All of these ponies I have gotten locally. Yard sales, kijiji, and Value Village - over the past 6 months. I figured now is as good a time to gather them all together and take pictures. Sadly, many of them would qualify as custom bait, but they are for my collection. I will do my best to pretty them up, maybe over the next few months. :) Only a few are duplicates, ponies I already had in my collection.
Also, some of them (not pictured) were given to my children, including G1s. ^.^

Moondancer is a duplicate. Galaxy is filthy, but I think I can clean her up. Party Time (did I get her name right?) has regrind. Sweet Stuff is in good shape. Locket has uber-frizzy hair and her twinkle eyes are pushed in. :( I wonder if that's easy to fix? Parasol and Dancing Butterflies are duplicates.

These are pretty standard ponies to find in an average collection, but in my case, only Cotton Candy is a duplicate. The rest are new to me. :cheer: I forgot to make sure the birthflowers' symbols were showing, but it's Water Lilly and Cosmos. Cosmos was horribly filthy but I was able to scrub her up some months ago.

Primrose likes to lean, Nightglider is a duplicate with a bit of wear on her ear, Shorelines is sunny! :sunny: Woot! Lemon Treats is a pony I wanted for a long time, Wig Wam too. BOTH have uber frizzy hair and hopefully I can get that fixed up one of these days. Bunny Hop is in pretty good shape, actually, except a little forelock trim. Her hair, despite the pic, is pretty smooth and nice.

These would be my first beddy bye eye ponies! :shocked: They actually aren't as scary in person as they always seem to be in pictures. Sadly two of them have eye rust. My non BBE Tiddly Winks is missing a tail, but I think she's still cute. :) Pinwheel is also in fairly decent shape. The SHS was also very filthy and I scrubbed her brains out. The rainbow baby's head doesn't match the body. I love pearly Glory though. Ack! I just realized I didn't get a picture of Sparkler! She's going to be pearly Glory's mom, since they almost seem a perfect match color wise. Sparkler has a bit of marker on her side though. She's probably feeling all neglected that I forgot a pic of her.

Here are some G3s. I never had breezies before. Kimono is new (and has ratty hair XD ). I used to have Wish-a-Whirl but I traded her to Annie Msson for a lovely commission drawing. But I kind of missed her. So it's nice to have a new one. Peach is new. Daisy Jo, duplicate. Heather Winds, duplicate. That flower one on the left, new. Baby Flower Flash, duplicate.

These are the only new ponies I bought from the store, my only two G4s at this point. Honeybuzz and Lily. :D Lily I bought just so I could say "I have one G4 pony". Honey I bought because her colors are awesome. Remind me a little of Brights Brightly.
And now for some non-pony brags, from the Value Village.

I flipped when I saw that Nala and grabbed her right then and there. I was out on one of my walks, too. It takes me an hour to walk to VV, and so I was also hauling her home for an hour. XD Gabumon is cute and I couldn't pass up a toy Scrooge McDuck.
By the way, my ol' Simba - bought new as a graduation gift back in 1995 - approves highly of Nala. See for yourself!

So, these are my new acquisitions and I am pleased by them all. Maybe in the future, as I'm doing some major salon work on these ponies, I'll do some before/after pics, hm? :biggrin:

Wow what a haul! All locally too - that is so neat :D I want to come live near you, I rarely find G1's (or any ponies really) here at all.
That nala plushie too is just gorgeous! I would have totally hauled her home for an hour too ^^ so worth it. Congrats on everything!
-
Soooo many ponies (insert drool here :dribble: ), you've been busy SDS! Thank you for sharing. ^.^
(PS-My baby rainbow pony has the same head/body mismatch.)
-
Wow! Those are some great finds! That's a cool Nala too, and I think it's very sweet that you gave some to your kids. May I ask which ones those were? A while ago, my little cousin was visiting and we ended up playing ponies together. I just love seeing modern-day kids play with G1s. (She was particularly impressed with my So Softs and Sea Ponies!)

They have a Parasol, Dancing Butterflies, Firefly, and I kind of forget who else. The ponies are buried in their rooms. :P Some of those duplicates above will go to them too. Like Cotton Candy and Moondancer. My older boy was especially fascinated that the baby ponies eyes closed when he put them down on their sides. :inlove: So maybe I'll give him the non-rusty one.
They also have quite a collection of G3s, McD G3s and a couple of G4s each, fakies too. One of them showed me what I assumed was a fakie and upon closer inspection I realized it looked like a G2. With a hard plastic tail, so maybe it's a McD's G2. And yes, two of my three kids are boys and they like ponies too. ^.^ Almost as much as they love Mario toys. ^^;

Great finds! Love your Simba and Nala as well!!
-
Wow, you've picked up so many awesome ponies, congrats!!!!! :)
-
Nice scores! That Night Glider looks like she will clean up very nicely! :)
-
That's a lot of new ponies, Stomper. I love the soft toy lions at the bottom :cheer:
-
You lucky duck! Congrats!
-
Wow! Amazing finds and a Lemon Treats too!!

Oh you have been a busy beaver, congrats on building the herd up.
