Hey all! It took me some time to get to post my intro, but here I am! Not that anybody was waiting
I'm SoSoftPony and I'm a fairly new collector... Less than two months! I'm only interested in G1. So far I have two, a 1986 ‘‘Wedding Bells’’ Confetti and a 1989 ‘‘Loving Family’’ Baby Apple Delight. But I hope to get more in the future! Living in Eastern Europe puts a bit of a dent on pony hunts, unfortunately... I also hope to procure myself one So Soft pony someday. My grail is Scrumptious, but I believe she's an US exclusive, so that's gonna have to wait a bit. In the meantime, there are plenty of other ponies to look for, right?
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post pictures, but if I am, here is a shot of my two gals hanging out by my desk! Baby Apple Delight came tail-less so I had to rehair her. She was an absolute wreck overall!

I'm in my 30's, and even though G1 was all the rage when I was a kid my parents never let me get any for some reason. I remember sitting down, when I must’ve been like 5 or 6, at a table or desk and playing with magazine cut-outs of the ponies since I couldn’t have the real deal. They were fascinating–I could look at them all day! So I'm delighted that I can have them now. To me, they’re just friendly little critters that I can take care of and make happy, just like they make me
Besides ponies, I also "collect" Barbies, although I customize them so it's not really about me wanting to get all dolls out there. My favorite things are to craft, knit and sew for them. I have plans to make some patterns for custom pony wear in the future, too! I already pulled together a knitting pattern for a kind of "pony rug" which is a kind of blanket or coat that horses can wear. I'd like to make something like the old "Pony Workout" set with the sweatpants and hoodie
Oh, and before I forget, about the "porum" thing in the title... I've been so obsessed with ponies lately, that the other day I was telling my partner about wanting to sign up for the forum, and my brain combined "pony" and "forum" into one word...
"PORUM"! And I guess it's kind of stuck
Well, I've probably rambled enough now. Thanks for reading and have a great day, everybody!
