G1- Blueberry Baskets and Peachy. Both pretty dirty, and Blueberry Baskets coat isn't very blue. Couldn't remember which of those Loyal Subjects G1's I already had, so I now have two Mintys, Glory and Sundance. I only recognize Minty and Rainbow Dash out of those G3's, I'll ID them later. Also some G4 blindbags, but those were sold at retail price. $10 a bag, and with that many bags, it's not worth it to me at the moment.

Found these gems at a Dollar Tree near Knoxville TN. The brushables come in trixie and Twilight flavors. Didn't buy any myself though.

found a couple dozen G3's a a thrift store once. Been buying a few G1's at another antique mall whenever i'm in town, nothing that hard to find though.

I had a G3 valenshy with hair that bad. The conditioner/flat iron treatment barely helped. Still not smooth all the way, though I've yet to try fabric softener though

That Applejack plush... one of those things you shouldn't buy, but won't regret if won

Price reduced on the blindbag sets again, added some spare G1s and G3s
Added Party Time and Peachy, some extras I found at an antique mall and cleaned up.

Yeah I check out that antique mall every month or two. Usually a couple new things, several common toys I already have one of, and one or two hopeless cases. Like a Lickety Split whose grilled or sunburnt one on side. Which is kinda amusing, an ice cream themed pony comes in two flavors at once.
So how sought after is Baby Stockings? Only major concern is the rust, gonna have to remove her head to clean her out

Caved in and bought another handful of ponies. Most of the G1's are in rough shape, that so soft has a chewed off hoof and needs a good scrubbing. And that red-haired baby I got has a case of rust. Everypony else is just filthy, some seem to have plasticizer issues. Until I get around to cleaning them, I've a fairly large backlog of pony toys that need cleaning, they went into quarantine. Also got a G1 MLP carrying case, in reasonable condition. Bit of TLC is all it really needs. Handful of assorted later gen toys. Saw this Blossom plush in great condition at that mall. Didn't pick it up though. Also, anyone have any idea what this bird-thing is? Made by Hasbro in the late 80's

I'm guessing it's gonna get crowded. Trotcon's the closest con to the east coast that's been around for a while. There's a newer con in Maryland or Jersey that started a year or two ago.

Smaller cons are a lot more intimate. Feels more like a family gathering rather than a clustered hivemind. Bronycon this year was a crowded mess... Wonder what Trotcon's gonna be like, the con venue hotel's sold out, as is the reserve hotel block.

No prob, was a lot of fun.
Only me and one other were bidding on those G3's. I stuck with it, I've got plenty of room to display them. I actually like older MLP toys, more character variety and they're more equine-shaped than their G4 relatives.
There was a G3 Cheerilee in the auction, but it was in a lot with other G4 stuff for whatever reason, so I passed on it.

First time at this con. Had some vacation time to spare, and Ciderfest was the only con left this year. That and I've got a cousin in Milwaukee who I haven't seen in years. $200 for a round trip flight, can't beat that. Only drawback was the way home, 6ish hours of waiting in MKE and Atlanta airports. Least the flight back to Nashville arrived at the same time it left. Roommates were cool, hung out a few times before/during the con itself. VIPs: Met Big Jim and Claire. Jim asked me what I thought of G4's finale, I said it was rough and I couldn't watch it anymore without weeping. Loot: Various G4 blindbags Some G3 spiderpones Con-themed glassware and a tiny glass boot. Also got a bottle of cider, was a collab between the Cider House of Wisconsin and PVCF. Gonna share it with friends this weekend. PaperPony's no longer going to cons due to a new job situation. Had to grab an AJ shadowbox. Con VIP poster signed by a few guests. Sunni Westbrook's PVCF badge. She and Claire tossed theirs at the audience during closing ceremonies, me and two others grabbed Sunni's at the same time. They let me have it, thankfully. <3 Andy Price's sense of humor. Gave him the prompt "Pineapplejack" for a sketch. Obligatory Fallout Equestria loot. Artbooks, a Littlepip scarf, a Wandering Sunrise plush, and Dead Tree v2. Fun fact, Fiaura got that novel declared a legal parody by the state of Virginia. Sent in the legal paperwork while Hasbro was busy with S9, and they didn't notice until it was too late. Think she said something about Dead Tree being in the Library of Congress. Plushies of course. Muffins, MLP MSP and PVCF mascots. Got a thing for collecting con mascot plushies even though I have no room for them. Food: Peanut butter/bacon burger from AJ Bombers. Surprisingly good, I tend to go for exotic and unique flavors, this didn't disappoint. And those fried cheese curds were amazing! AJ Bombers is a great restaurant. They have these zeppelins on rails that drop a payload of peanuts into bowls. Build a Breakfast burrito. PVCF's moving to a new venue next year, only a few blocks from here. Bavarian wurst platter at Maders. And finally a pic of the ballroom at the Hilton, where PVCF will be held next year. Almost too fancy for a pony con, there was talk about renaming the con Canterlot Ciderfest. Overall had a 11/10 experience at PVCF, gonna try to go again next year.

I'd like to see a modern pony toy that actually looks like a pony. G1-G3 are great in that regard, G4 is decent. Anything else? Not so much. Might get Potion Nova and AJ at the least.

Got a flat iron, seemed a lot more effective than a curling iron. Wasn't a perfect job, but a lot smoother than before. The tail end of Valenshy's tail is a lost cause, couldn't get that smooth no matter how many times I ran it through the iron. Kept it greased up with conditioner/water. Once dry, both G1 AJ's and Valenshys tail ended up kinda bushy. Any way to prevent that? This is the best I can do with the worst of frizz, though I was hoping to get the hair as smooth as it was new.
