Hi ponies,
Updating the Nirvana Gallery got me thinking about collecting and my own collection. I added up in my mind which countries I have nirvana ponies from and which I don't.
Argentina - yes
Brazil - yes
Colombia -yes
France - yes
Greece - yes
Hong Kong/China ‘error’ ponies (eg. Reverse Gusty, Princesses and Happy Tail oddities) - yes
India - NO
Italy - yes
Japan -yes
Macau - NO
Mexico - yes
Peru - yes
South Africa -yes
Spain - yes
No Country - yes
Thailand (Mountain Boys only) - NO (this is super had though, only a handful have been found)
Venezuela - yes
Which Nirvana countries do you have in your collection and what are you missing?
I know some collectors have made it a goal to get a pony made from each nirvana country :bigups: for others this has happened accidently.
Love pkw xxx

Interesting topic! :) I belong to those collectors who think owning at least one from each country would be lovely, but I can't see it happening because of how rare and pricey some of them are, especially Thailand Mountain Boys (Thai Ice Crystal is high on my want list though) and South African ponies (which I'll probably never own because I don't like their rooted tail. so I'm not prepared to pay 1000 and more for a SA pony). I really like SA Seashell and Moonstone though, were it not for their odd-looking tail.
Argentina - yes
Brazil - no
Colombia -no
France - yes
Greece - yes
Hong Kong/China ‘error’ ponies (eg. Reverse Gusty, Princesses and Happy Tail oddities) - hm. I'm not even sure to be honest. but I definitely don't own any of the ones mentioned
India - no
Italy - yes - all of my first childhood ponies (except for Majesty) were Italians
Japan -no
Macau - yes
Mexico - no
Peru - yes
South Africa -no
Spain - no
No Country - yes
Thailand (Mountain Boys only) - no (I really want Thai Ice Crystal)
Venezuela - no
-
Argentina - yes

Hong Kong/China ‘error’ ponies (eg. Reverse Gusty, Princesses and Happy Tail oddities) - NO

Argentina, Greece, Italy. None other than that,, as Germany & the Netherlands aren't counted here
My Italians are all variants (no Re Unicorno in Moondancer pose yet)
My three Argies are two rainbow versions of other Ponies & one unique Pony, plus three Baby outfits (seeking the Birthday outfit)
Meanwhile I now have two Greeks: one unique, & one variant, as well as four Greek outfits (seeking Greek winter & Greek skates)
One Butterscotch from each other country is sought, as is the Brazilian dressed Gusty (love her outfit!!!)
Also other unique Ponies (like some of the Piggies) are also sought

I definately wish I had more countries represented in my herd, but it seems my collection goals has shifted a bit lately, so havent bought much nirvanas for quite some time now.
But here's the list
Argentina - yes
Brazil - yes
Colombia - no, but want
France - yes
Greece - yes
Hong Kong/China ‘error’ ponies (eg. Reverse Gusty, Princesses and Happy Tail oddities) - yes
India - NO
Italy - yes
Japan -no
Macau - yes
Mexico - yes
Peru - yes
South Africa - no, but would love to have!
Spain - yes
No Country - yes
Thailand (Mountain Boys only) - NO
Venezuela - No, but would love to have

I am one of those collectors aiming for a pony from every country. Unfortunately given the way prices have skyrocketed since I last chased Nirvanas on ebay, its not looking like a goal I'll ever reach. But I'll keep looking!
Argentina - yes
Brazil - yes
Colombia - yes
France - yes
Greece - yes
Hong Kong/China ‘error’ ponies (eg. Reverse Gusty, Princesses and Happy Tail oddities) - yes
India - yes
Italy - yes
Japan - do the Jun Planning keychain mini ponies count? If so, yes, if not, no.
Macau - yes
Mexico - yes
Peru - yes
South Africa - no
Spain - yes
No Country - yes
Thailand (Mountain Boys only) - no, since we're not counting fancy pants babies
Venezuela - yes, assuming squeaky butts count
I've been chasing South African ponies for a very long time, but the price has never been right for me. More power to those who find them and/or can afford them, I still enjoy seeing your pictures and dreaming!

I'd sure like to. I know it's unrealistic to think I could on a limited income but stars above, I'd do anything to have some of these ponies!! So far, I've managed to get ones from Italy, France, Brazil, Macau, Peru, and the UK... all of which is miraculous to me because again, limited income. I feel blessed to have them and would defend them with my life. But at the same time... I've dreamt at length of finding ponies from places like South Africa, ones like Japan's completely unique Takara line, complete aesthetic overhalls of certain characters like the unicorn Bow Ties from Peru (I already have the pegasus Blossoms to match.) Or maybe the pegasus versions of Moonstone or Truly! The unicorn Sprinkles? Or even entirely regional exclusive characters like Germany's Nightlight and Raindrop, or Greece's Ladybird...I could go on!
