Is my MOC a nirvana?

[teacher316]

I got a MIB baby blossom for Christmas that says made in Hong Kong for Belgium. All the writing on the box is french I assume. Is this classsified as a nirvana?
I thought I'd come and check with the experts as I don't know much about nirvanas.

I don't *think* so...as far as i know (and i'm new to Nirvanas as well) they only encompass ponies who were exclusive to the area in which they were relesed, such as the Sweetie Babies (Liquorice, Candy and Lollipop) or baby Honeycomb. Since Baby Blossom was released pretty much everywhere, I don't thing she counts as a Nirvana...that being said, I'm thoroughly jelly of your MOC baby since she's my fav of. The early release babies!

She is not a Nirvana, but a very nice and unique MOC pony for one to have in their collection.
Congrats

To add confusion, technically the Sweetie Babies are not really Nirvana either. Its a bit of a grey definition and hard to justify why some are and some aren't. But I always think of it as if the pony was specifically for one country or two [such as the Regenbogen set or the Dutchies, etc] then they fall into Nirvana, if they had more of a "Euro wide" release then they are regular releases. Does that make sense?

Congrats on a lovely pony for your collection, teacher!

Thanks guys! She is lovely and my first MIB baby so I'm okay with her not being a nirvana. Is Bon Bon considered nirvana hathorcat? I have the UK and dutch version and they are my favorites!

[shelti]

Dutch Ponies are considered Nirvana
UK Bon Bon No, confusing isn't it?

Learn something new about something new every day! I thought the Sweeties were Nirvanas...I knew the dutch ones were! Huh. Well...I guess the Nestie babies would be Nirvanas then?

Yup Even though we know they were intended for a wider release due to packaging, they never got it so they come under the "one specific country/market rule". [which is a flexible rule to say the least].
