Thats really interesting info! Thank you for sharing. I wonder if the lack of a trading Hasbro subsidiary in Ireland allowed a wider retailer choice from whichever Hasbros they wished? That would be really interesting.

oh so many thank yous for sharing those pics :-)

I just love they are childhood ponies :-) and so cool on theories of how the oddities (well what we call those nirvana today) were sold back in the day

I can understand that train of thought... it's why ponies like Rapunzel don't appeal to me as well, among others. But they are rare, which can make a difference. You do often find that ponies that are both rare and beautiful command a higher price than those of similar rarity who are less desirable.

I have to say I really like monotoned ponies and really don't like the bright hair of the rainbow ponies so these 2 and tickles are a million times better than the normal releases Pity it is that they are rare

Many many thanks for sharing such pics

I ll agree on Tickle - I have never quite understood the aesthetic on that colour combo

Can I ask another question? Were both of these also purchased in Ireland?

[tootie_tails]

Wow this pony is so rare to see even one of, let alone two.
I love that they have a provenance too! It should add to the value I think.

Yes they are my childhood ponies, one mine and one my sister's. My daughter was also playing with them until I learned how valuable they are! We always took care of our toys.

They were bought new in a toy shop in Dublin called Pride and Joy. I don't remember what language was on the cards because it was about 25 years ago. It seems likely that it was English but I can't be sure. They were definitely bought new on the cards though. We were so excited because we'd never had unicorn ponies before. But in truth they spent most of the last 25 years in storage even when they were still pretty new. We got bored of our ponies pretty quickly and tended to dump them (and our Barbies) in the toy box. Just as well really
