International "Exclusives"?

[GloriaFan]

Hi 

Excuse my newbieness but - how many ponies were "exclusives" to foreign countries during MLP's run? Not like ponies in different poses/colors/etc. but completely different ponies.

Thanks in advance for any info!

I guess that depends on what generation you're looking for.   There's a lot of great websites that show you which ones and where.   Unfortunately with all my moving I lost all my ponies tabs or else I'd hook you up.

G1, mostly - I know about the foreign exclusives for G2/G3 and most of the foreign G4 stuff comes out here eventually

you may want to ask this question in the corral as well nirvana ponies are little different to exclusive ponies, though some exclusive ponies made it under the nirvana umbrella when the term "nirvana" was coined ~ these being the german and dutch ponies as well as the scandinavian ponies and alternate birthflower ponies.
 
try this website it list ponies by country as well as showing UK, german and netherlands exlusive ponies

have you looked at the nirvana gallery? that shows almost all known nirvana ponies

UK ~ these are not classed as nirvana, but the UK got runs such as the mountain boys that were not released anywhere else. there are ponies such as the jewellery babies, the family ponies but the got release in other parts of europe too. There are mail order ponies that were part of the UK Pony Club
 
German ~ these are a grey area nirvana wise, but nightlight and raindrop are totally "new" ponies. germany did get some unqiue baby ponies, but some got released elsewhere in europe too.
 
Netherlands ~ these again are a grey area and are not "new" ponies so to speak as they are variants of other ponies, just in different colours
 
Europe as a whole ~ europe did get a whole bunch of ponies that the US didn't get, but it worked the other way too, the US got ponies that europe never got to see

Gosh...ready for the long list - we ll go by year order for easiness and no doubt I ll miss someone or make a little mistake!


I am also not sure how strict you are being with "not ponies in different colours" as even the Dutch ponies which seem pretty "unique" are in fact just reusing the same symbols and the same poses in some cases of earlier released "Euro" exclusives - i.e. Dutch Butterfly and Mummy Meadowsweet...etc. So below I have listed ponies/sets which only came with that symbol and that pose and were only available outside the US

Its surprisingly difficult when you start to think "oh thats unique" and then go...huh no its not really....its only the later years where whole sets are obvious...

Thanks for the info, hathorcat! I also found this page (http://www.ponylandpress.com/europe/) which has photos of (most of) the UK exclusive releases.

ponylandpress is a great website! Hopefully that will help you track them all down if you are searching for them.
