My fathers girlfriend found her childhood collection of my little ponies today.
She's enjoyed watching me start restoring my own childhood herd, and so she decided to gift her ponies to me.
I'm just so delighted to have them! :frolic:
I can't currently post pictures, since we have my little niece over, and she has promptly confiscated the new additions for the afternoon. (New pony fan in the making!)
But I now have 6 new lovely girls, and a lot of surprisingly cute fakies, not to mention a ton of pony outfits, and a pretty parlor play set set that will be brought home later.
The girls need a bit of TLC, but they're all in fairly good condition. I can't wait to start working on them, and have them look their best again.
There was even an extra special surprise for me in the bunch.
Ever since I've found my own childhood herd, and started looking around online to identify them, I've also encountered a ton of ponies I do not yet own, but would love to have at some point. One of the ones I instantly fell for was baby Cotton Candy. I think I must have squealed when I saw her among the bunch today. She may be a very common pony from what I've gathered, but I'm so happy to have her! :biggrin:
[Edit]
I finally had the time to take some pictures. Excuse the crappy background. Best available on very short notice >>
Here are the lovely new girls. Next to Bubbles, Peachy also turns out to be an Italian girl. I'd forgotten to check before.
As I said, they all could do with some cleaning and general TLC, but I'm sure I can have them look their best again.
They're posing with Twinkles. Dad's girlfriend said they'd bring the parlor home today. I cant wait to see it!
The hair on baby Cotton Candy and Dibbles looks very white in the pictures, but it's actually still a lovely pink. ^^

And here are all the lovely new outfits. (After I checked my little wiki and figured out what went with what. >>)
All but the flash prance outfit are incomplete, but I don't mind, It's to be expected after a lot of childhood playtime.
Not to mention that I've never had any real pony outfits before, so I'm very happy with these.
I'll be carefully washing these, and repairing loose seams and such to the best of my ability.

Thank you! ^^
Next to Baby Cotton Candy I am now the proud owner of Peachy, a purple with pink hair baby Ember, and an cute but lonely Dibbles. I'll have to see if her twin pops up somewhere along the line. I did a bit of searching online for the other 2 girls that were in the bunch (now that my little niece has relinquished them ;) ), because I recognized both, but they both looked a tad unusual to me.
One is a French Blossom, and the other, to my surprise, seems to be an Italian Bubbles with a collectors pose head.
I have no idea how special those would be, but I'm ever so happy to have them regardless of whether they're common or not.
They're both lovely.
That's so cool that you got a ton of MLP! How wonderful!
Thank you very much! ^^

Owwwwhh my gosh how sweet of her to give her old ponies to you!
And that big white fakie with the pink hair...i had that one also when i was a kid! Only i had her with light blue hair! It was the very first "pony" i got!
I'm so trilled to see one again although only on pictures....can you look for me if she had some stamping on her hoves? I can't remember what brand she was i only know she was bought at Vroom & Dreesman back in the days...

I actually posted a topic in the Pony Corral, in hopes of finding out who all these fakies are.
I checked them all for stamping, or other hints as to who produced them, but I unfortunately couldn't find anything on any of them.
I hope you won't mind if I add that that used to be sold at the V&D to my thread. It might help with identifying her.
Funnily enough, my fathers girlfriend told me that particular fakie was her first pony too. ^^
-
No not at all! I hope only i remember it correctly...i was 6/7 years old then!
I think those fakies came around the same time the first MLP showed up at the stores here in Holland. Because i know my parents wouldn't bought expensive toys right the minute when they came out. I know i asked and asked a pony for weeks...and got the white with blue hair...and a couple of month's later my very first pony, SkyDancer, when i was at the hospital for surgery....
I really really wish i found one with the blue hair someday myself.... Or just better...my childhood herd from my aunts verry messy attic!! I think i'm gonna ask if i can search for them myself....but that's another story for another tread on the Arena!! ;-)
-
They are all so sweet! I love little Dibbles... I've been searching for one to pair up with my Nibbles, hahaha. Baby Cotton Candy is adorable! I love them all! :)
-
Wow I would love to inherit someone's herd lol. Love the ponies.
