Does anyone have a MOC Euro/UK Sweet Kisses Pony to hand?

I guess I'm just mad and hallucinating ribbons then. I have no idea who the ribbons belong to, though, or why they should coincidentally end up on BOTH of my Sweet Kisses Ponies. Oh well. Another one of those weird things I guess..

Thanks all for your contributions. I'll leave ribbons OFF the Sweet Kisses pages, just to be safe.

They do look adorable with their ribbons! It kind of makes sense after all we did get a lot of ponies with ribbons that the US never got with ribbons.

There were 2 different releases of them - with slight variation in their accompanying lipsticks. I only ever had the more commonly coloured lipstick versions on card and they certainly did not have ribbons with them. However its certainly possible the later releases which had variation in the bottle colour perhaps had ribbons with them...I have never seen one in person to say for certain unfortunately.

Ah. Hrm. That makes it interesting. The thing is that, because ours came from that store in London after MLP had ended, I have no clue whether they came from the original release of the pony or might've been a different batch. You have a lot more knowledge of this number of issue thing than I have in this case, because my impression of the end of the line was that Hasbro just kept selling everything for as long as they had stock to sell...I didn't actually believe there was a sticker release of the 7 Characters until I saw a German one MOC about 5 years ago!

So it might be possible that an issue had ribbons - or it might just be my bad memory. Unfortunately the pony MOC at this stage is hard enough to find without dividing into variations and stuff, so I might really never know for sure. It's been a really interesting discussion, though...and with Hasbro being weird at the end, it's maybe not totally impossible.

I actually can't find the lipstick for  two of the ponies at the moment, so I can't tell you what colours they came with. One of them had yellow base and red top, I think that's Kiss n Make Up? Forget now. I have that one but the other two are somewhere in my cupboard.

I also use the long handled combs for hair on all my ponies, so they aren't bagged and tagged, helpfully. I did read about a comb variation on the pony my sister had but she's not the most organised accessory person ever. It took me seven years to locate Tracks' hat, after she managed to lose it, so I don't hold out great hopes...

I think it was about 96 when we got that set in any case. 95 or 96. So *shrug*. The card looks the same as the one shown in the photos here...but then I guess that didn't change? Hasbro helpfully didn't write on the cards at this point what was included. All I know is Hasbro sold all their excess stock from their warehouse to a number of stores, of which Jennings was one, and they had stuff from 1984 through to 1994.

No you are right the cards stayed the same (much as with the 7 Characters comb v sticker versions) - its just the shades of the lipstick bases and tops changed.

I will need to dig out the pictures and old references but I don't believe the sticker version of the 7 Characters came with a ribbon; it was only the comb version which had one. Please note I could be wrong on that one, I ll need to check or perhaps someone can confirm one way or the other.
