Question regarding German Flutterbye and set

[rtattles]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if you guys know anything. I saw a picture on ebay today by Shelti

I always thought German Flutterbye came with the Nightlight set, but it seems like she's released prior to that with other ponies? Does that mean that the 2nd set of Rainbow Ponies were released in Germany and yet weren't Italian ponies?

This is a bit of an odd set It had Trickles, Confetti, Pinwheel, Tickle and Flutterbye however it had no Starflower; instead Starflower was replaced with Moonstone   In some ways its not unexpected the second release of the US rainbows had 10 ponies - 6 new and 4 repeat releases as well.

It had a reasonably wide Euro release; certainly into Scandinavia as well so they are not technically a German release.

Oh thanks Hath! That's very interesting. May I ask if the ponies in this set are all made in HK and have painted symbols (not glitter, not metallic)?

I get the impression that only No Country and Spanish Tickle have painted symbols, and I have been chasing for a really nice one. It'll be another Tickle for me to hunt down if she is HK with matte symbols.

In fact I'd love to buy the whole set if they all have matte symbols. It's kind of an obsession of mine.

Yes all of them are HK. Their symbols are not matt however but neither are they properly glitter. They are painted and then have a very small amount of glitter on the top of them enough that the symbols sparkle. Kind of like the later mail order rainbows with their lower glitter content.

OMG that's awesome. I'll be on the lookout for these Rainbow Ponies from now on. Thanks soooo much for the info!!!! Something new I can look forward to collecting. lol

Remember there is the square symbol version and the round version (pictured)
I had them for sale here in Classifieds for a couple of months with no takers so they moved to ebay.
Both are Sold now, with Square Symbol MOC headed to the Netherlands and Round Symbol MOC awaiting payment.
The accessories were both different and so were the cards.

That's so cool Shelti! I'm actually looking for Tickle in the set if she exists as a normal pony with painted symbols.

Thank you Shelti

I doubt you will find one as a German Release.
You will find her in Spain and Italy but not a Hong Kong Pony.

Thank you Shelti

You knew I would pop in at some Point
