Hello! I'm glad to be a part of the coummunity and meet you all! I go by Itcheee (or Itch) and just turned 21. I am from Minnesota and am a long time collector and fan of MLP, and proud to be called a Brony(I am a girl but prefer the term Brony instead of Pegasister :S )
My first My little Pony items were from the G2 US American set. One Ivy and two Sundance toys and TONS of searching for Lightheart I started to love MLP. I had lots of MLP-like and fakies and a few G2s. I also loved my MLP G2 game for the PC, ironicly my first "animated" pony experiance latter getting G1/G3 videos much later on.
I got my first G1 at a garadge sale and a clothing set (still can't beleive I opened it but glad I did). She was a pink Unicorn with dark pink hair. I hope to find out what pone she is when I get my pre-G4 collection sent to me from family. Years later I was given a large poseable figure of Lightheart(ironicly, a bigger better version of the McPony I wanted so badly), and soon after started collecting G3 thanks to - again, Mcdonalds sets (2005 set, hope to fnish both sets someday)
For years I looked through old G1-based collector sites and think I would like to start collecting G1. The charm of G1 and soft sweet ponies got me right off the bat. Possibly a bit of G2 and G3 aswell. G3 is my least favorite but I like it more then I give credit
Present day, I didn't start off as a big fan of Friendship is Magic. Then came the Build-A-Bear ponies around the time Fluttershy came out and they caught my eye. Some Netflix time and multiple trips to Build-A-Bear later and I have started a FiM collection.
So what excactly do I collect?
I love plush. Everything else I collect plush are my main focus aswell. I collect all plush except G3 minus except for Minty and possibly talking newborns. G1 and G4 are my main plush focus.
Various items of G 1,2 and a little bit of 3/35, LOTS of FiM :>
Ponies in particular:
I will be collecting my pink unicorn G1 and any versions of her in later generations
Ivy, Lightheart and Sundance - my special G2 ponies
Minty - my favorite from G3 and was glad she got her own movie <3
Fluttershy
Twilight Sparkle
Pony Hooves/Ditzy Doo/Muffins/Bubbles (you get the idea xD)
Spike <3
Luna/Nightmare Moon
The entire Apple Family
and my favorite...Applejack!
I also have a soft spot for Earth ponies in general
Besides collecting and just watching FiM I have started watching the cartoons G1 to present and really loving the charm of G1 in cartoon form ^_^ I also have started to read the FiM comics and had a couple G1 kiddie books growing up.
If anyone would like I can post pictures of my collection (only have G4's with me currently) here if allowed. Today I was lucky enough to find an Arura
Pony plush and get a Metalic Pinkie Pie dogtag from the blind bags :>
So very happy to be a member, and thanks for reading
