I find this very silly!
« on: April 08, 2012, 05:04:15 PM »
Why are some Nirvanas so different from their US counterpart? For example,
Why does argie Twilight look like this:

when she looks like this in the US:visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 (pics from wiki)
She sure looks different!

Also, this is my first post in Nirvana!

When Hasbro licensed other toy companies outside of the US & Europe to produce toys under the My Little Pony name, those toy companies often took creative liberty with the ponies they produced. They used the same symbol stencils & the same themes (Rainbow Ponies, Twice As Fancy Ponies, ect.), but often changed poses, colors, & names.


Edit to add, I think the pink Twilight you have pictured is actually the French version. The US Twilight has glittery symbols.

I like that they are different, adds a little spice to the army if you have one :)

also, I do believe some countries only got certain molds... so that made it harder to make them look alike... in this case though, I believe argentina had the same mold :)

Me too, me too! Argies are one of my favorites, because they are so different! ;)

Everyone has their own opinion.. But it's good for people who live one pony and they want an army of it. Example: I love Bowtie and there are heaps of different Bowties from different countries that look heaps different. It makes an army look more interesting. ;)

I love the differences in nirvanas! I collect Posey (which sadly isn't too diverse :() but when I saw what Venezuela had done with Posey variants I was overjoyed! 4 (so far) new, totally differently coloured ponies for me to chase after. :silly:
It's great seeing so many different colour schemes. Like Princess Spakles said, ponies like Bowtie. SOO many gorgeous variants. ^_^

Have you seen her? :awake:

I think it's brilliant! I love the variety G1 offers  in comparison to the later gens. Though I have to admit it seems like an odd move on Hasbro's part!
