Nirvana Favorite variants?

Use this prefix for threads about MLP items manufactured outside of the USA, exceptionally rare items, variants, and prototypes.
The green Bowtie on the sitting pose is so pretty and has such unique colors. I like her just as much as regular Bowtie.
 
South African Bubbles, Anemos (Greek Windy), Mexican Prince ponies, especially Sapphire/Misty, Princess Woosie, UK Princess Primrose with the red tail (like the cartoon), Sparkle Napper with a gold body (instead of yellow-this variant can have either green OR purple hair AFAIK), dark bodied/white haired Star Hopper, Jenny, and G4 Pinkie Pie with the "narrow" head (eyes closer together).
Probably the red hearts version of Dazzleglow, generally the more opaque plastic of the Glow 'n Show's, because I think the clearer plastic used less star confetti (at least in my herd). There is also a G3 pony that is blue with flourescent red hair, except for the variant with a mismatched dark pink tail, one row of hair Clever Clover, blue-eyed majesty because they are actually periwinkle blue.
of course I don't have most of these, just a few commons and the Dazzleglows.
 
I am appreciating the Italian Sparkler.
Instead of an indistinct dove grey of the standard she's very clearly pale blue.
Her eyes are a startling indigo instead of dark purple.
Her base hair is definitely lavender, not that orchid colour that sits between pink and violet. And she has a wider day-glo red streak.
Her cutie mark matches her eyes, but has no sparkles: classy blue.
Same gentle pose.
 
I don't have many variants, only some Italians and a Spanish NC pony, and all of them have the same colour scheme as the non-variant ponies. But there is a pony whom I don't have, only seen in a Retro Geek Crafts video recently, and immediately became my favourite: Argentinian Masquerade! I love her colours better than the original version. Plus she has my favourite pegasus pose. I think the hot pink body, and the pink, yellow and blue hair makes her so happy and looks like she's ready to party.
I think she reminds me of some childhood memory... a Hungarian children's magazine from my childhood had a page of carnival activities (maybe a board game or something similar) and the colour scheme and masks were similar.
 
I know the box says "Starshine" in English (where is that from, btw?)....but with hair like that I just keep thinking "Blaine." If there was a wig (for humans) like that, it would be "The Blaine," and it would come with a surfboard. I don't think that's Baby Lucky Leaf's color, it's like warm with the brilliance of a cool tone, I'm hypnotized!:orangeheart: :yellowheart:o_O:surprisepony:o_O:yellowheart::orangeheart:

EDIT: "Mi Pequeno Pony" guess it's Spanish or Portreguese?

She's Venezuelan. And yeah, her hair looks more like blonde doll hair than yellow pony hair. It's so beautiful! :smile:
 
italian blue lickety split, white tootsie, french windy (w/ dark purple hair), jenny, argie half note, and any applejack variant are some of my favorites :ponylove:
 
Argentinian fliers are so beautiful. I also love UK Mountain boys. A lot of the Dutch ponies are lovely too....
 
I think it’s possibly a fakie rather than a variant but since I can’t find any information on it I’ll never know - but my dark blue and purple G2 castle is a major highlight in my collection. So gothic!
 
@Tak Does E have any of the Heart Throb variants? You said Heart Throb was E's fav, right?

Yes, heart throb is her favorite. She has an original, a ss, one retro (pretty sure the lighter one), and several custom alternates, no variations yet.
 
I guess I am bias. I got my first nirvana- Italian Firefly. I love her! Even with the Italian typical choppy hair. Its in my favorite pose which is a boost.
I also got an Italian Seashell who is really adorable with the freckles
Eeee!! I have an italian Firefly too! :ponylove: Mine is the curly haired version. Have you noticed any differences in vinyl? My italian firefly has completely different plastic I wondered if yours was to?

Most of the the nirvana ponies have a bit of a different feel to their plastic, in my personal opinion. It seems like each country had their own blend of plastic.
