What do you do with your ponies?

[Khayman81]

Hi! I haven't seen this topic, so I try this on.
What do you do with your ponies once you got them.
Do you store them?
Do you place them in motion?
Do you play with them?
Do you resell them?

I am just curious since my therapist asked me what I did with them.
I like taking care of them, brushing them, cleaning them and putting them in poses together as if they were doing something.
What about you?

I clean them up, style their hair, put them in my display cabinets, and then pull them out to photograph from time to time. I collect toys for their cuteness and modelling ability

[EnaRocketQueen]

I display them, style their hair and play with them occasionally

[Goanna]

I like keeping them on my desk, in view so I can admire them. Sometimes I draw them, or just pick them up and hold them or brush their hair :3

[Tracks]

I tend to just display mine.

Sometimes I get them down, brush their hair and reorganize them

[SkyCakes]

I have to store them. Someday they will be out again. I can only hope. I got out my dream castle recently. I let my daughter play with the playsets every once in awhile on a special occasion. She plays very nicely with things.

I style their hair and put them on display. sometimes I blog about them/photograph them and reorganize my shelves.

I display them, sometimes I reorganize them, I style their hair, set up scenes... I dont play with them like I did as a kid though.

I like to style them, play with them and display them. Sometimes I'll switch it up and move some ponies forward so they can be up front because I have very little space for them currently.

[Leave a Whisper]

I brush and clean them, if my daughter asks I'll play. I take pics and write captions for fun and of course I display them. Makes me happy.

So I see I'm not that weird. Sometimes I think of playing with them, I think of stories they may be in, but it remains that way, I like changing the place they are or with what ponies they are so they can play with each other when I'm not around :-). I try to make their home a nice one.

[S.o.a.r.]

Do you store them? In a manner of speaking; I keep everything MLP related at my parents' house in my old room, in my old closet that's slowly running out of space...

Do you place them in motion? Nope, I'm kind of boring that way; I keep them standing in a row organized by sets and/or poses.

Do you play with them? No, but my niece always wants to play with them whenever she visits. Since she's still so little, I only allow her to play with 4-5 selected ponies that are not rare or super special. Luckily she's very careful playing with them and she's totally in love with baby unicorns.

Do you resell them? Yeah, I've sold off quite a few over this past year. Mostly duplicates but also some ponies I've just never liked and that was included in a pony lot but never on my wish list.

i like putting them on my shelf and setting them up like, with their friends? or make up little families for them, that sort of thing. For instance, one of my fakies and my bunches-o-fun are girlfriends, and my genie is the "wise grandmother" pony. Tabby is a mother figure to them, and miniglory is a little kid. I like setting them up on my shelf and waiting a few days, and maybe moving them around a little bit.

I also just like looking at them. I recently had TOO MANY blind bags to fit on my shelf, so i had to put them away in a box and it broke my heart. I had to leave my favorites out because i just couldn't put them away to hide.

I don't play with them necessarily, but i definitely write little stories in my head for them. I also just like having them, it makes me feel more complete to have a big collection.

I style their hair very, very carefully, and put them in my display cabinet (which has very quickly run out of space! ).

[BethyVic]

I display them mainly.  I don't usually play with them, unless you count styling their hair.  I am haven't sold any for a few years. I told myself I wouldn't sell any G1's unless they were doubles. I used to buy and sell and I regret selling some of the G1's.
