Hi all!
Recently I’ve been obsessed with petite ponies! They are soooo adorable, and the hunt to find them is exhausting but exhilarating! I am 28 away from having a complete g1 set. But I feel like that is a goal that will take another 30 years to complete!
My question is does anyone have a complete set of petites? If so, can you post a photo? I’d love to drool all over it please!
Also, if you own any of the fakie petites with the stamp bottoms, can you supply more information/pics of them? How many were made? I know I’ve seen a MOC set which confirmed they were fake, I’d love to see that again if anyone has that saved!
Thanks pony friends!

I have a complete set of Petites(including the G2 Petites). Sadly, ever since Photobucket...changed, I haven't found a new home for posting photos, so I can't help you with that. I can point you to the Petite Pocket if you haven't seen it before:

It's not my site. Silverdawn made it way back in the late 90s or early 2000s, and it's quite fun to drool over:)
I can say that once I got serious with the Petites, it took me about a year of very serious hunting to finish off my collection. I had some from lots and whatnot, and I did already have the G2 Petites so I had a head start, but it didn't take me 30 years to finish them off:p If you're looking for something specific, I have quite a few extras.
I do have 5 of the stamper Petites. I donated a picture of one of mine to the Petite Pocket years ago:

My pic is the yellow one. From what I can tell, there are 4-5 color combinations for those stamper Petites, and they released them in multiple poses. So for example I have two different poses for the pink with dark blue hair Petites. I believe the symbols are reused for the Petites as well, so all of one color combination have the same symbol. I don't know how many poses each color combination comes in though, so I'm not sure exactly how many there are.

Bar the stampers and the G2 fair exclusives I also have a complete collection (omg I love them.....)
Once I got into them that was it, and I was on the active lookout. It took me a couple of years.... maybe 3 or 4 (or even 5? - it's been a while! :P ) by the time I tracked down the last few I needed. There was one in particular, the twinkle guitar petite who just became the bane of my collecting life, lol!
I have chanced upon two playsets this year. Previously I didn't have any. I then discovered that the playset petites have the same big eye/small eye variation the pony parade petites have.... Ugh... I try not to get into variations but I ended up keeping the doubles since the differences in the petites was a curiosity in itself. Particularly Flurry - the two moulded versions I now have are two very different pinks.
I once had the green crayon petite with the symbol in a different colour (purple vs orange). I ended up trading her at the time but in hindsight I kinda now wished I'd held onto her. I think I was a bit caught up in trying to get other petites I didn't have as opposed to holding onto interesting (and rarish in her case) variations.
Can't quite seem to find my petite cabinet photo, but I did find my glow in the darks in action - so here's a bit of fun for you, Mermaid :)

I love the glowing petite photo. :lovey:
I really like petites but I am far from having a complete collection. I have most of the houses and a few of the shops. I still need to replace one of my childhood Twinkle petites that went missing.

I also think petites are neato ;) but I don't know where to begin to collect them. I guess it comes down to luck, since they're so small.

I just got into collecting the petites after thinking for the longest time that I wouldn't bother! Managed to find quite of few of them through lots on ebay. Kinda of ironic, since when I first got into collecting MLP G1, I sold the petites I had! Pretty sure I now have more than I had, and I even have the castle again. Sort of; one of the cats knocked it off where I had it and at least one accessory fell behind the book shelf. ^^;
Didn't know that website existed, so I'll have to check it out! :D
Edit: Aaaaand now I kinda want to make G1 brushable customs of the petite ponies. :art: In my infinite spare time, I'm sure. :lol:
