1980's International My Little Ponies
(A-J)
In the 1980's, My Little Ponies were being sold worldwide. In the 90's, while American My Little Pony was on hiatus, they were
still being produced in other countries. They were not as popular in some
countries, but widely produced in many areas. Foreign names for My Little
Pony are as follows: German "Mein Kleines Pony", Dutch "Mijn Kleine
Pony", Spanish "Mi Pequeno Pony", French "Mon Petit
Poney". Sales of My Little Pony in mainstream Europe did not
begin until several years after the U. S. started.

of Birthday Ponies.
Birthday Ponies were only sold in Scandinavia. They are oftened referred to as alternate Birthflower ponies. Being that they are identical to the Mail Order Birthflower ponies in pose and symbol. However these versions come in beautiful, various colors.
Thanks to Heidi for use of this photograph. Thanks to Liz for the name translation.
Miscellaneous ponies in the U. K. and Europe were sold in bags. Most were U. S. mail orders or oddities (like ponies sold with the Party Pack and Slumber Party Pack). That doesn't mean every Mail Order and those miscellaneous sets were all offered for sale in the U. K.
The most probably cause is that these ponies were left overs from the U. S., so they were sent out to other manufacturing companies in Europe. If anyone knows for sure about their origins, please let me know.
