Pony Corral / Re: 20 questions for collectors!
« on: November 07, 2020, 04:17:03 PM »
1. What got you into collecting MLP?
I had mlp as a kid (G1). When I had my own children, my childhood herd came back out of storage... Downhill from there!
2. Did you like MLP as a child?
They were my favourite toy.
3. What generations do you collect?
I was a G1 traditionalist. But then the G3 bug bit me. And I now confess to owing a few G4.... BUT I am still a G1 girl at heart.
4. Who is your favorite pony?
That's too hard to answer...
5. Who was your first pony?
Bow Tie
6. Who was the last pony you got?
Well, I'm hoping a Birthstone G3 will arrive soon...
7. What is your favorite generation?
G1
8. What is your favorite piece of media? (Any of the shows, comics, back cards, etc)
I like pamphlets and back cards.
9. What is your favorite pose?
That's another tricky one. I do love the shy pose and walking pose.
10. Do you own any customs / have you made one?
Generally not a big fan of customs and re-hairs. But I do have two delightful Isabella Klein customs which are pretty special in my collection.
11. Who is your biggest pony? Smallest?
My 'My Pretty Pony'. I love that hulky piece of plastic! And my petites and charms, of course!
12. How many ponies do you have in your collection?
Geez... if I count up all the ponies, G1 plush, petites, charms and blind bags, it's gone over 1000 now...
13. How is your collection displayed?
Everything is in storage....
14. What is your least favorite pose?
Bunnyhop pose? And pretty much every beddy bye eye pose. As if their eyes weren't bad enough!
15. What is your dream collection like?
A complete US and Euro release G1 collection. Just the ponies. I'd worry about accessories, backcards and ponywear later!
16. What was your biggest pony purchase (in terms of how many items)?
I got a couple of great lots off ebay back in the day. Might have had around 50-70 G1s in one lot. That was a good long while ago though, several years back.
17. What is your favorite part about collecting?
Scoring a great buy now. Haven't had that thrill in forever
18. What is your favorite pony website?
The Arena has always my forum home, although my activeness has dropped along with my collecting. I use two or three reference sites with regularity - prob mylittlewiki the most.
19. What flaw(s) can you not stand?
Haircuts. And I also dislike bad head/body mismatches and paint loss.
20. How complete is your collection?
I'd say 2/3 of the way to my dream goal. But with so many ponies out of reach for me financially, the grinding halt for me with int. shipping and the competitiveness in my country it's unlikely that will ever happen.
