PC for MIB Breast cancer Awareness pony (Ribbons and Hearts Pony)

[Tulips]

I was contemplating buying one loose last year but I couldn't justify spending so much on a single pony, as much as I want her lol The open mouth was $3-400ish and closed mouth was $4-500ish so I would have thought the MIB price would be much higher!

Wait, really?!  I have a loose closed mouth version and always thought she was worth the $70ish I paid for her back in the day...

Those prices might be skewed. I didn't pay that, it was just what the collector was asking for as it would have been a reluctant sale (I think it was around the $350 mark but I can't remember the exact circumstances).

If anyone is selling for less hit me up, I would definitely still buy for a more reasonable price! I thought I should just give up on ever owning her but maybe the prices I'm imagining are all way off?

So what is the story with her anyway?  Was she originally going to be released?  Where did these girls (and that bag of Honeycomb's!) come from?

I'd like to know her story too. Was she going to be released and then she was cancelled like those G1 prototypes in the Sears Wishbooks?  I really like the open mouth one but would be happy to have either one.

This is my MIB Ribbons & Hearts (this is the one Sebby saw this week ).  I bought her from someone on the Arena a couple of years ago.  She has the pink ribbon symbol in her eye and the packaging has the ribbon embossed on the front.  I seem to recall some connection with Avon - can't remember if I read that on the packaging but I don't have her to hand right now to check as she is in the museum exhibition.

I still want the open mouth version as she is pretty much the last G3 I need!

She's my ultimate grail! My friend used to have it for sale online, unfortunately I do not know her at that point of time and it's too late now.

If anyone plans on selling her in the future.. you know who to look for

I remember that it was speculated that she was going to be released during the annual National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in october 2010. Because she popped up on ebay maybe half a year before that in China. But october passed by and no pony release was in sight, she just got discontinued.
I remember that some collectors was quite upset that she was sold here on the arena and on ebay before she was released, because it was speculated that some of the future profit from the sales in stores was going to be donated to this good cause. And that this pre-release sale skipped out on that. I know that some collectors even waited to buy her because of that. So it was really unfortunate that she never got released.

...I will probably never sell mine as I think she is so cute and special and as I collect pre-production G1 ponies and stuff she fits quite good in my collection! I would like to have the open mouth one to on display beside her....

I would agree with the $400 or higher mark. Maybe closer to $500.   

I personally would trade my two loose versions (open and closed-mouth)  for one MIB version if anyone is interested   Or even trade some of my pre-production G3s for it.   

I'm still smarting over missing out on the last Arena auction.  It sold before I saw it  *sigh*

I have a Ribbon&Hearts (with closed mouth). I like her a lot, I think I got her directly from China back then for maybe 20 bucks - but she's lose. She looks lovely MIB.

...I had no idea quite how rare she really is.

I've updated the My Little Wiki page on her with the information mentioned in this thread. The poor thing looked like it hadn't been edited in years.

Such a pretty pony 

I have never seen her for sale

[plushroo]

I'm also on the list of those wanting her, but I prefer loose over MIB since she'll be displayed and cost wise will be cheaper for me. Good luck with your sale

I have an open and closed mouth but both loose I know of a collctor in Germany and one in the US who each have one MIB. And I can think of someone in the UK who did have one...but not sure if now sold. I grabbed mine off the website when they popped up.

As Honeycomb's picture shows, they are super hard to find but there are quite a few of them out there.

I agree they will be some of, if not the, most expensive G4s when sold. $200 when loose so probably pushing $350-400 when MIB. But it really depends on having the right collector interested as not everyone is willing to drop that on a G3.
