Nirvana Sea Ponies?
« on: September 01, 2014, 10:26:32 AM »
I'm curious to know how to identify a Nirvana baby Sea Pony, and find out if I possibly have one.  I'm not too clued up on them.

One of my floats is stamped  '1984 HASBRO IND INC, MADE IN HONG KONG' and another, of the exact same float only has '1984 HASBRO INC'  any particular reason for this?

There aren't technically any baby Nirvana sea ponies - even the babies released in Mexico were regular releases simply reboxed into Mexican branded packaging. The difference in the floats is just a difference in mould and manufacture time :) The babies from the first set were released on 2 sides of the pond, each with a different moulded float.

I believe you can get a combination of Hong Kong and no country stamps on regular release baby sea ponies, so in this case it does not indicate that they are nirvana.

The only nirvana sea ponies are the Italian sea ponies. Boxed babies have been found in Mexico with no country stamps and made in Mexico written on the box, however hasbro Mexico did import them for sale. The babies are identical in every way to the regular release.

I would appreciate someone with more seapony knowledge to add to this post :heart:

Most baby Sea Ponies are technically (although not in reality) no country as they dont have a country of manufacture stamped on them. :)

There are however some euro variants to the pretty and pearly set of baby sea ponies.
Tiny bubbles and sea star were added to the set instead of sea shimmer and surf rider. And the looking up pose was replaced with the head forward pose. This applied to sunshower, ripple and water lily!

I know what you mean. I only know this info as the pretty and pearly baby sea ponies are my favorite sea pony set! Ask me to name or properly identify a water color sea pony or necklace symbol baby sea pony, I dare you. They are all "wave dancers or sea ribbon shimmer or something."

I think its the floats which cause the confusion because there are some of those with a country of manufacture and some without.
