Ooh this is my jam!

Hi there MLP Arena people, another new member here. I'm from the UK, in my early 20s. This was I believe the second pony forum I stumbled across and I've lurked on here occasionally since Novemberish.

I, like I suppose quite a few of the newer members here, had little experience/interest in MLP until Friendship is magic surprised me and became one of my favourite shows. I am registered on a different forum (who knows some might be here and recognize me as I used the same username) but that's more for talking about the show, whereas I've been drawn here for the toy/merchandise talk.

I started collecting some of the toys in December I think, about a month after I got into the show. I currently have the brushables of Pinkie, Rarity, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack as well as toy original characters(?) Lily Blossom, Feathermay and Flitterheart. I am a little disappointed they aren't more show accurate, but they have their own cuteness about them  I'm more disappointed in how being a UK fan, it can be difficult to find things 

And probably like many others here, I'm excited about the recent announcement of the new toys including White Celestia

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Unfortunately it's getting a bit late here and I'm quite tired, so I probably won't be able to do too much here tonight, but when I saw I had an email saying my account was authorized I just had to come do my introduction

Welcome to the Arena, I hear you about the toys not being close enough to the show.  I think the blind bag ponies are a little closer then the main toys.

 to the Arena! I know what you mean about having trouble finding pony merchandise and things, my country is a little slow too. At least we have some lovely members here from the US who are usually happy to help us get what we need!  I hope you enjoy yourself here
