So do you really collect every single release?

[Bergamot]

I'm going to try to have a complete collection of G4 Rarity toys sometime, but I only intend to collect releases that are actually different from each other. I'm don't collect ponies MIB, so the toys themselves must have some kind of difference (Tinsel hair and display side variation included!).

Gosh dx that must be an amazing collection!

When G4 started I fully intended to do something similar - but that is because I had the amazing thought of lots of ponies - different colours, characters, types...an amazing variety. But to be honest in the last year I have realised that is not the case with G4. So now I collect one of each character - I dont need different poses or symbols on a different side or a different hair order or with tinsel or with a funny eye - just one of each character thats all.

Pics someday soon when I finally get my spare room, Cat.

No duplicate mane 6's for me, and if I do end up with one I either give her away as a gift or keep her in the bait bin for future customizing. I already like the ponies I have, and see no reason to have more than one just because the latest reissue comes with new accessories or a glitter symbol or something. It's just easier to keep track of everything that way.

I use tail-ribbons to tell the different releases apart.

I'll get doubles if there is something unique about them.  Duplicates I end up with of the mane 6 that are exactly the same as all the others get added to my okay for customizing box.

I try to stick to one of each character - I still don't have Rainbow Dash!

I avoid doubles as much as i can, that includes characters that get released in a different pose. I will only get multiples of the same character if i really like the character and if there is a very noticeable difference between the toys. Like Shine Bright Luna and the new princess mold Luna.

I consider buying "doubles" to be a waste of money and space. It's better to spend that money on an item that doesn't look like an item i already got.

I feel the same except I do buy different pose ponies, I don't care about accessories and will only buy same mold-same character if there is something noticeably different or cool about them (like Nirvana variants or awesome symbols)

Like G4 Rainbow Dash (she's a huge exception but ONLY because she's my favorite pony, I am willing to get both the regular and the tinsely haired one and maaayyybee the glimmer wings one too, but that's it )
