I've decided that I'm going to grow my collection of G1 Petite Ponies. I remember having the Music Twinkle Set as a little girl and they are just so sweet.
So I would love to see if anyone else collects them specifically (or doesn't for any particular reason) and I would love to see any collections!!
Also, are there super rare ones/sets? Can a Petite Pony be super expensive? Any information or discussion welcome!!
-
I think the more expensive/valuable ones are those that were made in Year 9 (glowing magic, bright sight, and twinkle pony sets).
Here's a good resource about the different petite pony sets: http://www.ponylandpress.com/petites/
I have maybe 10-12 petites: a couple from the Pretty Pony Parade and the rest are all from the Ponytail sets. They were the very first ponies I started buying as an adult MLP collector. My main interest was the Ponytail sets because those were the ones I had as a kid.
-
The rarest and by far the most expensive petites are the G2 Toyfair petites. They were distributed at the 1997 Toyfair as a promotional item, and the are next to impossible to find. The last set that came up for sale was several years ago, and went for over $500(MIP). I have 2 sets - MIP and loose. I was in the community when they came out, which is how most people who have them, got them.
Here they are:

I collect petites, and I have the full line:) The Bright Sight, Twinkle, and Glowing petites are the hardest to find and most popular, but there are some European versions of playset petites that are hard to track down as well. Basically, for each playset there was a special petite released with it. The USA got molded hair versions, and Europe got the "ponytail" versions. This is true for all the smaller playsets, but the castle only had the ponytail ones for USA and European release. The ponytail ones are usually harder to find.
Here are some of my other petites:

I have not really taken any photos of my collection, but aside from the G2s my collection is complete (I believe).

Ok WOW!! I had no idea that there were G2 Petites. I get waaay to excited when I find out about new ponies I didn't know about. My poor bank balance......
All these petite collection pictures are giving me heart palpitations! I think i'm in love :lovey:

Thanks PeachyPie. I did see one on Ebay recently but I couldn't bring myself to pay $40 for one petite pony.

YIKES!! $40! I struggle to pay that for a regular G1.

Those sparkle petites are sooo htf! And sooooo expensive! I had a full set of the sparkle petites from childhood, but sold them to a collector in 99. :( I sold the whole set for $25. I regret it ever day!
-
I have most of them, but still lacking some sparkle petites and a couple of bright sights and playset ones. I got lucky a couple of years ago and managed to get the almost complete set of bright sights and all the glowing magic petites off ebay. There was an auction last week with most of the sparkle petites mixed in, but I had to let it go because I had already spent a big amount on something else. I hope to have the whole set one day as well as the g2's.

Drool.... you should totally let me know if you ever decide to sell them. I would pay a kidney and a leg for sure :P
I've been collecting on and off for a couple of years now, mostly G1 and G2 stuff but it has varied. Always had a large interest in the petites and other small ponies I have around 65 of them and only missing a few of the glowing ones. My favorite of the odd bunch are the euro stamper versions. Apparently there were 6-7 different of poses and colors that were sold. My Little Wiki has a good list of them.

I have a load of these from childhood, they are still at my parents place and need to be rescued! I had nearly all the UK release playsets and I think all the ponies have the curly spiral hair. I'm sure I've got the same pony eg pizza pony in different colours but can't see that on these examples. I don't have any from the second year. I'll have to go and get them. I've got a castle I can't see on these pictures. Unfortunately the playsets are in bits and the plastic is discoloured.

More than likely.
The first 3 sets that were released contained 4 ponies per set. Each set contained the same symbols. It is not uncommon to have 3 different colored ponies all with the same symbols... Then if you get in variations with symbol size there are even more in the mix.

Yikes, I have that set MIB! Any offers for $500.? LOL I also have the Glowing Magics, Bright Sights and the Twinkles and Sparkles....I need price check on those as someone wants to buy them. Just ballpark of average price for VGC individuals from those sets are fetching these days. Thanks! Jeanne

Based on ebay...
Petites (Glow (12), Twinkles (12) & Bright Sights (12)) are still bringing in a decent price, although as of late they have not held up a very good market price individually.
When sold in lots they do pretty well, but loose on auction (from a reasonable starting point) they are anywhere from $15- $25 each. There are several re-sellers or flippers that list them for around $40 each. Some people are willing to pay these prices, but they do sit (get relisted) for a time before selling.
Many of us desperate to complete a set are more willing to spend big bucks.
If you sell them based by set of 4 around $80-125 is about average. If you were to list all of yours by set on ebay probably easily upwards of $125/ set as people are willing to bid high when combined shipping is offered.
The better the condition the higher someone is willing to pay.
... I don't think that was very helpful was it?

Weren't the stammers confirmed as fakies? I thought someone found them mib and they were not hasbro made?
-
I'm not sure but it wouldnt surprise me since they hold lesser quality than the MLP petites. I like them anyway though, same mold and neon colors and all that :)
-
there were German shoppes too! With German stickers :) I finally got all 3!
