Ponies From Across The Channel Although commonly mislabelled UK ponies, there are a number of ponies sold only across the Channel in Germany, Austria and even France. These are by far the hardest ponies for American and British collectors to come by, being that there are still few European pony collectors on line at present. Unless otherwise mentioned, these pictures are of ponies in my own collection and are therefore not to be reproduced without permission.
Also see Page 10 for Italian made ponies which were also sold abroad.

Rainbow Ponies from Germany and Austria.

Skydancer and Himmelstanzer
On the left is the internationally sold version, and on the right the German sold version.
Himmelstanzer's symbol is painted, not glittery, and her hair is green/blue/pink and orange, not the traditional colours. She is *obviously* an earthling and a darker colour from the usual version. She is Made In Hong Kong.

Hummelchen and Flutterbye
On the right this time is the American sold (unsure whether she came out in the UK in this form) Flutterbye and on the left is the German sold Hummelchen. The only real difference is that Hummelchen's symbol is painted, slightly smaller and a fuschia-ish colour.
Please note that the Hummelchen in the picture has had a hair cut.She is Made In Hong Kong.

Regentropfen
Regentropfen (Raindrop) has no US or UK counterpart. She is fuschia pink with green, blue, pink and orange hair - exactly the same as Himmelstanzer's hair. Her symbol is a clous with white rain and a gold sun - oddly the sun is printed underneath the cloud, not on top as in Sunlight or Sunburst's symbols.She is Made In Hong Kong.

Nachtlicht
Nachtlicht (Nightlight) also doesn't seem to have a US or UK counterpart. She is a dark blue colour, with green, blue, neon yellow and orange hair, and a moon and two stars symbol. Again, like the others this symbol is painted.She is Made In Hong Kong.

European Variations of the First Baby Set

Baby Firefly.
This version had wildly curly hair, is a slightly paler pink and has a painted lightning bolt symbol.
She is Made In Hong Kong

Baby Glory
Like with Baby Firefly above, her symbol is painted, not glittery, but this is the only difference I can find between her and the US version.
She is Made In Hong Kong

Baby Surprise
(Many thanks to Colette for these pictures)
As with the two above, Baby Surprise is
made in Hong Kong. She also lacks the "Pat Pend" on her front left hoof that the Baby Surprise w/glitter symbols has, and her symbol is painted on, not metallic, in exactly the same style as Baby Glory and Baby Firefly. I believe there is also a baby Moondancer in this design, so if anyone has a picture I would be most grateful if you could send it my way :) Like the other two this one came from Germany.

Baby Honeycomb
<please note Baby Honeycomb has regular yellow hair rather than the neon yellow her mother pony has. Also, her bees are painted, not glittery.>

Mystery Pony

Does anybody know anything about this pony? I found the picture on Ebay some years back and because of a drive failure was not previously able to upload her onto my page. Any information regarding her would be a great help!
As can be seen from the picture she is a goldish colour with red, lime green and blue hair and a symbol like Whizzer's. She stands in Firefly's pose and is NOT a twinkle eye. I do not know her place of manufacture.
