Off Topic / Re: What cartoons are you watching rn?
« on: August 16, 2020, 03:36:47 PM »
I have been slowly watching my way through all the different Barbie movies. It has been fun to rewatch some I saw as a kid and find new ones that were release afterwards.

Finshed cleaning through 1 bin of thifted ponies and added everyone to my shelves once photograph. Sorted fakes and doubles into resale bag to pass on at some point. Now working on bins of thrifted dolls and once there done I!ll start on the bin of mixed/ to be repaired.
Haven't bought anything new pony or doll wise due to all local toy shows being postpone or closed.

Pony Corral / Re: The best thing about collecting...

Is being creative when restoring ponies and photogarphing second hand ponies. Since most of my herd is from thrifting this gets done a lot. It is fun to find new ponies that came out before I got back into collecting and add them to my collection. Being gifted ponies by family,friends or coworkers always make me smile because the pony has a good story to go along with them.

If you look up a thousand splendid dolls on flicker. She has pictures of her collection of Mary Kate and Ashely dolls on her account. She also has a YouTube channel that has great ideas for cleaning and fixing up dolls. I hope this helps you out.

I was rereading D gray-man, but I have stopped reading at the moment due to having to tracking down missing volumes. Once I track down the missing volumes I will continue reading it. I am also working my way through The Full Metal Alchemist manga.

I mostly collect my little pony from all four generations, But my other toy collections that I am actively collecting at the moment are Grand Champions/model horses, 12in sized fashion dolls, mini figures. My non toy collections that I add to once and awhile are pins, coins, cosplay and craft supplies.

Yes they are super cute and easy to display on my shelves. I still have some of the petites from my childhood herd andI just found a replacement for the merry go round I had as a child. Once my shelves are cleaned up again I can't wait to reset it back up.

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Re: Non-mlp model horses!

I have a mini herd of Grand Champions horses from when I was a kid. Some have also been found while thrifting and have been added to the collection. They were my first repaint projects due to getting sharpie all over them when I got back into collecting and tried to fix them up. They sit on top of my office desk mixed in with the other model horse figures I have. I played with them and my Barbies a lot.

The Dollhouse / Re: What kind of doll collector are you?
« on: January 17, 2017, 07:26:15 PM »
I mostly collect second hand 90's Barbie, clothing or accessories that I have find when I'm out thrifting for ponies. A lot of my dolls are from when I was kid. My collection is mostly a mix of Disney, sailor moon, monster high dolls and 1 ever after high doll. They all live in my doll house that my dad built for me as a kid so they are mostly grouped together unless there getting cleaned up or id. Some times I feel bad if I do a big toy shop all at once so I try to do once and a while. It also helps to have family and friends that like looking for doll or ponies I don't have when they are out and about because they love adding to my collection.

Pony Corral / Re: What playsets did you have in your childhood ponies?
« on: September 29, 2016, 06:47:04 PM »
As a kid I had the crib, tub, mini pony cottage, bed and mini pony carousal sets. I wish they were still complete sets but over the years they got donated, broken or lost. I have some of the smaller pieces or ponies from each of these set but not complete. This is due to me mixing pony, Barbie and Grand Champion horses all together in play as a kid.

Pony Corral / Re: How do you prioritize your pony hit list?
« on: July 24, 2016, 02:22:29 PM »
I don't have a prioritize pony hunting list. I usually find them at Goodwill or Value Village. If any are found at either location I pick them up. I usually pick out ponies that I like their colors and don't seem to hard to clean up. If I am looking for any G4's they are found during toy hunts and I usually go for new characters.

My favorite non-MLP toys would have to be my Grand Champions from my childhood that I have restored or my doll house that my dad built for me as a child that I am working on resetting up.

Pony Corral / Re: Am I the only one who likes the G3.5 newborns?
« on: July 15, 2016, 03:57:17 PM »
The babies and adults in this generation are really cute. I have a couple of the playsets and they make great places to display ponies from all 4 generations in. This style of ponies make me think of the way anime characters are done in smaller versions with big heads which makes them cute.

Introductions / Hi
« on: May 05, 2015, 05:07:53 PM »
Hi

I'm Rainshower, My mom got me started with my little pony when I was a kid. Then I grew up and my childhood ponies got put into storage. but when I moved out my mom gave back all my old stuff to sort out and I found them again. I got back into collecting in 2010 and now I am an adult collector. My collection has mixture of g1, g3, g3.5, g4, ponyville and blind bags. Most are found second hand. I can't wait to learn about new ponies and how to restore them.  I also can't wait to see all the cool photos as well.
