Sigs & Site Support / having some trouble with the site
« on: February 01, 2021, 03:50:53 PM »
So I just tried voting on a poll and got this message:

Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.

Then I tried going to subforums by clicking the link in the navigation bar, and it said "file not found" on all of them, yet clicking the  links on the forum homepage worked.

Pony Corral / Re: Can I Fix Lily Lightly?
« on: January 27, 2021, 03:07:05 PM »
I don't have any experience with her, but I'm well versed in LED lighting. If it's not a wire then the LED has burned out (they do burn out just like light bulbs). No matter what it will likely require some soldering to fix the wire/put a new LED in. Good news is LEDs are cheap now (especially on Ebay). If you have to get a replacement make sure to get one that has a clear lens (instead of "diffused") as they're brighter, and of course the same size and type (can't tell what type it is from the picture) .

Customs / Lonewolf's customs: Back from a hiatus (updated 6-13-21)

Made my first brushable custom in IDK how long. This time Strawberry Sunrise:

She's the strawberry loving pony that infuriated Applejack with her opinion about apples in the episode "Honest Apple".
She's grown on me, and when that happens with a character I have to make a custom of them.






Apples are disgusting.

I'd like to know this also! I have a Pinkie Pie and Applejack with cut hair and decayed confetti who would make interesting takes on Baby Splish and Baby Splosh, with the animals floating inside! Unfortunately, there are no green Water Cuties, so a full trio with Baby Splash in the same style isn't possible. Oh well!

Rarity is clear so you could somehow paint her green if you can find clear paints or you could make the water green somehow.

Model Masters makes a transparent green gloss paint.  You could use that.  Or you could try the paints they use for suncatchers.

Model Master may attack the plastic since it's solvent based, unless you get their acrylic stuff.

Pony Corral / Childhood pony photos
« on: December 13, 2020, 06:41:50 AM »
There was a thread for this, but it was locked due to inactivity. Decided to make one because I found a photo (Kodak Instamatic from 1983-1984. Before Polaroid sued them) that showed my first two G1's that started it all (Bubbles and Glory) along with my soon to expand plushie collection:

Yes that came with Starlite. :redface: Later gave it to my little niece around 1989.

It's nice to glance to my left and see both of them as I type this. Besides my G1's, I still have all of the plushies I had in the 80's too (albeit most not in good condition, especially the yellow Mighty Star unicorn, which was my #1 favorite. There's one on Ebay in like new condition I wouldn't mind getting, but they want $60 for it plus $50 shipping). Will see if I can find other pic's that show the other G1's I had back then.

Now let's see yours.

Pony Corral / Re: Why Doesn%u2019t Vinyl Scratch talk? (Theory)
« on: December 07, 2020, 12:25:18 AM »
I think I recall seeing some early toy concept design (or something??) that called her "Bon Bon" so I'm wondering if it was just that they couldn't trademark that, or something.

I dislike DJ Pon-3 since it really only works in writing. Still not sure how you're meant to actually pronounce it o_O "DJ Pon-three" sounds weird, and "DJ Pony" just... yeah, like Zapper said, DJ Human. :P It's just silly. I know they had that explanation w/ Bon where they said both names were right, I wish they'd done that with DJ too x) normally I go with the official toy name over fan nicknames, but DJ.. I just can't...

It's just supposed to be "pony" or "pone", with the 3 in place of the E just to make the name look cool (a similar thing was done by Playstation with their game Driver 3. The logo says "Driv3r").

Maybe they just didn't bother finding a voice actress for her?

At one point they asked Jessi Nowacking (the long standing fandom voice for Vinyl) if she (now he) wanted to, but declined as she wouldn't be able to voice Vinyl on  fandom projects anymore.

Pony Corral / Re: 20 questions for collectors!
« on: November 19, 2020, 03:19:31 PM »
1. What got you into collecting MLP?
  Not really sure other than liking horses and unicorns as a kid. I probably saw a commercial and decided I wanted them. Seniority date Christmas 1983. Had 8 brushables and a plushie (still have them) by the end of the 80's. Interest faded in the 90's and early 2000's. Got into them again with G3 in 2005 along with making customs. Ignored G3.5 and got into G4 at the beginning of 2011.

2. Did you like MLP as a child?
 The reason I'm in the fandom.

3. What generations do you collect?
1,3, and 4 (have a few examples of G2, G3.5, and what I call G4.25. No Pony Life yet)

4. Who is your favorite pony?
G1: Glory, G3: July Larkspur, G4: Split between Luna and Fluttershy

5. Who was your first pony?
Bubbles and Glory (both obtained for Christmas 1983)

6. Who was the last pony you got?
Custom G4 plushie of Pacific Glow

7. What is your favorite generation?
G4

8. What is your favorite piece of media? (Any of the shows, comics, back cards, etc)
MLP: FiM (show and comics)

9. What is your favorite pose?
G1 Glory pose

10. Do you own any customs / have you made one?
Have made around 117 customs (G1,3,4, and 1 fakie), plus purchased 10 (G1 BB, 4 G4 brushables with sculpted mane, and 5 G4 plushies)

11. Who is your biggest pony? Smallest?
Biggest is the Pacific Glow plushie (slightly taller than a BaB one). Smallest are a couple of those tiny G4's with suction cups on the bottom

12. How many ponies do you have in your collection?
several hundred. G4 dominates. Here's a count from April 25th 2019:

G1:     119 incl. 39 customs
G2:     2
G3:     88   incl. 12 customs
G3.5:  3
G4 (brushable, blind bag, plushie, Funko, bootleg, & other) - 473 (incl. 257 BB size), not counting 3 dozen or more doubles (most are brushables in reserve for customs and spare BB's)
G4 custom (incl 3 plushies of people's OC's and 3 purchased customs): 69
G4.5:   2
Fakie:  4 (incl. 1 custom)
Equestria Girls:  4

Total: 764
Probably closer to 800 with the extra G4 BB's and brushables
 I'd say another dozen or so added since then including 2 custom plushies and another custom.

13. How is your collection displayed?
On shelves and the top of my computer desk

14. What is your least favorite pose?
Don't have a least favorite

15. What is your dream collection like?

19. What flaw(s) can you not stand?
Discolored heads on G4's

Cadance and Sunset are getting toys:

Cadie doesn't look right though without 3 color mane (same with Sunset missing her yellow streaks).
Hopefully Glimmy will get one too, and then all 3 of them appear in the show.

Until now the only Snowdrop I knew was the G4 OC. How rare is this one?

« on: October 20, 2020, 05:59:23 AM »
Wonder why they didn't have the skull open up to reveal the brain? (I  imagine Pinkie's would be a pile of frosting and confetti).

I remembered I had a couple pic's of my Luna (and Nightmare Moon) collection I took a couple years ago (the aircraft and trucks are a long story XD):

This photo shows my latest items added after I took the pic'. The anodized aluminum coffee mug is by MyLittleTies. The little keychain is the poster image (Sibsy didn't make it, I just had her autograph it).

super jealous of all your Luna customs!
Also- please explain the the Luna Trucking company’

In 2013 I was leaving work, and there was a semi getting ready to back into the dock that said "Luna Trucking" (just a plain white truck). Being a semi and Luna fan I had no choice but to make a 1/32 scale custom: https://www.deviantart.com/lonewolf3878/art/Luna-Trucking-Peterbilt-Model-371888012
 At first it was plain, but then I upgraded it with LED lights: https://www.deviantart.com/lonewolf3878/art/Luna-Trucking-Semi-Model-Update-Now-with-lights-495671233
 Had Tabitha autograph it at the 2016 Midwest Brony Fest, who tweeted a pic' of it.
 The other one is my radio control "plushie transport" for conventions: https://www.deviantart.com/lonewolf3878/art/Luna-Trucking-Semi-R-C-1-14-Scale-673613555
 Picked it up used at a garage sale a few years before and modified it. It has a small Funko Luna in the cab. That one got tweeted by Elley Ray (Mistmane  VA) at the 2019 HarmonyCon:  https://twitter.com/Elley_Ray/status/1094037472584105985

I also made an HO scale version to go with my Equestria model train set, and somewhere out there this one is floating around (also with Tabitha's signature): https://www.deviantart.com/lonewolf3878/art/Luna-Trucking-Semi-HO-scale-610201885 I made it for the MWBF 2016 charity auction.
