Hey guys

[C-Puff]

Hi everyone. I've been aware of the Arena for over 10 years now, but at the time I felt I was too young and lived too far away to properly be a member and after that I erm.. forgot

I live in South Africa and primarily collect G1 ponies. Perhaps mostly out of nostalgia? heheh

Ponies are hard to find here, even G4 ponies can be annoying to track down (and I don't think we ever got the blind bag ponies of G4), so it's difficult for me to collect on top of this, I worry the very very dusty atmosphere where I live will damage them. It worries me a lot @.@

I generally buy ponies that are in 'played with' condition as I don't have the confidence that I could keep mint ponies looking mint. (again, see 'dry/dusty country comment)

I would like to perhaps buy through this site if ever possible, however, I'm more interested in sharing and gathering information I'm interested in collecting photos of packaging, learning about ponies from other countries outside of the US I may not know as well and try to learn how to judge what people may be selling second hand here.

This is getting long but that's basically it. I'm gonna try and be active but I'm not super chatty. Forgive me if I go quiet for stretches of time

Sometimes I draw things. You can check out my deviantArt if you're interested at all. just thought I'd mention it.

Hiya, C-Puff! Welcome to the Arena!

You're never too far away to be a member, we have members from all over the globe here! I'll be sure to check out your DA, you're also welcome to share your pony art in our Art forum as well. I hope you're able to obtain more ponies, we have lots of sellers here, you may even be able to find some in South Africa to ease the costs of shipping. Enjoy the forums!

I suppose do you have any of the South African release G1 ponies from childhood? They're pretty sought after, so it would be great to see photos of your collection if you have any for us to drool over!

Great to have you here, C-Puff. I hope you find lots more ponies to add to your collection

Welcome to the Arena

So glad to see you finally joined us here   Happy pony hunting

X3 Hi! I'd be great if I could find sellers here in the country! (even though my mom seems dismayed that I'm spending money on ponies when I'm suppose to be setting up health insurance, life policies, etc etc. I can't help it 8D;; )

I tend to visit the States every 2 years for Comic Con in Sand Diego. I should see if I could also find a way to incorporate pony buying during that time ;D (Although Comic Con itself has some very nice and kind pony sellers)

I only have 1 Nirvana pony I posted about her in the Nirvana forum because I got her in a rather sorry condition and was wondering if she'd still be worth anything at all
But now that I'm better informed about them, I'm definitely gonna keep a closer eye on our local bidding website and hospice stores I will definitely let know if I find anything interesting!

Thanks for the welcome guys X'3 everyone is nice here.

Welcome to the Arena! Thats great that you have decided to join us I hope you have a fantastic time here.

Is the pony in your avatar your own work? She is one of the celestial unreleased ponies? Your work is stunning!

[C-Puff]

Thank you so much Hathorcat! 8'D Yes, she's my own art. I wanted an avvie to use since I don't like leaving that blank when I joined sites so I used one of my newest drawings

I've been in a slump art-wise for a few months now, but she was something I actually managed to draw this week and I was so happy ;w;

thanks so much for the nice compliment! <3
