Check in time!  I have two ponies and two extras for my partner; I actually asked our lovely swap host to ask my partner a question for me but I haven't heard back from her.  So I'll post in case other ponies are curious as well:
How do you feel about So-Softs?  Collect them or no? This includes customs.
I currently don't have any in my collection, but I'd love a so-soft custom of my army pony. ^_^

And to answer the MOC/Nirvana question: A bunch of regular ponies is fine with me!  I'd rather hunt for the MOC/Nirvanas later down the collecting line anyway.
