I feel terrible asking this, as I was a member of the Arena (thought not really actively collecting) when the Venezuelan ponies were discovered. I started collecting only six years ago, so this was the first time I eye-witnessed G1s being discovered. Sadly, I can't recall how it all went down. I remember seeing that pretty, pink-haired Lickety Split that everyone was drooling over. The next time I checked in, it seemed that not only had she been proven to be a Venezuelan, but a bunch of others had been discovered and sold.
Would anyone like to school me? How were they discovered and distributed exactly? Do we know how many are in distribution?
I was also thinking that it might be interesting to do some sort of "Nirvana census" in the future so that we can get an approximation of how many Nirvanas by country are in circulation. I think breaking it down by individual pony might be a bit too difficult and time-consuming to do, but maybe there is a decent way to go about it. Or perhaps we could just do a census on the rarest of the rare or only ponies in different poses or color combinations than their US counterparts. Thoughts? Obviously the data would be dependent on how many collectors are active and agree to contribute statistics, but still, I think it might be a great project for the Nirvana community to tackle.
-
All I can recall from their discovery was that a woman had some from her childhood and some ended up on evilbay. I wonder if word got around to others in Venezuela that then decided to sell theirs or if someone who heard of it had worked at the factory and/or had access to a warehouse?
I know there were abandoned warehouse ponies involved down the line.
-
I remember the first ebay listing for them was some man who had an auction of 3 squeaky butt type ponies, I think two teal blossoms and a green Pegasus (forgot which one the Pegasus was) with the title "Venezuela my little pony", and at the time nobody on here really knew that Venezuela made mlp. Them more loose ponies, both squeaky butt types and regular types with normal rooted hair started showing up on ebay, and right after that was when all the MIB regular Venezuelan ponies from the warehouses started showing up, then right after that some of the squeaky butt type ponies started showing up in package. So basically they all mostly started popping up on ebay.
-
Oh gosh I am going to have to dig about in my dusty memory!
I know we had a number of them listed in the "unknown" section of the gallery (the red, yellow and white Medely's) also there was a website (PonyLandTours oddities) from waaaaaaay back 2004 or so that had a couple of pictures the Blossoms (Green with pink hair) Delanys also had a Blossom (green and white) I recall seeing pictures of her before we knew she was Venezuelan.

Did some digging and found a post from Shelti in February of 2012.
As mentioned before in other Venezuelan Threads, the two main suppliers of these MIB seem to be toy Collectors.
They have either been lucky enough to get them from OLD toy stock
or in a recent purchase of boxed lots that may have been in storage down there.
I love the idea of a census because I'm a very curious kitty. :blush:
-
That's right Chi :) there was a old toy warehouse in which all the ponies were found.

i remember reading stuff in threads about the 'acid blossom' that delaynes had maaaany years ago that nobody knew what it was where it was from or anything about it, but that was some time before that lickety split showed up.
-
I don't remember Lickerty! I do remember acid Blossom though :P
Love pkw xxx
-
Acid Blossom had been around for a looooong time. Before I started collecting even! Didn't think she was the Delaneys' though? Looking at my pictures there are two - 'Acid Blossom' with yellow hair and one with white hair. No idea where I saved the white hair pic from, so that could have been theirs. Looks like I saved the yellow hair pic to my pc in 2007, but it had been around long time before that. It was in the days when digital cameras were rare and scanned ponies more common:)
White Lickety was significantly later, I think when a collection was being sold off by the Delaneys, but it wasn't their collection. Tootsie had also been around in the same collection and is now with kkv I think. I remember he being sold originally in 2002 and she was top of my wantlist for years.
Again looking at my pics, looks like a green Lickety surfaced around 2010. I also have a few others kicking around in that folder that are quite possibly Vennies now I look at them ;)
Anyway, that was a very long winded way of saying that some of them had been around for years, but we weren't sure of the country of origin. I don't actually recall exactly how it happened, but suddenly certain ponies started flooding in MIB. There are some we think are probably Venezuelan that haven't been seen in box yet (and possibly never will now. I'm not convinced there isn't one more country of manufacture out there yet! :drunk:
-
I seem to recall a toy dealer who joined the Arena to sell MIB Venezuelan ponies, and he had some info about the factory that produced the ponies. Then there were all of the problems with customs opening the boxes and tearing the ponies apart/cutting them/etc. I think an Arena member bought the rest of his stock, then sold them off. And the owner of White Lickety used her as a profile pic for awhile. The Wiki gives Glacia credit for the pic. Sorry, I know that's all really vague, but it might help you find more info. I don't own any myself -- I am just an admirer.
-
Glacia didn't know Lickety was Venezuelan, but their discovery brought that to light. She was also a pony from Delaneys with an unknown origin and still a OOAK as of today.
There was another user with their plum Posey with yellow flowers who didn't know its origin until the Vene discovery. Also OOAK.. :shrug:
I do remember the toy collector, now that you mention it. I wonder if he is still around, I'm sure he could help us get some information. :)
-
Found him! He is mainly an action figure collector, so it looks like he just signed up here to sell his ponies. I didn't really see much info, but I just skimmed his posts.

Yes, that's him. He hasn't logged in since last November.
I remember him being a pretty nice guy and offered to replace SoSilver's Venezuelan free of charge when it was destroyed by customs.
It looks like we're on our own when it comes to digging up the history, unless there's any Venezuelan members hiding around who may be able to tell us more. I do vaguely remember Angelponies had a friend there, or perhaps Angel can help us herself with the backstory and anything else. :)
If anyone knows anything, feel free to share! :cheer:

Thank you, all you historians. hehe

Angel Ponies has the whole history of the Ware house Veny's and it's probably on the new arena here in a thread some where.

-
Ooooh, nice list shelti! I keep forgetting I'm missing a couple of Tootsies (white with blue hair and turquoise with coral hair).

You are a Nirvana guru, shelti! I will read through those threads soon.

OK, updated the list with Wizzer128's ponies
There does seem to be a lot more OOAK's though.

Wow. This thread just blew my mind. :shocked: *sits down* Teach me more.

Plum Posey photos can be found here, http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,289271.0.html (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,289271.0.html)
Sadly her provenance is lost to the sands of time - I bought her from a flea market in Ontario in the late nineties. She was with a lot of other ponies from a toy dealer, so impossible to say even if she originally came with the group; they were all normal US/Can releases though.
-
She still makes me :dribble: !
-
I like the name Plum, I added that to the list after her color.
-
Well,
One day Tuney, a Mummy & Daddy Venezuelan plastic mold had a romantic dinner and had many baby Venezuelan's.
The end.

I missed this, was it on ebay? Do you have any pictures to share for me to drool over? lol
I am in awe of how many Venezuelan Posey there are alone, let alone the rest. I've got 5 myself (4 of which are squeaky butts lol), love them but I can't collect them all. :biggrin: :P

Ooooh she's a pretty girl, thanks!
For some reason none of Dorina's ended auctions show up on the Aus ebay site, I'll have to remember that in future. I just bought a few squeaky butts from Dorinda but they never mentioned this gorgeous girl when I was asking after Poseys, considering the price she went they wanted an auction not a BIN but a heads ups about her would have been nice. (not that I could even afford her lol) :P

That list Shelti! You have really done a great job keeping up to speed with all the variants that keep popping up :bigups:

I have a few pics that I've saved that don't seem to be on the list :)
Blossom - blue with bubblegum pink hair
Blossom - green with white hair
Blossom - yellow with yellow hair
Lickety Split - very light lime green with yellow hair
Tootsie - green with blue hair
Tootsie - yellow with dark pink hair
I saved the photos for my own use and I can't remember whose they are; do you think it would be ok to post them even if I can't credit?
-
Sarah-Bee we might be able to track the owners down by seeing the pictures :)
If you credit as not knowing who the owner is, it gives them chance to speak up.
Love pkw xxx

That's what I thought but wanted to check :)
Ok here they are :)
As said above I don't know who these photos belong to

Did I miss the green Lickety Split with pink hair on the list? One recently sold on ebay. I have one also. And I'm pretty sure I remember someone posting on the Arena that they had one also. Other than that I have no idea!

I think yellow Cherries belongs to KKV :) Tootsie is angelponies andI'm sure minty Blossom is delenys.

Thanks for the photo ID guys :D

I have the same mint coloured with white hair Blossom pic saved - think I remember where I saved it from, but not whose it was!
My thinking on the Tootsie is that she is yellow, but the lighting is making her look a bit green :)

Not any biggie sarah-bee, and pictures are always welcome along with ones that may have been missed, we were out of town so just got back and catching up.
the yellow CJ belongs to Jenny (kit kat vintage) and came from Helen's collection, and for some reason the green blossom with fading pink hair was not but should have been at the bottom of the list as NC, I have added her to the list proper now.
Feel Better

You can see the hint of pink at the tail base.

The pink in the mane is definitely there too! The camera flash looks to have brought it out a bit and it matches the shade of pink in the tail. She's a pretty lady, too bad there haven't been any others. :(
Also shelti, if you'd like me to, I could organize and make the list uniform tomorrow for you! It's going to be an uneventful day tomorrow and I know you um... Y'know.. Have a life. :lmao:

Just adjusted the Veny list again... Because of the variety of red hair I changed my list again
5 applejack yellow with red or dark red (magenta) hair
-
If you look at the other thread I believe all of the red haired Ajs have been posted.
Looks like there are two magenta red haired applejacks, one deep Cherry red haired aj with gold body, and three medium red haired Ajs. Mine is the one sold on ebay last week by Ed with the deep cherry red hair.

I have decided because of the quality or lack of it of some of the pictures to lump them together as red or dark red on my list. To really verify a color difference in the hair you would need to have the actual ponies to compare. As far as body coloration, as seen with Tootsie a quality control issue in most cases.
These ponies were all sold by Ed / Dorindarules on ebay

The top one appears to have darker hair than the others but that's it. :blink:
They'd have to all be photographed in bright lighting without flash to try verifying. I didn't realize they were that similar from auction photos.
Would it be fair to say 1 with dark red hair and 4 with red hair?

Also Chi, if you notice the Oct pony picture from ebay has been faded to disguise the marks on the face. Some of the pictures have been enhanced, notice the hair distortion.
-
Actually that photo is not altered. This pony is very pale and not yellow like the others but pale golden.
I bought this pony and her hair is super dark. Here are comparison photos.
She looks to be different than the others. It would be great if we were able to compare them side by side.

The top one appears to have darker hair than the others but that's it. :blink:
They'd have to all be photographed in bright lighting without flash to try verifying. I didn't realize they were that similar from auction photos.
Would it be fair to say 1 with dark red hair and 4 with red hair?
Also Chi, if you notice the Oct pony picture from ebay has been faded to disguise the marks on the face. Some of the pictures have been enhanced, notice the hair distortion.
Now I see it. Yikes..
Embers photo looks different from the listing photo, for sure. Usually the auction photos are taken with flash but that one was intentionally taken in poor lighting without flash..
That pony is pretty light from embers photos, but the face area looks a bit blurred from how it actually looks.
The marks aren't bad at all, I don't think she will have any issues removing them. :)
Maybe we shouldn't try to go in and decipher shades of red.
Otherwise we will end up with a questionable book.

That's what I decided to do with my List

I just want to pop in and remind everyone that someone at the MLPFair (I forget who) was selling some beautiful rehaired squeakybutts - we need to remember not to lump those in with the regular Vennies!
-
Absolutely! I haven't seen any of them myself, though. I imagine they look amazing.
Some of those squeaky butts have had really nice colour schemes and they have the potential to look great. :D

Gah! My Biggest Gripe are un marked Customs . I sure hope who ever made them marked them. I don't put any Veny that is not coming direct form
Venezuela on my list, unless I have inside info. It's too easy to start duplicating ones that are being resold on the Secondary market
-
Ahh, this is an amazing thread! So glad I found it.
There are so many pretty Venezuelans, I also remember reading about them starting to pop up when they did (2012?) and just being overly excited about !new ponies being found! How amazing is that!
Also, great job on your detective work guys, and keeping list of what has been seen around, that is truly great!
I don't own any Venezuelan ones, but there seem to be so many great and different versions out there. I'm totally in love with the 'plum' Posey, just can't get over her unique colour. Ahhhhh. Keep up the detective work guys!
:lovey:

Hehehehe, I'll have a new one to add to the list in a few days. :awake:

They're amazing, aren't they? It's awesome to have new "old" toys in 2014. Like discovering a hidden cavern filled with treasures, we have no idea what's around the next corner.
The Venezuelan sellers seem to discover them just as we do. I assume some are from consignment stores and flea markets.. :shrug:
Who knows what undiscovered colours are going to pop up next. It's exciting!!

I'm right with you! I've always been such a dork for pony mysteries lol. It's always super exciting to hear about some new ponies/variations pop up that we hadn't known to ever exists! I hope we will keep finding them, and I'm sure we will. There's always some dark secret corners in the world no one thought of looking, I'm sure ^.^ Hooray for all the pony mysteries in the world.
:nerdy:

Ah, she's here! :lovey:
Hair is definitely a factory job. :)

She is stunning, Chi! Just stunning.

:dropjaw:
This whole thread was a fantastic read. I know so little about ponies from other countries... (let alone my own XD) A while back I became obsessed with the blue Venezuelan Cotton Candy with the pink hair (followed by the Venezuelan Blossom with the identical color scheme) after looking them up on mylittlewiki... definitely dream ponies. :heart:
That Posey is GORGEOUS! Congratulations!
-
She is stunning, Chi! Just stunning.
Thank you! I absolutely adore her. :blush:
M...maybe I'll make a brag thread when all my new ladies are cleaned and dried. :devious:
I don't like making those threads...but.. this sassy lady might be offended to not get some spotlight. >u>
@Hannah: Blossom and Cotton Candy pop up a lot! Maybe you can save your money and buy yourself one for Christmas!
Edit: For historical purposes, SFlame did her get directly from Venezuela. :)
-
She definitely deserves a brag thread, I would love to see more photos!
Ooh, how often is a lot? I don't know if I can save for one for a few months at least. XD Is there an average price range? To give me an idea of what I'd be saving. ^_^

The price ranges are all over the place (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=my+little+pony+venezuela&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc)...
But those two are a bit less pricy. Maybe someone here will have one for sale. :)
-
Thank you! I've saved a few ebay searches to look into later. :D Glad to know they aren't one of the OOAK ponies.
