I'd say at least $200. I'd be interested in buying her if you're selling! :-)

 OMG...you know, I just realized Eva was about the same age as my own daughter now. I think she was about 8 or 9 at the time ;_;  I'm SO old.


   DV was my go to source for info at the time! I've got the entire website printed out and in a binder still to this day. The original version of it. Every. Single. Page.  ^_^   So many ink cartridges died that day.  I'd lurk, and listen to what other collectors had to say (Same as I do now) but DV was really THE place for pictures of all these ponies I didn't know existed. DV was the first place I even found out that there were ponies outside of US versions. And you UK collectors were like Gods to us early day Pony people! So much stuff we didn't have access to.

  Ah, nostalgia. Ponies are ready nostalgic, and then here we go reminiscing about the early days of the online pony world too! Someday, when we're instantly connecting to other collector's minds and seeing their ponies through their eyes, and teleporting our trades to each either, us old folks will probably be nostalgic about the quaint days when we still relayed information and stories through writing to each other on the internet. ^_~

I've been around since the early days too. (though I don't post often at all)   I started about '96 or so at the old TP.  Back then, there were SO many mysteries with anything associated with other countries and anything that popped up outside of Italians was considered very rare and/or possibly fake.   I actually picked up an entire set of MOC Dutch ponies at that time because no one else was buying them because we weren't even sure if they were real. $30 each for my MOC Dutch ponies :-) Another example of "we didn't know they were real"   came when I accidentally got traded a Funskool Indian Butterscotch. I just wanted a plain CF Butterscotch because mine was in terrible shape, and when I made my trade, this weird squishy, not-quite-right Butterscotch came in the mail.  I didn't know what to do with her! It wasn't what I wanted, and I wasn't convinced she was an actual MLP. Almost considered just donating her, because I thought she was a very close to real fakie! Glad I didn't. Still my only Indian.
 
   On the other hand, things that are considered very common now -like German baby Cherries Jubilee and Hopscotch were valued like gold then! We knew they were there and were real, but hardly anyone had them. I paid > $150 each for my German babies in the late 90's. Shortly after that, when more collectors from other countries came online, I could have had them for like $30 max.  We didn't know it then, though.

   Also, Taffeta- I can't believe someone mentioned Lieneke!  I talked with her for YEARS from meeting on the TP, and got most my MOC g2s from her. Wonderful person. Her daughter was Eva. I'm not sure why we lost touch, actually. We'd send each other stuff all the time, and she'd tell me anytime something new came out in the Netherlands and ask if I wanted her to pick me one up. I think about them now and then, and hope they're doing well ^_^

I don't usually post, but I saw this pony mentioned on EQD, and everyone in this thread is asking if she'll show up in the show, so I thought I'd pass along what was posted over there. Someone over there asked a writer on the show about this girl, and they said that this pony -would- show up in the show, but that they were surprised that Hasbro had picked this pony to make into a toy. It made it sound like she might be a background character somewhere, or a not very important pony, but that she will show up. ^_^
