Wanted! / Wanting to buy Sea Ponies!
« on: March 23, 2020, 03:31:52 PM »
Hi! I'm a huge fan of the G1 Sea ponies but haven't had any luck finding any locally so far, so I thought I'd ask on here; does anyone have a Sea pony (preferrably adult) they'd be willing to sell? I'm not super big on condition, but I prefer in-tact hair and no age spots.

(I am from Sweden, which I feel is important to clarify!)

If you've got any and are fine with shipping here please let me know, thank you! :accomplished:

Pony Brag Arena / New Pony + Clean-up and a Nirvana?
« on: March 05, 2020, 08:26:09 AM »
Hi again everyone! So yesterday I got Daddy Bright Bouquet in the mail :newpony:

He was overall very clean and looked nice, but as the seller specified, he had a rattling noise coming from him. I suspected it was the tail washer that had come loose, and since he was suffering a bit of tail rust, I decided to find out.

Yuck! :yikes:
As suspected, his tail washer had rusted and come loose, spreading quite a bit of gross rust inside his body (poor boy). Welp, was nothing to do but give him a helping hand, so I did!

(I fear the day I get a Sea Pony to clean up)

Once he was all clean and dry and had his head back on, I gave him a nice conditioning and left his hair to dry and style over-night!

Done! He looks lovely now and I'm glad I was able to help him out :lovey:

I do have some more to add onto the post, however!
A day or two ago I took a chance at a $3 Peachy, which was described as "unstamped". Curious, I bought her. She came in the mail today and... turned out to be Italian!

Her poor hair...

Now, aside from her being Italian, I'm unsure exactly which variant this is, so if any of you know I'd love to be informed! (and don't worry, I'll clean her up) :good:

Anyway, that's all for this time!

Pony Brag Arena / Found my G4s!
« on: March 01, 2020, 12:16:14 PM »
After many hours of searching and tossing garbage out of our storage room, I have finally located my old G4s from when I was younger! :newpony: I also found my two G3s (RC Scootaloo and Starsong) but sadly didn't find my two G2s (Bride and Gardener) or what I wanted to find most, my G1, Melody.  :sad:

That's beside the point though! Here's the bounty I was able to locate at the bottom of the box. Most of them have haircuts, which doesn't bother me since they're not G1s, haha! Also feel like it gives them more character, so I don't mind.

If I am not mistaken, the ponies I own are:

Diamond Rose (Glimmer Wings), Ploomette (Glimmer Wings), AppleJack, AppleJack again, FeatherMay, Princess Cadence, Princess Luna (Crystal Empire), Rarity (Crystal Empire), Applebloom, Applebloom again, Sweetie Belle, Sweetie Belle again, Scootaloo, Starbeam Twinkle, Snowcatcher, Rainbow Dash, Shining Armor, Cheerilee, Lyra Heartstrings, Twilight Sparkle, Star Dreams (with a rather funky hairstyle, haha) and Pinkie Pie (Tinsel in hair)

(and a little extra pic for my favs)

Now notice something missing from this collection? Well of course, it's Fluttershy! I have no idea why I don't own one, but it looks like I gotta head down to the thrift store and pick one up! :frolic:

Anyway, that's all from me!

Pony Brag Arena / My first G1s! (Lots of pics!)
« on: February 26, 2020, 02:49:16 PM »
So about a week ago I obtained my first G1 ponies! ... sorta. I know I own at least Melody from before, but she's lost with all the other ponies I had for now. :accomplished:

Anyway, the bigger thrift stores gave no luck but a smaller one gave me these three: Lemondrop, Posey and... Posey again, though I believe it's the magenta flower variant?

As for condition, Lemondrop has unfortunately had most of her bangs cut off, and she also has a large, blue sharpie line on her off side which did not disappear even with acetone. She was also suffering from tail rust. Despite this, I still love her.
Posey (reg.) was in pretty good shape, only some surface dirt which came off with a scrub.
Posey (magenta) was scribbled all over with a green pen, though luckily that all came off with a magic eraser. She did also have an onset of tail rust.

Then came the intense cleaning.
Lemondrop and Posey (magenta) both had their tails removed and cleaned, as well as their metal clamps and washers replaced to prevent any more rust. For my first time doing this, it went quite well!

(Poor Lemondrop post tail-cleaning)

Now, here they are all cleaned up!

That's actually not where the post ends though, because this Monday I went back to the same thrift store and found these two: Parasol and Baby Cotton Candy! Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of them before I cleaned them up (guess I was too eager), but here they both are now.

Parasol was dirty but luckily it was all surface dirt, and Baby Cotton Candy was surprisingly clean!

Anyway, that's it for me! Sorry for the picture-heavy post, but I look forward to updating y'all with future pony finds! :happy:

Introductions / Hi! Newbie here
« on: February 21, 2020, 03:31:38 PM »
Heyyo everyone! My name is Riley and I'm quite new to collecting and ponies in general, so please excuse any mistakes I may make.

I'm just a 17 y/o High School student from Sweden studying art as a major (I don't quite understand other school systems, sorry!)
I'm extremely shy and quite nervous but value friends more than anything else in life, so I'd love to make some new ones who share my interest in ponies.

I actually properly started collecting about a week ago, but am already enjoying it quite a lot! I did previously collect a little bit of G4 when I was younger and watching FiM, though I sadly do not know where I stored the ponies (I am searching for them, however!)
Right now, I'm interested in mostly G1 with a little bit of early G4.
My interest comes from childhood memories (even though I'm still young, haha) and my general love for horses.

My current collection is very small but I am actively working on more additions and cleaning up the ones I do have (these ponies are older than I am, they deserve some TLC).

I look forward to learning more and making friends on here!
