Let me tell you a little story first...
I grew up with no other boys my age in our street for the first years (lived there since i was 5) so i played with the girls in our street.
That's how i came to play with MLP as a little boy. (Dont know if i'd played with ponies if there where living more boys my age in our street)
I had applejack, bubbles, starlight/shine and baby amber (got her from sending in those horseshoe points)
I remember getting applejack, still have a faint snapshot memory of her inside her bubble/package and ofcourse her color, a special kind of orange.
I also remember baby amber coming in a little white box with just a label on it the way they also used to send mail away star wars figures etc in the 80s.
Now im not a brony, but i am into nonstalgica very much so as a grown man i saw a pic of the first 6 ponies displayed in rainbow order which inspired me to get those, but made an agreement with my wife to just get six ponies an leave it at that.
Started with Italians, switched to CC HK ones, now im into FF ponies and will leave it at that.
I have 3 FF ponies right now, but i also had 4 CC ponies left, so i gave my CC Snuzzle to our 3 year old daughter, she absolutly loves it!
She also has my wife's kiss curl from her childhood so now she has 2 g1 ponies.
Funny thing is that every now and then she gets her Snuzzle and takes me to my home office where my FF Snuzzle is displayed just to see that she has the same one as her dad.
New nonstalgic memories in the making....

On 14/12/15 i orderd a FF snuzzle on Etsi. She was send to me i believe the next day, everything was fine. Now im used to pray for God's guidance over packages, but this time it became a test of my faith... Snuzzle had to travel from the US to the Netherlands were i live, everything went fine, she arrived in Germany pretty fast, so i expected her to arrive in the Netherlands not long after that. BUT she traveled from Germany to SAUDI ARABIA!!!!! Wow! Little Snuzzle even cleared costums over there! Then there was a 10 day silence...then she arrived at a post office over there in Saudi Arabia! Again...silence...weeks of silence....untill last week... I was fed up with waiting, so i asked God what to do....He told me to be patient. And now it comes....a day or so later she came back on the USPS tracking system! She arrived in NJ...good old USA!!! And now....she is here:D visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginNow THAT'S the power of prayer!our Father in Heaven is faithfull even in these little things!

I got a Snugglebumms baby Warmly for only €2,99 (ex shipping €6,95) Her hair was a little loose, but when washing the figure almost all of it came loose. It took it all of, washed it again, and put it back on with some transparent glue. It took me a while to get the hair back on and make it all fluffy again, but the result came out pretty good i must say! I need to get some accetone to get the last spots of that didnt came of with magic eraser.

Are there any Snugglebumms collectors here?
Im thinking of getting some of these nonstalgic figures, but i dont know anything about condition etc.
When it comes to MLP i came to know what i have to look for, and know how to fix certain flaws, but Snugglebums are totaly new to me.
For instance, does anyone have any tricks to fix snugglebum hair when its all messy, or how to fix discoloration in hair lines etc?

As a collector of just one set of original ponies i keep updating, started with Italian 4 stamped , went from there to HK concave and now arrived at Original FF (and think i keep it there:P) After some browsing i found a FF butterscotch in good display condition, symbol on display side looks sharp, other side a little less sharp, her hair looks good, she got a little spot on her display side front leg, and a little head/body mismatch (which isn't noticeable on display). I did have to give her a de-rusting operation, and i must say she really looks great after it, oxi clean does make pony color fresher again! Now im not a very very experienced collector, so i would like to know what you guys as more experienced collectors think of her condition. The mismatch on the non display side looks less discolored in person, the picture makes it look a bit more severe. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hi,
Tonight i will be doing "mission de-rusting FF butterscotch" beibg my first tail rust operation ever.
I've been reading some tail rust tutorials, and one of them was warning NOT to let the tail soak in your oxi clean mixture cause the tail could fall apart...
My question is, how about the mane? I mean when you let your pony soak in oxi clean you have to get the head in to right?

Hi,
Is it possible/save to clean tail rust without the whole operation, in other words by just cleaning the visible rust stain on the outside?
I know i have to do the whole operation to prevent the rust from coming back, but if i can just clean the visible part for now, it would make me happy.

Hi, I just got a FF butterscotch in good condition in the mail yesterday. Now the first thing that i noticed is that she is a darker gold than my MO concave one, although my MO is not discolored or anything (she looks almost brand-new) is this normal? is FF butterscotch a different color gold/yellow? visitors can't see pics , please register or loginQuestion number 2...am i right in saying that FF butterscotch in good condition is hard to find? cause when i look on eBay etc i see very much discolored symbols, discolored bodies, age marks etc...

Hi, Last week my very first Flatfoot arrived, thanks to ClosetAvalance. We made a cool trade, my italian 4 stamped blue belle for her FF one! FF blue belle looks great! the pony is in very good condition, so a very good piece for my first 6 display! The cool thing is, ClosetAvalance had even put some candy and a donut lip balm in with the pony! And man! FF ponies are the bomb! i like the design,and the fact that these were the very first and original my little ponies! They got that real 80's toy feel which i like! So there will be more FF ponies in display in my home office for sure! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
