If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

San Francisco, it's just like my hometown Amsterdam. Cultural, openminded and friendly people

Do you collect anything other than ponies?

Nothing else

Ponies-

How long have you been collecting ponies?

I have started to collect officially end 2002, begin 2003. But I got my first ponies in the 80s. Lickety Split as first.

Why did you start collecting ponies?

I had a rough youth and wasn't able to take my collection with me. So my grandparents stocked them for me. When it was possible I took them in my apartment. And started to collect the ponies I never got in my youth. Finding out there was a lot more to collect :)

Who is your favorite pony and why?

Barnacle. The pirate pony always on the hunt for treasures. And for me it's the treasures of life :)

Who is your least favorite pony and why?
When writing, no pony comes to mind

Who is your favorite pony from another country?
I love my Argentinian protoponies

Who is your favorite fakie?
haven't got one

Lickety Split

My latest items for private collection and not for selling are Tiny Tin Minty G3 and a G4 towel. And some upgrades but I don't see them as new :)

What is your favorite generation?
G1

What is your favorite part about collecting?

The hunt and finding something unique and I love going to conventions meeting other pony fans

How big is your collection?

All 4 gens together I guess about 1500 ponies but I haven't counted in ages.

What do your friends and family think about your collection?

They like what I do and are very supportive. If I am going to a convention one of my friends take care of my cats.

Do you still play with your ponies?

No, just displaying and messing around

What rare or popular pony makes you ask why!?

Yeah why are the South Africans so expensive


If you could have any pony remade in a different generation, who would you choose and why?

Barnacle in another gen would be nice

What has been the worst part about collecting?

If someone snatches a pony in front of my nose. And skyrocket high prices because it's mlp

Completing the basic collections of the gens

I found a Piggy Fresita and G2 Spanish Seabreeze for the 2nd time. Getting the G3 Breast Cancer promo ponies.

No pony in the reach of my hand

No. I did make a custom once

Would you ever be?

Its too precise for my hands

What do you think of custom ponies?

I think they are very beautiful and some could be official ones

Unacceptable, cut hair and dirt is just fine

Thank you for the kind responses :)
I may have to add that with the cut hair Nirvana's are the exception because some are just hard to find in a nice condition.
