Hello!
« on: September 26, 2016, 11:23:49 PM »
Hello everyone!  I'm Maven from Texas.  I'm a SAHM with a preschool-age daughter who loves her some MLP:FiM.  I was in the age group to be in on all the G1 ponies, movie, and shows.  I only had 3-4 myself but my friends had them all.  I regret giving my ponies away (Thanks, Mom...) so I've started acquiring mine plus some of the ones I always wanted.  And I'm totally using the excuse that my daughter can play with them (riiiiiiight :biggrin:)

I've had a fascination with both Pony and Barbie hair for as long as I can remember.  If I'd known about boil perms in elementary school, maybe I wouldn't have tried cutting their hair.  I still have all my Barbies, scalped and all, and I'm looking forward to rehairing some soon.  I customized a few Barbies back in college and am considering customizing some ponies.

I can't bring myself to call poor-condition ponies "bait" ever since my husband thought I was talking about dogfighting.  It breaks my heart.

Hello! I hate seeing people refer to G1 ponies as "bait" also...especially when a lot of the time, they just look a little grubby! I've seen some really amazing before-and-after cleaning/restorations here, though, and hope to be able to contribute to them myself.

If you haven't already noticed, there is a board here for dolls and other non-pony toys as well! You should definitely check it out when you can, I'm sure a lot of people here are also Barbie fans.  ^.^

Welcome to the Arena :wave:

You can have a collection for your daughter and a collection for yourself... totally acceptable that you shop for both at the same time.  Discounts/postage savings, etc :silly:

Enjoy your time here on the forum!!!
