Family Reunion-Officially "done" collecting G1s...No seriously!

[heftysmurf76]

"Family Reunion" Hi Everypony! It is with great pride and not the least bit humble bragging ability that I share the FINAL two ponies I have added to my collection in the last week, Daddy Sunbright arrived 2 days after his "brother" Daddy Berrytown. With these final 2 additions, I officially own "every" US and European/UK released G1 pony made, this includes Mail Order ponies, with only a few custom substitutions (I do not and will likely never own an official Rapunzel for example).

 I did not collect G1s as a kid, but discovered them as an adult after being an avid G3 collector. Many have said "You're never really done" and and it's been teased that I'm likely to start in on German ponies and Nirvanas (the latter of which is INCREDIBLY unlikely), but for now I am "done" and Unabashedly proud of this part of my collection, as I am a big fan of rainbows and Gradients...

Thanks go to many, but for these final two, I have to say an eternally grateful "Thank You" to Aubrey Marcum who helped me acquire Daddy Sunbright at this years pony fair, and Lindsey Sunshine Bock for doing an astounding job of recreating the gradient hair dye (If you need custom work done, please consider the AH-Mazing work Lindsay has done!) 

Phew...I could not be prouder and I feel very "wealthy" with the accomplishment of this investment! So without further ado, here is a very amateur photoshoot...The Black shelving is the official "home" for these families. Thanks for taking the time to read this and please celebrate with me, Christmas for me has come early, and I could not be prouder, happier or any more delighted!!!
