Hello everyone!! I just stumbled on this forum and I can't tell you how excited I am! My name is Erika, or Whimsy and I'm a long-time toy collector who has only somewhat recently got big into MLP collecting.
Personal:How old are you? 30!
Where do you live? State, Country? Winnipeg, Canada
Do you work or attend school? Profession or major? I'm a contracting legal assistant at a big company~ not thrilling but it buys the Ponies!
Who are the important people in your life? I spend most of my time hanging with my little kitty, Sugar Sweet!
Ponies:How long have you been collecting? My very first Pony was Tea Leaf in 2004 and I knew I wanted them *all* at that moment. But I only really got into actually collecting three years ago when I could buy my own!
Which generations of ponies do you collect? G1, G2, G3 or G4? G3 is my favourite, closely followed by G1! I primarily collect nostalgic toys, but G4 is *adorable* and growing on me fast though!
What made you want to collect ponies? My friend was really into collecting Ponies and we went to Toys R Us so she could pick up a few and I fell in love with the bright colours and sweet faces on the spot!
Tell us about your collection! I collect a lot of 80s/90s toys, and I originally only had a dozen or so G3 Ponies. But the Ponies make me the happiest
I somewhat recently found a G1 Dream Castle which I absolutely adore and am working on restoring (unfortunately the colour has faded over time
) I post pics of my collections on my Toystagram -

I'm excited to meet new people and learn how to make my Ponies prettier (some of the girls need a good brushing!) See you around!!
