Can't help you with the sea pony book... But, G1 ponies were released in israel. I was there about a year 1/2 ago and found wig wam at a flea market . Also my friends , friend was born there and had euro version baby Stella and gave it to me. They mAy have been imported? But also in the stores I saw g3.5 abs g4 ponies.

Hmm. I seem to remember a few years ago we had a member from Israel do a huge post talking about their collecting experience there.

I think they mostly received the the European releases and maybe a handful of the UK ones as well?

There has only ever been a handful of merch found in Hebrew - mainly books, the other ones I can think of which turned up were The Stolen Shadow and The Man in the Moon. They are pretty hard to find though; I only ever remember seeing a couple of versions of each over all the years.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the merch remained in English, actually. I was in Israel several years ago and the country is trilingual (Hebrew, Arabic, and English). Most signs and advertisements would have all three languages on them. The majority of people know a bit of English due to it being taught in school and many films and TV programs not being translated.

I suspect it was also much cheaper on Hasbro to not translate for a very small distribution area.

If we can find scans of the books or backcards I'd love to see them, though! I'm really curious how they would be formatted as both Hebrew and Arabic are written right-to-left as opposed to left-to-right, like English.

I went to see if the pictures of the others that have been found were on the Arena archive but unfortunately the threads are there but no pictures. They have turned up in such tiny numbers - literally I only remember 2 Stolen Shadows and one of the others - that I am not sure there are any online pictures to refer to unless someone fortunate to own one stops by.
