Pony Corral / Re: POTD 1/23/2020 Night Star
« on: April 28, 2020, 06:58:42 AM »
Have MOC :D I wanted her because she was one of the prizes given away in the French magazines. The tail doesn’t bother me like it does for other folks— it’s those evil-looking eyes that make me appreciate the changing mane and tail pony molds a little less.

Fun fact! It’s possible that Night Star inspired the original design of the changing mane and tail ponies’ mane clip-ons since her file card in the magazine depicted her with the star on her head and mentioned her wearing a magic star in her hair that would bring her good dreams :)

Have :) both the mm version and this one. She was one of my favs from the French magazines. I especially loved the illustrations of her in her skirt and adorable pigtails. I recently tried to imitate the look. Might come back to edit this post with a photo if ever I figure out how to post them.

Fun fact! She was the first pony I order on eBay ever when I decided to start up my G2 collecting again  :biggrin:

Have :) Never appreciated her much as a kid. I bought her last year in an eBay auction with all her silly accessories and I have to say my opinion of her has changed quite a bit.

Have :) Even though she was my least favorite winged unicorn from the G2 line at the time, she was a gift from my grandmother so I treasure her dearly. I managed to keep her beautiful green wings over the years (even though I’ve had to re-glue one side when it snapped in storage.)
Her vibrant red and gold mane makes me think of fire :D She made me think of a pony version of Sailor Mars  :P

Pony Corral / Re: POTD 3/30/2020 Muse
« on: April 28, 2020, 06:35:02 AM »
Have :) Would do anything to have one who still plays music though. When I was a kid my grandmother gifted both my sister and me a musician pony. I got Melody, and my sister got Muse. I remember being jealous of the magenta colored magnet brush that came with Muse so we ended up trading brushes. ᖍ(ツ)ᖌ  Years later I found Melody with the magenta magnet brush and realized something was off. Fortunately, we’d somehow kept Melody’s aqua magnet brush as well. Unfortunately, Muse was lost to the ages until I bought her again on Etsy.

Pony Corral / Re: POTD 4/2/2020 Precious
« on: April 28, 2020, 06:31:18 AM »
Have :) I’ve always wanted to get my hands in her accessories— especially the cute shower cap  ^.^ She’s one of the ponies for whom I believe the accessories make the pony. Otherwise she’s very similar to the Ivy and Blue Pearl color schemes.

I have a version of her that came eye-gemless (in fact someone tried to replace the gems with glitter glue :o) from a lot. Her hair’s frizzy and I don’t have any of her accessories. Honestly, I prefer Medecin’s pose more.

Pony Corral / Re: POTD 4/17/2020 Honey
« on: April 28, 2020, 06:26:51 AM »
When I was a kid, my sister and I went to a toy store in France where we picked out ponies. I believe I picked out Bubbles while she picked Honey. Over time she lost honey, but I managed to pick her up in an eBay auction :D and I managed to snag her bunny costume in another. Now I’m just missing her cute pink shoes and comb.

Pony Corral / Re: POTD 4/23/2020 Princess Golden Dream
« on: April 28, 2020, 06:22:26 AM »
Have :) I’d love to get my hands on one that still talks, though.

She’s not one of my favorite color-schemes— When it comes to yellow ponies, I much prefer Golden Light, Golden Glow II, or Her Majesty Pearl.

Hi, nice to greet you

Welcome, however I've been absent here for over 9 years! This is my first post in 9 years!

I had a French penpal in High School. I'm old enough to remember the pre cell phone era and school without internet. Yes I remember walkmans and  VCR's.
It is sad about your grandparents, but wonderful you are collecting with them in mind😊

Wow, I’m honored you decided to return and post on my thread  ^.^

Thank you. I miss my mami and papi every day. Even though I saw them maybe twice a year they were such a large part of my life. I think of France, and I still see their house in my mind.  But starting up my collecting of G2s again has helped. I treasure the ponies that they got me. <3

Introductions / Tardy to the party-- Hi there!
« on: April 24, 2020, 01:00:00 PM »
:rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow:Greetings!  :rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow:

I’m suuuuuuper late to the introduction because I only just found out my registration was accepted (it got lost in my email)  >_<
my bad.  ^^;

Anywhoo, I'm Skandydandy at MLPTP and fairly new to both sites.

                    How old are you? Hmmm I'm old enough to have owned a Walkman and a VCR, but young enough that I still haven't quite found my footing yet.  ;)
 
                    Where do you live? State, Country? PA, USA.

What made you want to collect ponies?

         My history with MLP is actually closely tied to my French family. My first real introduction to MLP was through the G2 magazines in the early 2000s.

They were my one constant comfort when I traveled to Europe to visit my grandparents, and they actually helped me learn French as a child. My other resources, apart from my Family and French television programs, were the Astérix, Les Schtroumphs, and Tintin comic books.

But I loved the G2 magazines the most and remember always wanting the toys of the ponies on the back cards of those magazines xD

Unfortunately, that was around the time G2 was fading out, and they weren’t quite easily found in the areas I stayed at in France.

Equally as unfortunate, once I returned to the USA, the G2 line seemed almost non-existent.

As a result, I was already obsessed with drawing and collecting MLP when G3 began, and I figured I could collect the G3 “American ponies” as I coined them back then.

I do have a substantial collection of most of the start of G3 (ponies, DVDs, coloring books, how to draw books, play sets, etc.) up until a little after the unicorns came out, when I started to lose interest in playing with them.

But I’ve always longed to complete my G2 collection, and I started seriously doing so last year. The G2 were my first ponies and are near and dear to my heart. After losing my French grandparents last year to cancer, my collecting has partly become a tribute to that part of my childhood.

I’m always browsing Ebay, etsy, and other places for any of the G2 ponies or magazines I’m missing :) Please let me know if you are aware of other great G2 resources.


Which generations of ponies do you collect? G1, G2, G3 or G4?

As for the other generations, I own about a 100 G3s (recently cleaned and groomed everyone and packed them into storage), 2 G1s (my only attachment to G1 is through the French cartoons that aired on VHS and DVD during the G2 era). I’ve also watched the G4 series to completion but currently don’t have any collecting interest in that generation.

Thanks for reading!

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, picking up a few G2 restoration tips, buying more g2s, and just spreading the pony love.
