Takara Braided-haired pony... Have any been found?

[SubmarineHallucination]

I was looking around My Little Wiki. I was supposed to be researching the G1s I recently bought, but I got sidetracked and started looking at Takara stuff. I'm not sure how up to date the page is on Takara but it looks like 3 of the 4 "Ochame Fashion" ponies have been found. I noticed the braided one (blue body, blue hair) wasn't listed as found. Have any been found recently? The whole Takara pony thing fascinates me. I really want to know!

There are some Takara ponies in the nirvana gallery

I don't think I have ever seen the blue hair or the green hair ponies though.

I have been searching for over six years for the braided and the pig tail takaras from the ochame line. I have contacts in Japan that look for me and we have never spotted them. We have seen the yellow takara twice and curly haired ochame takara around 5 times.

However, I know of one braided hair takara that was found in finland in a fleemarket many years ago. I am lucky to have her in my collection. The pig tail takara has never been found.

I had no idea you own Ami-Ami, would love to see photos
I also thought there was only 1 Sara Sara as well.
Its wonderful more are being found

The other sara sara just recently popped up through one of my connections.

Are takara ponies actually MLPs?

I know this has been mentioned in the past but yes they are! Hasbro licensed My Little Pony to Takara around 1985 and they made the Takara My Little Pony Line. It apparently didn't do very well so they are much harder to find now.
