Hello from Germany

[Glitzi86]

Hello everyone!

My name is Simone and I'm from Germany. My passport says I'm 33 years old, but I swear it was only yesterday that I was a little girl with a lot of My little Pony friends. 
A few days ago I was surfing through the internet and hoping to find a Paradise Estate that would magically beam into my collection. That's the only MLP thing I am really looking for. Instead, I found your forum and it looked nice and friendly and I decided to stay here.  So that's me, saying hello!

I got my first MLP in 1986, Glitzi (Sparkler), and that's how the madness started. We spent a lot of family holidays in the Netherlands and Danmark and we always adopted one or more MLPs over there. In a German Forum I made a list with all my ponies, I try to translate it. There were nearly 80 MLP in my little room when the G1 era ended. I still have all of them, I could never ever sell them (didn't have much trouble with a lot of my Barbie stuff though), I even brought them from my parents' house to my own home, carefully cleaned them and said hello to all the little fellas. Yes, I still know them by name.

And this is our herd:

My Pretty Pony
The original Pony - I named her Blika after a pony in the book "Dick und Dalli und die Ponies" (which inspired the "Immenhof" movies, does anyone know them outside Germany?)

other stuff
the German "Ponymagazin" - from the first (1986) to the very last issue (1993)!
a complete Panini sticker book and one with some of the double found stickers
some goodies from several years as a member in the German "Pony-Mami-Club"
tons of merchandise
some tapes with MLP stories
the fabulous MLP movie - which my uncle had to tape for me back then because my parents did not have a VHS when it first aired on German TV - and what a drama that was!


Wow, all those names in English. I try to remember some of them as they actually sound fancier than their translations.

To finish this ton of information about me: I am not a collector, I don't want to buy more ponies as they all have a special history, like where and when I got them. But there are some small "adjustments" one can always make in a collection. I can imagine to get some accessoires or toys for my ponies since they should make their way into a special display (they live in boxes again ...). And maybe I can finally make this one dream come true: My ponies have a lifelong right to stay here in paradise, they deserve (after all those years in the boxes!!!) their own estate!

Thanks for reading my not-so-short story and see you soon somewhere in Ponyland!

Welcome to the Arena!

That is a fantastic collection you have - I actually love seeing the names translated, they always sound fancier in their non-English versions to me.

I am sure the peeps around the Arena will be able to help you tweak your collection.

Have fun around the forums.

WOW! You have a very nice collection!

Thanks, you two! 

I actually love seeing the names translated, they always sound fancier in their non-English versions to me.

Welcome to the Arena!

[Diamond]

Welcome to the Arena.  What a phenomenal collection, I am jealous of your alternate Birthflowers.

[MoondancerMilkyWay]

Welcome to the arena! It's great to have you here!
You have a most wonderful intro post!!

[LunaDehligt]

Hi and welcome to Arena

[Glitzi86]

Thanks for the nice welcome!   

@Diamond: Until a few months ago I did not even know what treasures live in the small storage room in the attic.

Hi and welcome to the Arena

My passport says I have just turned the big 40, but I tend to agree with you, surely it was just a couple of years ago I was playing ponies with my best friend

Enjoy the forum

[Glitzi86]

I found some photos on my computer which I had taken when I brought my ponies to my new place. I hope it's okay to upload them via tinypic? If not, I have to edit this post and find an alternative.

This is the nursery with part of the herd.

And the Pretty Parlor with Peachy and Twinkles and all the original accessoires. Look, hathorcat, there are more German pony names!

I had another Peachy (in the first picture front row between Confetti and Sparkler) as a solo pony. Peachy's German name means Peach blossom, so I called her twin sister Peach twig ("Pfirsichzweig", which sounds so much better in German ).

The school with Musictime and Sweet Clover.

I actually ruined the school's "pink board" after a few days. I was soooo mad that it didn't work properly, I scratched it with the pen so it has a deep cut all over it. But the ponies didn't mind. They were learning from their books and were pretty good listeners. 



My other photos look like a commercial for a now bankrupt hardware store chain (because of the boxes).  I have to take new ones.

[hathorcat]

Oh those are awesome! Thank you for translating! And your collection looks fantastic

[Glitzi86]

Hey there ... I was quite busy the past months. My Ponies are still asleep and we didn't find the time to take new pictures, but I made kind of a New Years resolution to clean up that upstairs space and display my Pony and Barbie collection. It's just too cold up there now to get any work done.

Welcome to the Arena!

[Uninu]

Wow, what a collection! Welcome to Arena
