Title: Flea finds ! NBBE baby Cuddles, Italian Cotton Candy, Minty stamper
Post by: RoseNoire on March 25, 2018, 10:42:25 AM

Hi everyone ! I'm so happy to find G1s in the wild like this. *squee*

They are all in that link (Twitter) : https://twitter.com/RoseNoire66613/status/977955500426956800
Translation :
<< *squee* Super flea marked that made my day !
- Baby Cuddles (1984) Look at that face, it's so cute ! *hgn*
- Cotton Candy (1982) (Italian variant)
- Minty (2000~ish, don't know where it's from yet) >>

So yeah, I'm hyper happy, I got both G1s for 3€ and Minty for 1€.
But there are two small problems, lol.
In the wiki about Cuddles ( http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Baby_Cuddles ), it is said that the freckled one is made in China, but there is a mistake here, because mine has freckles and  was clearly made in Honk Kong.
Also, where does this adorable Minty come from ? Do you have any idea ? I have none. ^^

Have a nice day everyone ! Hope you enjoy my new ones like I do. I've got 155 ponies now. yay. More ponies. *-*

Congrats! :D

Definitely a typo in the wiki, my Cuddles is the same haha. It confused me for awhile before I decided it must've just been an error on the wiki itself  :think:

The Minty looks to be a prize figurine of some sort but I can't find anything on her, either. Hmm. I'll take a better look later and try to find her for you!

Edit: Found her! She appears to have been the topper of a stamp!

Oh woaaah, thank you !! You're so effective ! :lol: Thanks a lot for the identification ! =D
Well, she can't be a stamper, but I'm sure she'd look lovely on top of a cake ! Haha, well, gotta need a baker for that cake now. x)

Nice finds.  I was thinking that small minty looked like one of the G1 stamp toppers that I have.  Interesting that they must have done something similar with the newer gens.  Nice ID, Dakota!  :D

Yay, thanks to all of you. =)) :newpony: There's a chance I could find more ponies from those sellers next week, because it's a weekly flea market, they told me they'll be bringing some more. I hope I'll find them. =D

Not a problem! I love researching stuff, especially ponies. Ooh, great idea, I'll bet she would make an excellent cake topper!

Also good luck on your next pony hunt  :frolic:

Thanks ! Actually, I'm finding quite a few of them from time to time. My real pain is getting G2s though. It's been a long time since I found some, but there were MOCs that day. ^^ Maybe you'll get lucky next time. =)
