I'm pretty new here on the arena, and one of my favorite things about the collector community is the concept of swaps, something most G4 fans don't do. It's like the best of ponies, plus pen pals, plus care packages all put together. Naturally I was eager to participate in my first one, a private swap with SolsticeAdam, and WOAH! I'm absolutely in love with the new additions to my herd.
Here's the box as I started to eagerly open it late last night. Bright colors! Pony stickers!:

Have been drawn toward ALL the blue ponies lately) but she's perfect for me because I've been yearning to add some more winged ponies to my collection. I've got lots of unicorns, some earth ponies, but am pretty light on the pegasi. ::shivery winged heart flutters:: Plus, she's peach-themed...which I'll explain in bit!
Let's take a closer look at these pink ladies.

She's ready to join with the other princesses to create a rainbow! Peachy is my very first collector pose pony. Fun fact- when my fiance was in high school, he won a beauty pageant and was crowned the "Peach King" of 2001 at his hometown's annual peach harvest festival. Awesome/hilarious! So peaches are a special thing for us, that's why she was on the top of my want list! She's literally covered in love, and will sit right next to Peach Blossom on my pony shelf<3 And then there's Parasol, with excellent glittery symbols, her rainbow mane, and precious head turn! I imagine her as a very optimistic pony who sees the bright side of everything, and I'm always happy to have a little extra positivity around me.
Smaller ponies next! Rarity is the favorite pony for SolsticeAdam and I, and he included two figures from two of my favorite Rarity episodes.

Seriously, this was my face when I opened Crystal Pony Rarity:

A stylus (Perfect for Pinterest marathons on my Ipad), comics for me to curl up with before bed and a TON of stickers and card from Enterplay! We did a "favorite things" swap, so you'll notice Princess Cadence, King Sombra, The Wonderbolts, Coco Pommel, Twilight's magic hot air balloon, and even Daring Do! All of these gems came out of the process of getting to know each other's favorite ponies.
