Thanks for sharing the Israel part, I always wondered since I didn't grew up or go on holiday a lot. Unfortunately I can not ask my family over there to go look on the fleamarkets or shops. Must try next year when I go Eurovision :)

come say hey when you 're around :)

In Israel everything arrive a little bit later- so with ponies
 the years ponies were sold in Israel vary – some sets were sold in Israel later than in other countries.
Although some rumors from 15 years ago- there were NO Hasbro factories in Israel so there were no stamped or unique ponies for the country.
Alas there are many variation of ponies importing from all over the world- ponies sold in Israel were range from UK/US and some foreign
My first pony was as early as 1991 – it was Spain stamped Hopscotch- I got it MOC.
I guess Israel did have the first line of MLP can't find evidence either way but its ok to assume the Year One – 1982-1983 ponies were sold in Israel.
Year 2 – 1983-1984
We had most of the ponies in this line
Including the Show-Stable with Lemon Drop.
I've never seen sea ponies nor adult or babies in the country in my many years of collecting.
And sure – no MO ponies.
Year 3- 1984-1985- Year 4- 1985-1986
Again most of the ponies were sold in Israel- including lullabye nursery with baby tiddly winks.
Rainbow and Unicorn/Peg from those sets were sold in Israel from US/UK and many NC stamped.
Year 5-7- 1986-1989
So Soft ponies were sold here with most of the other ponies in those years; including the slumber party gift pack.
Princess ponies were UK sold in the country with dragons.
We had loving families – all sets MIB
My Apple Delight was with Mom from China and dad NC it goes vise versa and on…
You can find the NC vs China adult ponies
We had all 3 baby siblings, sold moc, in stores.

Year 8-10- 1989-1992
Baby Sparkle Ponies-
We had the set with the unoriginal names we were really like sparkle ponies- with the Gusty n northsatr in that set
But lucky for me we also had the UK baby Sparkle ponies – more pearly than sparkly with Stella, Nightsong, Mischief n Explorer. Again those had different stamp
You could buy a NC / HONG KONG or CHINA baby. The card grafics also vary.
Pony Bride came in the flat box.
Secret Surprise UK were sold with the box you actually can see the pony itself.
Birthday pony did made the way here
Also the SweetTalking ponies were sold MIB in Israel- talking English.
The G1 line run its cores in Israel until late 1994 maybe even 1995. Those later ponies were mix of very old ponies from the early years n some Europeans ponies or new edition. G1 line was the most successful line sold in Israel. We had a lot of different ponies and got the enjoy the Europe market as the American market.  That’s how the mix stamped pony diversity you can find occurred. Because Israel import from all over the world we always had until today some oddity with toys.
You could buy ponies stamped CHINA /HONG KONG/ NC/ SPAIN / ITALLY and the ponies themselves arrive from all over with many ponies having several different cards because where they were imported from,
Delicacy with Hebrew stickers on the top were sold- mostly ponies from years 5-7
Shirts with MLP were sold
We had an Hebrew Sticker Album and the Tv show itself was shown on TV dubbed and all.
writing case with papers and envelopes in many variations also were sold here- the ones with good smell and regular.
We had a lot of fakies diversity – including Princess rise n Spit (MOC/MIB) , Crumpet pose, Remco fakies and the real Gem- we had TAKARA ponies back than.
Israel is not a country filled with flea markets or second hand toys (its not a big country at all) so searching for ponies – especially G1 is one in a million- believe me  I do check every place and every corner twice.
I don’t have the knowledge but it seems some sets didn’t make it to Israel- like the Mountain boys or Perfume Puff. Its align with the Israelian market- usually in toys we don’t get the all stuff the line has to offer- hence why im not sure about some lines of ponies In Israel… 
G2 was very minimize here to some sets and that’s it.
The G3 line had all the earth ponies- for some very very weird reason- we didn’t get any unicorn/peg until the line was about to die and got stuck with those same 6 ponies…
G4 came here – as the rest of the lines a little bit later than America/Europe. But it did in the beginning had a lot of ponies. Later on Israel got mostly mane 6 ponies with some exceptions.

Unfortunately my Israeli friend is now back in Israel, so less easy for me to poke about stuff. I am not sure about the timeline, but I know from what she told me/remembered from her collection which she still has, she had the Apple Delight Family (Mum, Dad, Sister), SS Shady, and a winger...I think we decided it was a Windy Wing but I forget which one. She also told me a lot of these shows got to Israel a bit later. It sounds to me from what she said that the ponies they had were mostly from the US, so Powder makes sense, probably on US card.

The only Hebrew I can read is 'Shalom' and when I was over there I could make out signs that said Jerusalem while she was driving. Which isn't helpful for ponies.

hey guys. i'm from Israel and been here at the MLPARENA for the past 10-15 years also collecting for over 20 years so.
i wrote about israel ponies before :) maybe i should try a segment for the Nirvana forum?
i searched the country all wide throughout those years and have the knowledge about how pony things were handle here...

fun fact- you could find all kinds of ponies in israelian stores back in the G1 - UK/US/ITALY/SPAIN are the more common, a lot of NC...

im in the middle of my job time so later on ill look for pictures and fact i collected through the years

MLP Nirvana / Re: Want to confirm this is NOT a nirvana. Help please?
« on: October 05, 2018, 09:30:17 AM »
she does looks like the color me ponies... which by themself not strongly regarded as fakies. surly not a nirvana. anywho the pony in question is kinda sought after and hard to finds so I'm personally hope she will find a home at a mlparena collector. she will be taken fast I'm sure. she what I love to call a good fakie.  certainly not a goodwill pony.

MLP Nirvana / Re: Question about princess variants
« on: September 03, 2018, 10:13:30 PM »
my favorite subject in the all world is the princess variants...
and our beloved Pinkkittywinks is a goddess among ponies so....

so she sure can be a variant but just a thought that her previous owner took the tinsels off... I know when I was a kid I took baby explorer tinsels off because she was by my bedside and I was scared from the tinsels as they glow when I slept.... weird boy I was lol...

so it's something also that can explains the nice tail without tinsels

Pony Corral / Re: goldilocks sad case - help?support?
« on: August 23, 2018, 05:04:12 AM »
I don't have her yet, but hopefully it's just a batch issue and other goldis won't have the same problem. :( She's such a pretty pony.
I read the other thread on the subject and I'm afraid people should check their goldies. I love her so much and It seems like one of her version was sold with a different kind of hair- the not aging well kind... I would love to hear from collector who have her...
please notice how your symbols located if the bear turn the other side like the one in the middle or like the other two versions

Pony Corral / Re: Hair rot in my G1 Goldilocks (pic heavy)
« on: August 23, 2018, 03:44:01 AM »
Imagine if crumpets across the globe started loosing hair D: I wonder if the heat affected hair quality on some level? With Human hair it damages and with nylon hair like the ponies high heat burns... I wonder if applying slight heat somehow damages them in a way that makes them prone to irreverable frizz and possible breakage. I have two ponies with a ball of frizz I cant fix at the end of their tail. And rehair is an option you are right!

So far, thankfully, cases of G1 with hair breakage / 'rot' seem to be near non-existent.  I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility completely, but so far your poor darling seems to be an outlier.   The temporary heat used to set curves and curls is probably not the root cause, as so many ponies were treated thusly and don't seem any worse for it.  It's more likely that curly hair turns up more damaged because it's hard to brush without making a mess, and tangles leads to even more brushing, pulling, and damage to the individual strands of hair. 


I didn't know someone had brought up this topic and made a new topic about it just recently. I'm sorry to say but it seems like a factory problem so people should check their goldies.... I love her and have3 one is a variant/different batch so she have totally different hair but the regular two suffer from hair falling from aging...im heartbroken about it.

so...as you can see the middle one is a variant/different batch...she have different kind of hair and she's in great shape.
I love goldi. I love that she have variants symbols so as a collector I can have different variants of her.
sadly sadly crying my heart out my other two goldies on the sides have lost their... curls. literally her curls just fell off. I was in shock. it's like the hair gotten old and cranky and just broke and fell...

is this happen to you to with her?
which goldy do you have (you can tell by the side the symbol turn)

please share your situation with me... I'm so sad about it. I love her so much and It was horrible seeing her losing her beautiful curls...
