 Overview: Ponies made in Colombia look to have been produced from 1982 through 1987 by the company Kico. There are very few Colombian ponies circulating in the market today which probably have to do with the smaller production numbers that were originally made. The ponies discovered from Colombia so far are: Bluebelle, Blossom, Applejack, Bowtie, Boy Pony Apple Delight, baby bluebelle, baby blossom, and baby bowtie. The wide variety of color combinations rather than different individual ponies are what makes Colombian ponies so unique. Some ponies have as many as 10 different color variations that we know of. So suffice to say that with each new discovery we learn more and more about the types of ponies generated during that time. So how can you tell if you have a Colombian? Composition: Most colombian ponies have a rubbery composition and feel somewhat squishy. (Some adult shy poses have more of a plastic feel to them while others feel very rubbery). If you drop one of them from a shallow height they will in fact bounce to some extent!! (Rubber is a natural resource of South America so Colombia is unique for utilizing it in the production of their toys) Weight: Colombian ponies are in fact heavier due to their rubbery composition than normal ponies of a more plastic composition. This is one of the main ways we can learn to distinguish Colombian ponies from other variants. For Example: A Greek Collector Pose Bowtie weighs in at .15 lbs while a Colombian Collector Pose Bluebelle weighs a whopping .2 lbs Eyes: Colombian Ponies have some of the most diverse and inconsistent overall variations in regards to eye aesthetics. It is thought that at least 3 different factories produced Colombian Ponies in the 1980's and lack of coordination or artistic regulation produced some of these variations. General Rule of Thumb: All Colombian Ponies are currently known to have blue eyes!!!! That is where the consistency ends however. The collectors poses have large outlined eyes with a medium shade of blue. The shy poses have smaller eyes with a deeper shade of blue. The Ember head pegasi babies can have eyes thathave an airbrushed appearance or eyes that look roughly painted on with thick strokes. First tooth baby ponies always have this unfinished raw look to them. Apple Delight boy ponies, on the contrary, have refined airbrush quality eyes that appear quite normal. Hooves: Ponies from Colombia are also inconsistent with hoof markings. Some ponies have their country of origin labeled on their hooves while others are missing this label. And even stranger, a few have surface with the country of "Italy" stamped under their hooves. Perhaps Italy sold the molds to Colombia for production? Adults (CP pose or shy pose) are marked 83 or 82 Hasbro Pat Pend on their front left hoof but have no country origin. Daddy Apple Delight poses have 1987 Hasbro Pat Pend made in Colombia marked on their hooves. The first tooth babies have no markings on the bottom of their hooves. The ember head baby pegasi have 1984 written on their front hoof and made in Colombia written on their back two hooves. Hair: MOST (not all) Colombians have forelocks in the top of their manes as a distinguishable feature. The composition of Colombian pony hair hair seems to have a cotton-like soft texture with a silky shiny appearance. Mane and tail lengths vary and have been found long on some ponies, and normal length on others. Poses: So far all adults have been discovered to be earth ponies while babies have been found in earth and pegasus pose. To date there have been no unicorn ponies found in either baby or adult poses.
