hello! i have been a mlp fan from age 5, but have only started to enjoy collecting recently.
i absolutley adored my ponies from ages 5-8, when i collected g3 ponies from there early stage... then i started to gradually lose intrest when the "G3.5" ponies came along. they were a bit TOO girly.
that all changed when FiM started airing, though. mlp was back to its roots- ponies that were lovable and witty. and so, my collection started up yet again. i cleaned up my g3 ponies and playsets (especialy minty and sparkleworks, my childhood favorites) and started buying, starting with the mane 6.
i recently brought the G1 ponies glory and firefly, which happend to be shipped today, so its quite possible ill be collecting them too!
