Sprinkles on card without the Waterfall (+ baby ponies on cards)

[Raindrop]

My sister got her Baby Blossom on a card in  Germany when we were kids.  My Princess Tiffany also came on a card without the bushwollie she was released with in the US.

No - none of them came with stickers - the babies only had a bottle each that was all...

Strange, these must be the only ones out of the lot that didn't come with a comb or brush!

The whole release is a little half hearted - no backcard art, hardly any accessories - it does feel like "we have hundreds of these little baby ponies...what the heck shall we do with them" kind of moment.

When I saw them in stores I did think the release seemed a bit rushed. Like they wanted to get the babies out on the market as soon as possible, so they put together a quick card and slapped the babies onto it..

These releases are so odd - I've never seen them here (though granted I was born a little too late for them I think). They do seem like a rushed release to make some quick cash from existing ponies without having to go through the trouble of making accesoiries and such.

I have three of the baby ponies on card...

That's an old pic, but you get the idea for the glitter symbols, there are actually two versions of the card - Benelux and German. My own childhood ones came on the Benelux cards when we were on holiday. These ones have nothing on the back.

There is actually a third card actually, for the matte symbolled ones released in Germany the year after. This does have stuff on the back (this is a picture of just the backcard, no pony on the front!)

Someone mentioned Baby Tiddleywinks - there was definitely a Spanish version of her that was sold on card.

I think the babies may have got a wider release than ponies on card like Sprinkles. I'd be interested to know what other ones were sold like that actually!

I have seen a Tiddlywinks on a card in the same manner as Sprinkles - not the Spanish carded version [i.e. the same one that a Baby LD and Baby BT appear on] it was in English...the others I have seen in the plastic bags - Butterscotch, Blossom, Minty, CC and 4 of the Birthflower ponies as well as Tux

I wondered if anyone had any more of these pics...or information of how many ponies were sold like this in Uerope.  Also--were they ever sold like this in the US?

No they were all a Euro thing - the line in the US was finished by the time a lot of the "bagged" ponies turned up - we got a lot of imaginative creations over here - the Princess and Happy Tails variants which were very random and even boxed very randomly. The whole thing was end of line, excess stock clearance style - too many ponies and the closing out of a line.

I have a pair of babies on the same card - baby surprise and cotton candy, and they come with a sticker that says baby ponies on it hehe, it was produced in south Africa because it's made by prima toys. X

[SheRa-dude]

I agree, I have seen her on card, too, coming with her duck Soup

Thats her picture, I saved from Ebay a few years ago!
