Nirvana ponies are pony variants with very limited distribution. (Variants on the ponies sold in North America.)
These ponies are exclusive to certain countries because they were either only made in that country or they were only sold in that country (and made in China or Hong Kong for instance).
Ponies are listed here under their respective country. You can click on the country name for more general characteristics of ponies and extra info on country´s pony production.
Ponies with subtle variations can sometimes be identified by their hoof markings, ie MACAU, SPAIN, ITALY etc.
Ponies were exported to neighboring countries, so a MIB pony in a German language package may not be a German nirvana pony. You have to check on the package where the pony is made, or somehow get a look at the pony's hooves.

In India, only the first six collector ponies were sold. The ponies were made in India, and clearly marked as such. They were made through Playskool, so the hooves are marked Funskool rather than Hasbro.

Macau ponies were made in and marked Macau, they were not sold there. (Macau is in China, somewhat similar to Hong Kong.) Only the first six ponies and Lemon Drop were made. These ponies were mostly sold in Germany, and possibly other European countries. Macau ponies are known for a few unique color combinations. Most notably Jenny,a brown and white version of Peachy.

Mexico
Mexico | |
Mexican ponies were made and sold in Mexico. Initially the ponies were licensed to/made by a company called Lily Ledy, such ponies have clear hoof marks that say "Lily Ledy" and "Made in Mexico". This company made only the first six ponies, but then their factory burnt down and Hasbro then gave the license to a company called Auriken (who also made versions of the first six).
