Does anyone have all 12 Alternate Birth Flower ponies? Or does anyone have a picture of all 12 together? I want to see them! :lol:

I have all 12. It took about 4 years of aggressively searching to complete the set. There are actually 13... December/Holly has 2 versions: red leaves/green berries & green leaves/red berries. I'm still missing the green leaf version.

I can't seem to post a pic from photobucket via my phone, but here's a direct link to a picture.

Edit: Oops! That pic was taken before I got Violet & Rose. I will get a current picture to post later today. ;)

Beautiful pic! I never knew Holly had a variant. Is one more common than the other?

Im not 100% sure, but I think Holly with red leaves was sold in the Scandinavian market & Holly with green leaves was sold in the Aussie market. It makes me wonder if there aren't other differences between the 2 locations. They were sold on completely different cards, so it's possible that they were made in a completely different production run.

If these were sold in Aus, then why have I never even found one ever. But I found UK Princess Sparkle. :huh: they're very pretty though. One day I might try and get them.

Hey, Mimic was sold in the US, but I've never found one in 15 years of pony hunting at yard sales, flea markets, & thrift stores. Keep looking & maybe you'll be lucky one day. :bigups:

:dribble: Beautiful! I may try to collect these girls once I have a few more of the Argies I want!! All the ones I have seen either have major flaws like haircuts or are $500 so it would take a while, I'm sure. Of course, I don't mind re-hairing but I know it's probably considered a sin with a pony that rare ;)

On average, I paid $120-150 each. The most I paid was $250 a piece for 2 of them (one was totally mint & the other was my long awaited Violet). Many of them have flaws of some sort. November has a pretty serious hair cut. I bought most of them from members here on the Arena. They are a beautiful set & even with a few flaws, they are one of my favorite parts of my collection. :biggrin:
