What a nice place!

Hello all you wonderful people!

Thankyou to eBay user *alyxzia* for telling me about this place.

I'm from the 80's and so are my sisters - we still have the My Little Pony movie on VHS somewhere..... although it did get jammed in the VCR (remember those ?)

I prefer the look of the older generation ponies (physical models) over the new G4.
The new G4 ponies look as though they have snouts or little beaks where their face/mouth should be.

The vector animations of G4 look fine, but trying to put this look on physical pony dolls gives a somewhat unnatural look, IMHO.

Anyway I hope to see more of everyone on this forum as time goes on.
.....and also find myself a nice avatar  :-)
Be seeing you!

Nice to meet you! I'm an 80's kid as well and G1's will always be my favorite. I don't care much for the other generations, honestly.

Welcome to the Arena!

Welcome to the Arena

I collect mostly G1s as well but I also own a huge number of G3s too and am slowly adding some G2s and G4s.  Don't be surprised if the other gens win you over too now that you are here

Enjoy the forums

Welcome to the Arena.  So do your sisters still collect or is it just you now?

Thanks for the welcome!

To answer a few questions....

avenie1984 & himmie - Thankyou!  Nice to see you too :-)

Teddy - I bet there's more than a few 80's kids here, right?

kiwimlp - Actually it was the renewed interest in My Little Pony from the G4 crowd that led my sister to buy a DVD of the G1 movie (the one that got stuck in the VCR long ago).  I'll always prefer classic animation over computer/flash but I'll admit they have made it work very well for the new G4 series (it doesn't look simple & cheap like so much other computery flash style animation for TV).

Diamond - only one other sister really, but it was more the videos back then over the actual toys.  There's still some stuff she has in boxes though, childhood memory stuff....

Anyway I'll be seeing you all around this place from time to time hopefully :-)

^ It's nice you were able to find a replacement DVD for the video you lost in the machine all those years ago!  I confess to still owning a VCR, although I don't use it often

Welcome! I'm a child of the 80's as well, and I love G1 ponies! But other gens are creeping onto my pony shelves as well.
