Seeing the 'apostrophe' eyes on those far-right Brandies made me remember why I had German Brandy down as a seperate release - Cat's post here

 I love that argie Brandy.

Just got done organizing my Brandy dog pictures!   I have several variations (although I'm missing the Greek one for sure).   There's also a Brazil Stable, but not sure if Brandy is any different than the European release. 

ITALY (mine has both ears colored!)

MEXICO:

ARGENTINA (he also has more of a reddish brown tone to his body than the other dogs):

GERMANY / UK / EURO:
OK, I'm really confused when it comes to German and UK/Euro dogs.   I went through current and completed UK and German auctions of mostly complete show stables and here's the information I've collected so far (I plan to keep on keeping tabs on such auctions to see if there's a tighter pattern to these releases).

UK White Stable -
I found auctions with Brandy dogs with tall "tab" eyes and medium "tab" eyes like these:

I found a UK white stable with the unpainted tan Brandy, with eyes drawn on with marker, like this one.  I see a lot of these coming from the UK:

...  with a dog very similar to the tan US releases, like this:

... blobby round eyes. Paint looks almost hand-painted and sloppy, like these:

.... and lastly, I found an auction with a white UK stable with box, all in English, but at the bottom it says "Made in W. Germany".  This one had one of those dogs with the "apostrophe" shaped eyes.

Now, I also found a German white "Pony Haus" also with a dog with "apostrophe" eyes.   So maybe it's primarily released in Germany, but the factories there also make English ones for distribution in the UK ?

I found two German white Pony Haus auctions and also two German pink Pony Haus stables with dogs that looked like these:

The only UK pink stable auction I found had a dog similar to the US stable:

I have a mystery one as well. It's got blobby paint like the two above, but tiny eyes and pointy feet!  I'm not sure where he came from.

"The Pack", as of January 2014.  I'd be very interested in adding more variations, by the way  ;)

Ya, he is unique!   I kind of think it might be a factory flaw, like the plastic didn't make it all the way into the mold.  I'll have to keep my eyes open  and see if there are any others out there like him :)

He certainly is a little prone to a lot of issues! The later releases for him in the UK and Europe get pretty wild in condition and variety. Its almost hard to pin down 2 which actually look the same in colour and paint and finish.
