The ones I can remember offhand:
Baby Snippy was "Scissors" and she was a boy in my childhood herd
Jangles and Tangles were Humpty and Dumpty (and were also both boys)
I also think my Fancy Pants Baby Bows was just "Fancy Pants" and Baby Dots n Hearts was "Sweet Stuff" lol

I collect them because they still make me so happy! I grew up during G1 and they were my absolute favorite toy. I started collecting again after high school when G3 started, because seeing them showing up in the stores was so nostalgic for me. Very little de-stresses me quite like ponies!

I love these kinds of threads, too! I love the picture of your grandpa playing ponies with you. So to continue the theme of ponies + grandparents, here's my 4th birthday party (my grandma is with me in the second photo) visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

When I look on ebay and I see an overpriced lot with ponies who have not been cleaned or brushed, with elastic bands still in the hair, and the description is "1980s my little pony lot" and that's it...
You know someone just picked that up to make money from it because "ponies are rare".
I hate those people. Genuinely. I don't mind people who buy ponies, clean them and bother to take some care with their sale and description because they may be dealers but they are at least trying to make the product worth buying. And I don't mind ponypeople doing it - we all do it. But just seeing $ or £ signs and not even bothering to do the basics? That really irritates me.
Identify ponies, clean ponies, brush ponies, describe ponies. Otherwise leave ponies for other people who care.
I wouldn't put an ad for the same reason. Unfortunately maybe I'm a cynic but I feel the British second hand mentality is more likely to be greedy than generous in this situation. I admit at sales I never use the words 'my little pony', I never differentiate ponies from fakies when I ask about stuff, I have used the word 'horse' before to ask about ponies - just to make it look more like I;m a mother buying for kids than a collector. Because I know the moment they think you're a collector, you're clearly a mindless money bag who will pay anything for hooves.
I totally understand you! That's some good tips by the way, I have a baby face so I doubt they will think I am buying for a child but you never know I suppose. I will try this out IF I ever find anything worthwile at a sale 
Occasionally, when I browse toy tables at flea markets, when I go straight for ponies, the dealer will ask if I collect them. Don't ever fall for this, lol, as it's a clever way for them to try and hike up the prices if one hasn't already been negotiated or marked. I ALWAYS respond to this question with "Oh, I have a niece" or "My boyfriend has daughters." I'm not out-and-out lying lol, but I'm also not opening myself up to being ripped off.

Thanks, everyone! There were so many people at the antique mall yesterday, I was worried I'd see someone else walking around with an armful of ponies before I could find any lol
I was also really excited to see Baby Princess Sparkle in a lot in the wild, too. She's so cute!

So I forgot to post this the last time - I went to an estate sale a month or so ago, where there were a few ponies along with a bunch of other vintage toys. Sorry about the picture quality and location, the only photos I have of this stuff is a bunch of snapshots I took just to show my SIL what I'd picked up, haha visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginNon-MLP under the cut  Spoiler visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI also picked up a bunch of the poseable Care Bears who were in the box with the cloud cars and accessories. I don't have a group shot of them since I've already boxed them up to send off for my niece and nephews.  And I just realized that somehow I seem to have forgotten to post this other small lot I got through an app: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd today I picked these few up at an antique mall  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Congrats! You cleaned them up so well - I love Lemon Drop, she's more and more becoming a favorite of mine.

Congrats! I think you got a great deal on Paws! He has his kerchief even!
He doesn't.
Ahh, I thought I saw it peeking out from under his mane, but I was mistaken. That's too bad. Still an exciting find, though! He's really cute.

Hello and welcome! Don't worry about your English - not only is it great, but there are plenty of other members here whose first language isn't English. Can't wait to see pictures of your collection sometime!

She's so precious, congrats! I keep hoping that since I live in Texas, someday I'll find Mexican ponies at a yard sale or something, lol but so far no luck

I love MPP! I'd love to have those girls someday, but I have never seen one in the wild, and I see them come up for sale online so infrequently. You're so lucky! Also, the random sportsball helmet is Cincinatti Reds, which is a baseball team.  It looks like the helmets you can get from ice cream stands in the stadium, like they serve a sundae in it.

Welcome! Were your SA ponies part of your childhood collection, or did you get them later on? I sometimes wonder about how crazy it would be to have Nirvana ponies from childhood and then later on find out just how special they are
