Every Windy
« on: December 04, 2016, 02:02:20 PM »
Some 12 years ago, in an effort to keep my collection on a smaller scale, I decided to focus on one pony - Windy.
I chose Windy as the Nirvana variations have a lot of variety.
This month I finally finished the full collection! Unfortunately the good camera is dead, but I couldn't wait to show them off so I took photos with my cell phone.

From Left to Right:
US Windy, Mythical US White Windy, French Windy, Lilac French Windy, Dark Purple French Windy, Italian Windy, Greek Windy, Peru Windy, South African Windy, Argentina Windy with Light Blue and Yellow Hair, Argentina Windy with Green and White Hair.
US Windy on Card in the back.

Now what do I collect?!

Nicely done!  I was going to do a Windy army, but the SA and the two variants of the French Windy (much more expensive than rainbow hair)  were huge turn offs though due to cost and difficulty to locate.  12 years in the making, you are a patient person, but it paid off.  They all look good next to each other. 
 

PS-I really like your Argentina with the blue and yellow hair. 

For your next project, I think Gusty would be pretty cool or maybe Moonstone or Moondancer.  Moondancer would be quite expensive though Good Luck!

As someone who also is tight on space, I completely understand about keeping your collection tight... and WOAH your patience, diligence, and caring for Windy is truly remarkable :heart:

Thank you for the inspiration!

Thanks everyone!
I think my husband is mostly just entertained by my pony passion, so I had to share with a group of people who would appreciate them.
I work in international business so I find Hasbro's lack of global consistency interesting. I don't think you would find so much global variation today.
I remembered after the picture that I had the 25th Anniversary Windy, but I think she only half counts since she is new anyway.

jrr74 - I thought about Gusty because I love the alternative version so much. I started a Bluebell army but there was not as much variation so I lost interest.
Applejack could be interesting, but outside of Columbia variation is minimal.
Does Moonstone or Moondance have a lot of variations? I don't mind if some ponies are super rare. I think most of the fun in collecting is finding the ponies. :  )     
Since I keep my collection limited I only buy a pony once every year, or every few years. So that keeps the cost down.

Raspberry Brulee -  I see that you are in New York as well so I am sure you understand the space pain!  : )

Ember1 - I was waiting for someone to say that!
I saw in in the Ebay auction during Thanksgiving and I had never seen her before. My first response was "Nooooooo". I was so close being done! I bid on her but in the last few minutes she went from a few hundred to $3,000+. I cant keep up when the bidding goes that quickly.

Do you know if she is the only one? If she is, I dont have to count her until she is verified.  : )
