Baby Bienchen (Baby Honeycomb)

Baby Bienchen was sold in German speaking countries in around 1988. She was never sold outside this region, making her especially sought after (although she does not seem to be uncommon in those areas). She was sold with a bottle and a ribbon, but no other accessories. The necklace shown in the picture above is not hers (I just like giving my baby ponies necklaces). She was a surprising choice for this set being that adult Honeycomb was not sold in Germany at all. Perhaps for this reason, the baby has a different hair colour - yellow blond instead of neon yellow. Her name, Bienchen, means 'Little Bees'.



When Baby Bienchen was first talked about online, there was a lot of confusion about her release area, and she was listed as a UK baby, but she was definitely not available over here (sadly). Although she is generally called a 'German' baby, mine came in a trade from Austria back in around 1999, and she was definitely sold there too.




Baby Bienchen's Character

German is not my best language skill, and I have never seen Baby Bienchen's backcard, so I am really not sure about her story or her personality.
