Title: My Rare MLP for Castle Keeps Gargoyles
Post by: Vera on September 15, 2016, 11:26:58 PM
I collect Castle Keeps Gargoyles (http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/castlekeepsgargoyles.php), I'm obsessed with them and they are even more special to me than MLP, as I remember mine from when I was little and it was my best friend <3 I have three of them as shown below, and would especially love to find the lavender/blue one next, but would happily trade some of my rarest ponies for any of them I don't have! It would be cool to be the first person who has the full collection, though I know a few others who are closer, just saying... it would be really cool XD

Here are the ones I have:

Ponies I have, in at least near-mint condition: TE Mimic, Baby Splish, Mommy & Baby mail order set, Argentina Lofty w/backcard, Mountain Boys, rare merch and more. I'll get pics and give the full list for whoever has Castle Keeps to trade. I'd also happily make a generous $ offer, and I know what they've been selling for lately! ;)

Just thought I'd also share a little painting I did of them. <3

Nice collection! That blue one. <3 I have two, the one you have in the center and then a lighter pink. I would love to add to my collection, but I know it's going to be one of those adding like one every year or two kinda things.
I don't know anyone else that has more than three. Do you know anyone with the yellow one? I have never seen a non-stock photo and am wondering if it was actually made. Good luck on your search!

They are just so kooky :) I don't know if I'll ever find another so I'm happy with my own gargoyle lol

Those are cute! I've never seen or heard of them before. Like My Little Gargoyles or something? They are also reminiscent of lady lovely locks...

I don't know anyone who has the yellow one, but Lori on Flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/venivididolli/15927144430) has 5! It's the most I've seen all together :)

Also, I made a flickr group (https://www.flickr.com/groups/ckgfans/) for them even though only 3 people on flickr have at least one of them, couldn't help myself lol

I made an agreement with a user here to purchase one, but I'm pretty sure they went back on it, as they neglected to make the auction private, as they agreed they would do. They didn't let me know or anything. I wouldn't recommend dealing with them. Who knows if they'll take the money and run. Their feedback was next to nil on here & they don't sell anything on eBay, their feedback is all just items they've bought. So I wouldn't recommend anyone bid on it. I'll keep everyone updated and will share the username and leave appropriate feedback once I know for sure what's going on, IF they even respond. Nobody wants to deal with someone who wastes their time and drops a deal without warning or explanation. This is really heartbreaking as I had my hopes WAY up for this.

She was the one who messaged me about it, she was the one who set the price. I don't know what happened but it's such a nasty thing to do.

lol, I just found a comment she made on a post a while back, bragging about how she bought the SAME exact toy by talking an eBay seller into removing the auction and selling to her for 1/3 the price as a "private sale". Nice...

That's terrible :( It's people like this who ruin the community.

I love your painting!  I have actually had a complete collection of these since 2012, including the yellow one.  I don't have any extras though, I long ago gave them to one of my best friends who now has all but the yellow.

A little off topic but I saw on Ghost of the Doll you were looking for a Darlin Dino. I have T-Rexanne for sale here
