The Argie line is a rich and various one, possibly the richest of all. Not only it included so many sets, but there also also lots of variants available, so that it is hard to compile a complete list of them all. The collector ponies set was made in Argentina, and many exclusive "hybrids" in the same pose (1982 or standing pose), as well as early unicorns and pegasi, rainbow ponies, Baby ponies (many of which od not have a counterpart made in Hong Kong), Twice As Fancy ponies, Rock ponies, Dance 'n Prance ponies, Sparkle ponies, First-Toothed babies, Fancy Pants babies, and many, many more. Most Argies are colour/pose variants compared to their HK counterparts, or fall in the hybrid category.
Notes: Some Argentinean ponies are poorly manufactured and their plastic is squishy, most of them however are nicely manufactured. Their quality is approximately the zame level as Italian ponies. There are tons of attractive variants among Argie ponies and collecting them is highly-addicting.
Both
ponies made in Argentina and Spain have cards written in Spanish. You
can tell them apart because Argie ponies were distributed by Top Toys,
while Spanish ponies were distributed by MB.
