had he been rehaired at all? If not I like him
With no forlock. See mine has one. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Post by: SFlame on August 24, 2012, 05:06:49 AM: My Colombian yellow boy doesn't have a forelock but are you sure yours isn't a rehair sternenstaub? I have four of the Colombian boys in excellent condition an without mane or tail trims and none of them have manes as long as yours?

I have 9 Colombian girls, 2 of them applejacks the rest bowties with two collectors pose, my most recent is a gorgeous hot pink bowtie will yellow hair upgrade.

The recent peach white blossom isn't OOAK, I have her too :)

I'm with Sarah Bee, the vennies have snuffed out the competition :P I've also noticed the colombians are a little scarce as of late too
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: blu_clouds on August 25, 2012, 05:15:30 AM: I remember when the Columbians first came out, and were super expensive. Now I can only imagine.

Post by: mlpkatie on August 26, 2012, 06:50:11 PM: Reverse bowtie.... *drools* I absolutely love Bowtie. She is my favorite. I am now in the process of trying to get nirvana's of her.

So you're the one who got baby apple delight. I was wondering what ever happened to him. I remember seeing him on ebay and wanted to bid, but there was too many other auctions I was interested in so didn't do it. If you ever decide to part with him, let me know.
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: sosoftbuttons on August 27, 2012, 01:54:11 AM: there was one on ebay?!?!?!? :whoa: i didnt even see that auction!! which version was it :tellme: i've been out of ponyland for a fair while this year as work has been so busy (cant complain given the global recession crisis) so its like all these vennies that suddenly appeared and i didnt know about them from when they first 'surfaced' as it were.

but seriously, i got mine outside of ebay, the purple one and a rather sorry-looking yellow & green one... pics will be donated, eventually, even if they do end up being poor quality ones from my beloved 5 yr old camera-phone ;)

so who got the ebay one? how long ago was the auction?
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: plushroo on August 27, 2012, 07:50:55 PM: The auction was around October of last year. I thought there was only one. Can't remember exactly what color he was and stupid me didn't even bother to save a picture ><. Don't know who won him.
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: maycrestmom on August 27, 2012, 08:27:02 PM: oooh I'd love to see a baby apple ... ha - writing about all these colombians I just had to "adopt" Shelti's bluebelle ;-) but yeah, other than a way overpriced abused bowtie on ebay, there is not much out there unless folks have been having mercado luck maybe? I agree the vennes have upstaged colombia of late, but love the hairblends = and still make me wonder what glacia's lickety is as the only two-tone venne (?) or maybe the only running pose colombian (?) hmmm...
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: Ember1 on August 28, 2012, 09:15:54 AM: I doubt that lickety is colombian. For one thing her symbols and eyes match exactly the other venezuelan licketiys found in different colors so She has to come from Venezuela.... There are several one of a kind vennys that duplicates have not popped up of. The medleys would be a good example. I hope we see some multi colored vennys popping up soon. I just think if they do they will pop up from childhood collections rather than MIB. It looks like only a certain portion of MIB bisanti stock was preserved (with ponies that have the same color schemes)
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: LadyGuinevere on August 28, 2012, 01:10:33 PM: I'm not 100% sure the white Lickety with two tone hair is Venezuelan, but it definitely is the leading possibility at the moment :) I also hope we see more pop up from there not MIB, if only to see what else is out there!
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: Ember1 on August 28, 2012, 01:15:03 PM: The thing is, every south american country so far has their own different take on symbols, eyes, hair length and quality, etc. Glacia's lickety matches perfectly to the other venezuelan licketies found so far. ONly difference is she has multi colored hair. I just think if another country had made her she would have different symbols, different hair, different eyes and different plastic.
Title: Re: Where have all the Colombians gone?
Post by: LadyGuinevere on August 28, 2012, 01:50:56 PM: I agree - of the countries we know, Venezuela is the best fit - she certainly doesn't seem to fit any of the others - except for that two tone hair. However, I am not convinced there is not another country out there we haven't discovered yet, hence my reservations about putting her 100% into the Venezuela catagory until we find some additional confirmation. She's not the only one either - there are a few others.
