Hello everyone!
My username, RareWishes, is based on my old nickname "Rare", so feel free to refer to me by either handle! No problem with RW, either!
My friend inspired me to watch the FiM show, and I fell in love with the ponies' designs. I had also picked up on the budding interest in the show in terms of sociology and subcultures, and I have seen some articles that reflect the show's important place in today's world of entertainment (such things make me geek out!).
My friend had a small collection of older ponies when she was a child, but I think the both of us are most enthralled with the current iteration of My Little Pony (all due respect to those veteran collectors who have been following the franchise for a while now!). She's a more active collector than I am. Being on a budget has forced me to narrow my focus on my favorites, and at the moment I only have the Blind Blag Rainbow Dash from the first series! I am extremely intent on somehow securing a Sky Wishes brushable, which would be difficult for an American such as myself. In addition, I would jump at the chance for a loose Vinyl Scratch or Octavia brushable.
That's all I have for now! Thank you very much if you took time to read this for the sake of a new member!
