-What got you to start collecting in the first place?
-I found my childhood ponies in the attic. I got them out just for memories and I wanted to know their names. I googled "My Little Pony Names" and found the MLP Arena. I thought "Hey, this is cool, I could collect them!" That's when it all started. I had always loved MLP before, but seeing there was a community out there of amazing people with the same interest really got me motivated.
-Why do you collect MLP in general?
-I am a kid at heart, a huge smile still comes over my face when I see a pony. They are my getaway from the real world and they just make me so happy. They remind me of the good-worry free times of being a kid. I am so glad I found this community and I have met so many amazing people through it.
-Does your family or friend group know about your hobby? What do they think?
-Everyone who knows me personally knows I have a room full of ponies. I haven't gotten any negativity out of anyone. Some people find it hard to understand at first, but they still support me either way.
-Did you like ponies when you were a kid?
-Yes. I grew up in the G3 age and I had 200 ponies when I was little.
-Do your ponies have sentimental value? Are there specific ones that stand out? (Probably things like childhood ones or grails etc)
-Yes, I have all my childhood ponies on a shelf by themselves and they are my pride and joys. I wouldn't sell or trade them for anything. I have 1100+ ponies total, and all but my 200+ childhood ponies are from the past 5 years of collecting.
