New Collector says hello
« on: September 27, 2018, 02:51:55 PM »
Hey! I'm Ghoulmouse, you can call me Tilly or Mouse or whatever you like, really. I currently live in the midwestern US, and I work as a freelance editor (right now most of my work is doing localization for manga, actually).

My parents recently moved house and unearthed my childhood G1 pony collection. I really loved MLP growing up -- they were especially special to me because I was a tomboy who thought it was embarrassing to be into girly stuff, so they were the only sparkly cute things I "allowed" myself to like. I was amazed that my parents kept all of them and once I started reading about how to clean up and fix some of the ones that were in worse shape (one of my So-Soft ponies literally got run over by a car! She's still kicking, though, somehow), I got interested in collecting and making customs. So, here I am.

I haven't inventoried my collection or anything, but it's all G1. I have a few G4 ponies but I'm mostly interested in G1 at the moment. I am, however, totally ignorant of G2-G3, so I might look into them a little more at some point.

My favorite ponies are Twilight, Glory, and Gusty (obviously I like unicorns a lot).

As you can tell by my username, I love Halloween and all things spooky...but I think everyone needs a little glitter and pink in their life sometimes. Plus, I've always loved collecting and preserving/restoring objects...especially stuff that other people tend to write off, like plastic ponies :)

Nice to meet you all!

Hi Tilly! G1s are my ultimate favs too, and the unicorns have such fun personalities in the original movies and series.  :biggrin: Great time of the year to join the forum too—happy early Halloween month! Are you planning a few costumes for the season?

Welcome to the forum. :heart:

Welcome to the arena!
I find that G1 and G3 tend to be the most similar of the gens, so maybe you'll find some favorites in there. There's some halloween G3s that you might love!

Hello welcome!
I can totally relate to you with the tomboy thing, I just couldn't resist them haha.
You should look into the G2 and G3, they are just so cute and lovely and who knows, you might find one you absolutely adore.

Hi Mouse, welcome to the Arena!

G2 and G3 are nice gens :) G2 is my second favorite gen (G1 is my first) so I think you should look into them ;) Moonbreeze's site is wonderful! http://www.lavenderlagoon.com/

There are lots of things revolving around Halloween here since it's just around the corner :) Personally, I'm looking forward to the Halloween coloring contest!

I'll see you around the forum! Nice to meet you, enjoy your stay here :D
