International My Little Ponies
Accessories
Several very special sets were sold only internationally that are favorites of collectors. If your looking for Tutti Fruitti, Sweet Clover, or Rosette, you can find them in the My Little Pony International sections.
Bed & Crib Set
The
Bed & Crib Set is meant to be
used with the Surprise Twins Pony and her
babies as if they were in a maternity ward. The bed is on wheels and looks like
a hospital bed with a yellow frame and a clipboard on the foot. It has a blanket
that's pink with blue hearts. There's also a blue shelf that swings out from the
headboard and has room for two cards (one is yellow-pink with a picture of a
flower bouquet and the other is blue-pink with a picture of a stork carrying a
baby pony) and flowers (two red tulips) for the new mother. The crib is also
yellow and rocks from side to side. It has a bottle holder on the side and a
pink teddy bear design. It also comes with a pink blanket with blue hearts, and
two diapers (that are too big for the newborns. It was sold in the
U. K. and Europe in the 1990's.
Dream Castle (Italian)
Many accessories are the same as the U. S. Dream Castle.
The Italian version of the Dream Castle was basically the same as the US version (even the accessories were the same); however, there was one major difference. The pony that came with the Dream Castle.
The Italian version of Majesty that came with
the Dream Castle is a hybrid of Majesty and Twilight. She is a unicorn in
Majesty's regular pose, with a white body, blue hair with a white streak and
blue eyes. However, she sports Twilights star cluster symbol, with blue
painted on stars. This version of Majesty/Twilight is harder to find and
more rare than many other Italians. One notable difference is that she has
Italy imprinted on her hoof.

photographs of all accessories.
Kisscurl (earth pony) is
yellow with pink hair and her
symbol is pink braids with green ribbon (or green
braids with a pink ribbon) tied
around them. Several versions of her have been made; there are no terribly
noticeable differences, the greatest being a change in symbol color. To
see pics of Kiss Curl, click

The Grooming Parlour is the same as the Brush
Me Beautiful Boutique, Year 6. The parlor is purple with aqua accents
and comes with a little white kitty called Snowball in the U. K. It came
with a variety of items. It was first issued in 1987.
Kitchen (and Pasteleria)
The Kitchen holds the
same shape as the U. S. Pretty Parlor. There were two versions of the
kitchen released. Bottom left, is often called the Pasteleria (or more
commonly a Spanish version)
included a yellow tabby kitten. Each came with shelves, pots, pans,
a stove, baking dishes, cookie cutters, utensils and more. It varies from
the kitchen version by the tile floor and starry curtains. It was not only
released as the Pasteleria (Spanish), but also in other places as well. It
is the 2nd. edition Kitchen.
Bottom right, is the regular version (1st edition) of the Kitchen with
all accessories shown. The other version of the kitchen is the Spanish
Pasteleria. It is an except replica of the first, except for sticker
coverings and floor color. No ponies
were included with either set.
Loving Family Playset
The Loving Family Playsets were interesting
accessories sold in the UK (primarily) at the time that the Loving Family Ponies
were sold. These were just one or two loose accessories. The example
to the right is of a high chair and bottle. Below is a playpen and duckie
pull toy.
Schoolhouse

photographs of all accessories.
The Schoolhouse opens out from a
mold similar to
the beauty parlors into a very elaborate schoolhouse. It was pink with
green window and a yellow bell. It came with two desks, pencils, globe,
glasses, rulers, jump rope, and multi-colored xylophone.
Show Stable (second release) with Lemondrop
Click
here to see individual photographs of Mint in Package Show Stable and
photographs of all accessories.
The first issue of
the Show Stable (in most places) was basically
the same as the one issued in the
U. S. However, there was a second release of the Show Stable
Internationally in 1989. The U. S., 1989 release was different from this
one; it is known as Home Sweet Home. It is basically the same as the early
issue except for a few subtle color changes. You will see brighter colors
in the stable, and the pony issued.
Lemondrop (earth pony) is yellow with purple
hair and purple drops. Her colors are brighter than most U. S. releases.

Show Stable (Italian)
Basically the same version as the US release, except for the Italian titles. However, this version came with a variant Butterscotch pony.
Butterscotch (earth pony) is brown with white hair and
pink butterflies. She is in the standard collector's pony pose. One
notable difference is that she has Italy imprinted on her hoof.
Cascade (earth pony) is yellow with
green hair with blue and blue green sea shells. She
has violet eyes and is in Parasol's pose (shy pose).
The Waterfall came in the United State with the pony Sprinkles.
However, there was a foreign version of the waterfall that included a pony named
Cascade instead of Sprinkles. It is basically the same Waterfall the was
sold in the U. S., except it had a green base instead of a white one.
Cascade was not available in all places internationally, hence her rarity.
Please note: Sprinkles was also
included with a version of the green-based Waterfall. She was first sold,
then later Cascade was sold.
