Many of us have pony rooms. Many of us played with ponies as a kid.
I live playing with ponies, and college t them too. Would you let me come and play with your ponies? Would I have restrictions like gloves or sit quietly as choir of pony Angel's sing...hehe.
This is all in fun. So if I cam to your house as a very understanding collector what would I get to do in your pony room?
If you came to my pony room, be ready to play because all of the toys and play sets come out! Our baddies would cause problems maybe they battle or must be cleansed by the fountain of conditioner hehehe. In my pony room all collectors can play:)
I am on my way to your pony room:)
-
If you could find space and build me a pony room, you can play with whoever you like (aside the MIP and the flutters, for obvious reasons of delicate parts xD). I wish I had space to display my ponies. They come out occasionally in small numbers to be cleaned or groomed or styled or just because I feel nostalgic. I don't play with my ponies, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't let someone else so long as they treated them gently and didn't mess with factory curl.
-
All right I am bringing some tools and building you a pony room. I feel you on the ponies in hiding. I had to store mine as I am in an apartment. I will drool over flutter wings:) but promise to carry a hanky to catch it all...haha.
-
If you could find space to help me organize, have at. My pony room is very cramped. Most of my ponies are in played with condition and meant to be handled. If I have in-box ponies, there is also a loose double for touching.
-
Id totally invite you to play :) My ponyroom is pretty small and very full but youre still invited :) No gloves or something! As youre a fewllow collector you know about not brushing Candy Cane ponies and such :P and so on... hehe.
-
I would totally organize a pony room!!!! What fun. Can you imagine the conversations. Tex can't go on this shelf...him and Starburst had a fight over who would rule the shelf kingdom...Tex did not win. Did you hear 4-speed is teaching the twins how to fix pinkie pie party cannon? Oh the gossip as you put families together.
Really these full cramped rooms makes me feel all warm as I am surrounded by ponies and love...and turn out the lights and the best ghost stores happen as all these eyes fall on to you.
-
Bust out my ponies and start playing. But you gotta bring some of yours too.
-
Oooh this is fun. :biggrin: I don't have a pony room. all my ponies are on shelves around my room, and on top of my wardrobe and any other available shelf space i can find! :biggrin: You can play with what ever ponies you like, i don't mind. I usually have hair brush days with my ponies. If you have Dream Castle please bring that ,along with pretty grooming parlour and show stable! :biggrin:
-
Ok I have a dream castle so that's a plus....and I bring ponies with me:) check all ponies need to be played with. I have twilights castle and the crystal castel....let's have fun!!!
-
I don't have a pony room, so my ponies mostly live in a display cabinet or on shelves throughout the house. I'd love to play with your Dream Castle too.
The only ponies I would require gloves for is my custom Marius as his basic color is black and even as little as I've handled him, he does show fingerprints.
Please build me a closet where my fading pink ponies can live I won't end up with another pony accidently faded to white hair.

You want to come and help dust my ponies? There are only another 200 left to dust.
Fellow collectors I'd be fine with handling my ponies but would probably prefer that certain customs weren't handled too much. I don't really even handle them often. Pretty much everything else you'd be welcome to look at or pick up and brush or play with.
I don't like letting little ones into my pony room. I didn't mind before but I had one written on plus they'd want ponies and I'm sorry but they aren't for you to take home. I feel bad then that they came in to see this "wonderland" thinking they can take some home but have to leave empty handed. So... no more kids in unless they of an age that they understand that they can come look but the ponies ALL stay.
-
I personally tend to just go into my pony room and stare. Or move things like 1/2 to the left :lol:
It has a bunch of fun colorful lights and a giant "lovesac" (aka memory foam 'bean' bag chair) I primarily go in there for a specific sensory vibe to unwind.
But a trusted pony loving guest would be welcome to come and play with any of my non-super-precious ponies. I have a small few ponies who I'd be tentative to let folks handle, but the majority of them are common and just sitting on a shelf so I'd appreciate someone putting some life back into them. I mostly just like to look.
Though we'd have to strike a deal that if their mane's got too messed up in play that we'd have to work together on their spa day. Teamwork!
-
My pony room is more or less my bedroom, specifically two shelves in there. I’d like an official room to display everything nicely (my poor G4’s are in the basement, hiding!) but don’t have the space. Perhaps when I move out, or invade my sisters room. She doesn’t need it, does she?
A fellow collector coming to visit? Heck yeah we can play with them! The only person I get to play ponies with is my youngest sister. Great times, but can be a bit repetitive or lacking in the adventure I enjoy. Heck, if any of you are coming, bring some of your own ponies so we can have a massive party or something. Pony RPG sleepover bonanza anybody?
-
None of my ponies are too fragile to be handled by a fellow collector, I only buy robust/not in perfect condition ponies so that I can play with them :).
My main way of playing ponies is setting them up for photos, so we could pack a bag of ponies and tiny accessories and take them outside for adventures and photos! We could set them up having a picnic or camping!
If you wanted to bring any playsets I don't have (i.e. everything except the Nursery and the Kitchen!) for photography purposes, that would be awesome too! And bring some of your ponies to meet mine. They might strike up friendships and end up being pen pals :lol:.
Then of course it would be time to brush everyone's hair and put them back on their shelves, and relax by reading pony annuals and comics :).
My ponies live on a display with my dolls and beanies, so they might join in the fun too!
-
Oh my gosh I wish we all were neighbors!! I would love to play the MLP RPG game!!! Oh the stories I would create for adventures...to very able to see beautiful ponies I would so dust and spa day!!!!
I do agree with no kids or supervision. I about lost my dream castle to kids unsupervised and parents telling me it's only a toy...blah.
I love playing with ponies:)

:D :D :D OMG yes hehehehe! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
-
i say play with ponies!!! i don't exactly play with mine anymore... mostly take photos.... buuuut if i'm dusting my shelves i have been known to rearrange ponies to who i think they'd like to be with :P
-
I don't have the imagination to play with ponies anymore... (Isn't that sad?) I'm more of a clean and do hair kinda gal. You're welcome over any time. The pony room is a shared space, we can always use help sorting sports cards...
-
I will take care of the kids' pony room... since my ponies often find themselves in my daughter's room... *sigh* stuff can get broken & fixed here.
-
I am all about spa days!!! That's like 90% of the fun. No imagination...I bet you have a great idea for pony hair:)
We could do photo stores. Ringlets (I think that is who) did amazing photo stories!!! I used to and miss doing them!
No clue about sports xards... but it sounds like fun. Like a match game:)
Not to toot my own horn, but consistently I run into kids at my job. I get the looks of this child is so hyper active they will take you out....and by the end they are taking a nap!!! Hahaha I sadly don't have my own so I live playing with other's kids.
-
What a fun thread! :D
I don't have a pony room, but I have two small displays with some of my favourite ponies in my bedroom. As for the rest of my ponies, my nightstand is a big tub filled with ponies. XD
Children aren't allowed near my ponies (not that I know any children, but hey), but I totally wouldn't mind another collector handling them. After all, collectors know how to handle ponies. :D It would be so much fun to open my tub o' ponies with someone who knows ponies! :frolic:
-
Hello it's me again! what i'm loving the most is we are all of us scattered around the world, but we are all playing with ponies and imagining that we are all together in one place playing with ponies! doing our own thing hair days, playsets, what ever! :biggrin: :biggrin:
-
This thread is so much fun!
Currently all my ponies are in storage as we are in teh midst of a renovation, but I take some of them out every chance i get to brush hair or take pictures of newer ones visiting the herd. When the renovation is done anyone is welcome to handle my ponies, brush hair etc etc....I'm buying new shelving units for all my ponies and am excited for the renovation to be done for this very reason of displaying!
I agree on being careful with customs of course, but even they are allowed to be handled gently :D
-
NO TOUCHY
But not because I'm mean, it's because some of them are sitting JUST. SO. and they'll fall over if their row/shelf is disturbed, lol!
-
I'm SO glad you asked because I actually, literally have a sign on my room's door that says "don't touch the ponies, they may bite." With collectors, I'm less bugged by it because I trust we all would treat them with utmost care, but I really am bothered by just anybody touching or playing with my collection. My mom likes to bring in clients who come to the house and sometimes friends/family to see my room (even though not even half of my collection is displayed) because she thinks it's just so neat (and so does everybody else, I haven't had one person have anything but a positive reaction) so that's why I have the sign up in the first place.

lool i might have to get a similar sign (sideeyes little cousin)... or maybe make a shelf for her since she loves the pony lady upstairs :P she's taken most of my blind bags and some brushables already (willingly on my side, don't worry!)
-
So you're coming over to play with my ponies?! great! :squee: :newpony: :hearts: collectors/ adults allowed!! no need for gloves or songs to persuade me ;) :D if you want spa days , photos, playsets everywhere, want to make a new display, make up stories or take the collection outside? - totally yeah!!!! come in!!!! :)
I just have one rule: no kids allowed!! ( - "no touchy!" applies to kids making grabby hands ;) although I might not apply the rule if they are kids who like cleaning and want to wash some of my bait/restoration ponies :P )
We could do photo stories. Ringlets (I think that is who) did amazing photo stories!!! I used to and miss doing them!
Guilty !! that's me !! and thank for remembering me and liking my stories!!! :lovey: :hug: :deathhug: :heart: :lovey: :tackleglomp: :cheer: :frolic: I miss doing my photo stories as well. Real life problems got in the way = no fun!! I miss those times when I had chance to do a big photoshoot with a story - I'd love to get back in to it!! :happy:

Hmm. If friends/relatives agree to warn you when kids are coming with, then you can have your ponies mostly displayed in a cart to wheel away into another room or closet so long as your collections aren’t too big for that… can keep a tub of other toys to set out that can be broken/claimed as your decoy meanwhile. :whoa:
I am so out of box I’ve a circus tent an adult can fit inside usually set up in my living room. My MLPs spend a lot of time parading to it and they are pretty durable if humble work horses. I and they play quite a lot, sometimes a friend will but most are too shy. Normally it’s just the parakeet and he only loves/plays with Baby Surprise and two of my turtles for reasons I haven’t quite figured out…(but suspect is partly over that shiny limey hair...) :bird:

looks like I'm the only one who can handle the children touching my ponies LOL admittedly I did raise my voice more than a little bit when I realized my Greek ponies were hanging out with the Pinkie Pie army. AUGH those are Mommy's special ponies!
-
I think the reason I'm ok with people playing is that my sister has access to my collection. And she's not rough with them or irresponsible, but to her they're still toys more than collectables, and she will kidnap them and put them in her dressing gown pocket sometimes...(my sister sounds about eight with that description, she's 31, some of you have met her at ponycon, she's the one who rescues sad looking ponies unless I can talk her out of it...)
In any case, Naynie and I played together with ponies as kids, and while neither of us play ponies any more, getting them out and stuff is part of the fun of them. Sometimes it's the garden, sometimes the lounge, sometimes on trips. I've taken ponies to lots of different places. I have my special Fluttershy (Fluttsi) that Naynie bought me to take to Japan and she's got a whole travelography (if that's a word) of images from Japan, Portugal, across the UK...I think she may also have met a couple of ponypeople...but I've also taken ponies to other places or bought them in other places and then taken them on sightseeing trips. I guess my MOC ponies are definitely not for play and my sister (who doesn't collect or really like MOC) would never mess with them. But the loose ones are mostly fair game...
Mostly.
It's rare for me to have other people come and play with my ponies, or even meet them. I would love to have that happen more. I've taken Baby Susie to a couple of meets, hence the on grass photos in the gallery of her with Billie - but the only reason I don't take her now is that I worry about losing her...rather than thinking anyone would hurt her. I think she's the kind of pony that should be seen because she's the only one - but I'm prone to being an idiot, and since I left a bag on a bus and lost my camera case in austria...I'm rather more wary of taking rare ponies on trips.
-
My pony room is a work in progress and bursting with other 80's toys. My ponies have also been in storage for a loooong time and I find lots at thrift stores so most of my ponies need a spa day. So I think we would be having a huge spa day for all the ponies that I haven't had time to clean yet and then organize my shelves. :biggrin:
-
I think when it comes to letting kids play with your ponies, it depends what sort of kids you know! I like to think I was quite careful with toys when I was little, about the worst thing that would happen to them is that they would start to look a bit messy from being carried around everywhere; but I've seen enough second-hand toys to know that some kids play quite roughly. I don't know any children personally; if I did, I might let them play ponies if they were the careful sort of children. If not, I'd probably get some toys specially for them and not let them look at the pony collection so they wouldn't feel they were missing out! When I was little, one of the most annoying things was being shown cool toys and then told 'they're collector's items, you can't play with them'. In that case, little!me didn't want to see them :lol:.
Fellow collectors, toy fans and kids-in-adult-form (lol) are however welcome :). Sometimes I even lend out ponies or dolls to people I really trust, especially if they're travelling somewhere interesting and want a companion. If the post wasn't so unreliable, I would totally want to organise a pony exchange with ponies visiting other collectors and seeing different parts of the world :).
-
Shaz, I had the same idea of traveling pony too! But I hear another shipping hike is coming in the USA...blah and then all the theft and lost packages...so scary. Hearing all these great stories of fun in pony rooms wish we could meet. Yes there is pony events established, but an event where we bring a tub of ponies and spa together, have pony adventures together, photo shoots, and the drama we could create ...and even ponies to admire.
Imagine a giant ball room. Sleeping bags, catered food and all we do is play with ponies!!
Working in daycare there are some awesome kids and some not so much when it comes to toys. I have a few kids can play with, but some are just special and I don’t even play with them:)
-
I've had a couple of other collectors check out my ponies, and I love handling and talking about them during those events - fortunately whoever I've met has been like-minded!
As a kid, I was all about playing with my ponies, but I don't do that as an adult. I'm a rescue, clean up, display and feel the love collector. I enjoying watching my kids play with their own ponies but even then, oddly, I don't join in. It's just not in me.
As for kids handling my ponies - my own girls I trust; they KNOW Mummy's ponies are special. Visitors - it's under strict supervision and there's no playing with *my* collection. And since I don't let kids play with them, my main concern is "how clean are your hands!!!" XD XD XD
