Probably around 3-4 dozen MLP toys from every generation. Found at the Treasures/Antiques mall on Jefferson avenue. Didn't have a chance to buy any or go for a more in depth look as I had to get to work. Saw a couple G2's, thought they were fakies at first until I noticed the (c)1997 Hasbro stamped on their hooves. Mostly G1's featured in that pic, there were some G3 and G4 toys on another shelf that I didn't get a pic of.
Going back today to grab a few.

That sight is my dream every time I go into an antique or thrift store.

That right there gives me hope, that you can still find G1s in the wild.

brightberry, that Bluebelle had no tail, I didn't pick her up.
Got a couple more pics of what that shop had to offer:
Other ponies, including a so soft and... a bear? The shop owner said that bear was part of the G1 show, though I haven't watched too much of the original series. I do have that Shout Factory collection released a couple years ago.
The variation of G3 Pinkie with her name on leg, baby Surf Star, G1 Moonstone I don't know the two in the middle, briefly looked on Strawberry Reef, the purple pony with a 3d ice cream symbol and that rainbow maned beauty with glittery umbrellas. Sparkler and what looks like a 25th anniversary blossom on the end.

The bear is from Moondreamers, another toyline that Hasbro created that sort of "accompanies" the MLP universe. :)
the purple pony with a 3d ice cream symbol : that's Sundae Best Sherbet
rainbow maned beauty with glittery umbrellas: that's Rainbow pony Parasol
Yes the ponies in the first pic are G2s!

I would definitely have picked up the Twinkle Eyes too! In fact, I would have bought them all apart from grilled Lickety Split XD

In that case, I would have taken the toasty Lickety to give her a new life as a custom or a restoration ! :D

Oh I am so glad you went back and bought some of those ponies! I would also have bought grilled Lickety myself, because: shame. And Fizzy... she has been on my list for so long now. Same with Snuzzle.
Congratulations on your new ponies, what fun to have found so many at one time :frolic:

I would love to find a haul like that in a second hand shop. Congrats on your new acquisitions as well :)
In fact, honestly, just the idea of finding Sparkler anywhere in the wild in this country would be awesome to me :) I still can't get over how easily you guys over there can get those y2 and y3 unicorn and pegasus ponies. Never found any of Sparkler's set in the wild here in 20 years, and that one looks very pretty :D

That would be so fun to find that many Gi's in the wild! Congrats!

Picked up Moondancer, TE Fizzy and a G2 Morning Glory yesterday, I'll clean them up this weekend.
I'm trying to spread out my purchases and not spend too much at once. Saving up for Bronycon next year, bought a badge during black friday and am looking into plane fare now.
I don't really have a favorite G1, I just check out thrift stores once and a while and pick up ponies I don't have. I've been collecting more older gen MLP toys than G4's, mainly due to the variety of colors/poses and the fact that they look more like equines.

What an awesome find! Only in my dreams do I find more than one or two ponies at a fleamarket at any one time. :D
They cleaned up so nicely, too! :lovey:

Regarding this G1 Moondancer, I think she may be an Italian variant. At least going by the pictures on My Little Wiki. Her symbols aren't symmetrical, and has Hong Kong etched on her slightly concave hooves. Any way to tell for sure?

The purple pony with the ice cream symbol is Sherbet, a Sundae Best. Congrats on all your finds!
