I will make a full list later, but what I am really after at the moment is the Mommy/Mummy Charm that came with the mail order "Sweet Scoops" pony. I've been trying to track this down for some time so I'd be willing to  pay a pretty decent price for this if anyone has one to sell.

I have never customised a pony or other toy before, but I rcently bought one of the blank, G3 ponies from the Hasbro website. I have an image in my mind of what I want to do, and it involves a very soft and sketchy look. My question is:

Is it possible to draw on these ponies with coloured pencil? And, if so, what kind of pencil specifically and what could I have to do with it (ie. would I have to seal it with a particular product or something) to stop the pencil from fading?

I hope you guys can help...I'm completely at a loss here!

There was a comic-book convention in Melbourne last weekend. After lining up for 10 hours over two days in an enclosed space with tens-of-thousands of strangers...I finally got Stan Lee to sign my pony:

Because of her bright colours, her wings, her jewel-eyes and, of course, the fact that her cutie mark consists of a series of masks, I have always considered masquerade to be the superhero of G1, so she was an easy choice for me when selecting a pony to take with me.

Stan Lee is one of my greatest heroes. For as long as I can remember, my older brother has read and collected Spiderman comics, so I have grown up thinking of Spiderman as another member of the family. Meeting Mr Lee was probably the most exciting experience of my life so far.

I just wanted to share this with you guys. If anyone else had photos of ponies they have had signed by anyone, please feel free to post them in this thread. I'd love to see!

My name is Pernickety and I'm a pony/fan collector from Melbourne, Australia.

I'm 26 years old and have been collecting ponies for as long as I can remember...although I must be a very slow collector because my herd currently totals only about 50 ponies. It's slowly growing, though.

I collect mainly G1 ponies and almost all of my new acquisitions are online. I always keep an eye out at thrift stores and markets, but to this day I've never been able to find a purchase a G1 pony in real life :-(

Just recently I started a blog as a way of exploring my love of My Little Ponies and sharing it with others. It's essentially a My Little Pony themed fashion and lifestyle blog. You can check it out at www.alltheprettyponies.wordpress.com

If any of you have your own pony blogs (or blogs featuring other cute stuff) please let me know as I'd love to connect with more pony-friendly bloggers.

Also, although my blog is very new and my updates are currently a little slow, I'm hoping to include some more interviews with pony collectors in the future, so if you think you may be interested in sharing your My Little Pony story and photos of yourself and of you collection, please drop me a line!

Hmmm...that was a bit of a long-winded introduction. Oh well! It's goodto be here and I hope to spend a bit of time here and get to know you some of you guys a bit better.
