Hmmm, Was she one of the EU exclusive ponies? If im right I like her from that stand point but all the ponies from that 'line' if you can call it that are pretty boring too me. No Gimmicks, boring symbol etc  :|

Do you guys think they will handle it with respect? I worry there will be a lot of unnecessary focus on Bronies from a negative 'look at these cringey people' Stand point

So tiny!
I used to dabble in making miniature's with Polymer clay a few years back, but I never made anything this tiny!
I still have all my tools so perhaps I will make one one day :) But mine will be very very bad!

Off Topic / Re: The trivial complaints thread

Not a complaint but something I don't understand...
'Attic finds' I see a lot of G1 lots on Ebay listed as attic finds, I don't get it? You move into a house and low and behold theres a herd of g1's in the attic? why would they be left behind?
Why have I never found the holy grail of ponies in my attic  :|

I stick too just ponies, i'm too poor for much else xD I dont quite understand the original ribbon thing, surely a lot of craft shops sell ribbons of similar colours and thickness to the original G1 ribbons?

Replying so I can follow the thread mostly. I have a Peachy who is covered in black Sharpie on one side. I have always worked under the assumption inks like those belonging to Biro pens can be faded but Sharpie type pens cant :cry:

Oh man, Care Bears. The 90s ones look silly to me but the 80s ones were my other major collection as a kid.... and then I got lice when i was 9 and most got destroyed in the wash. I wanted UK's Proud Heart Cat when it was like $50-100 and now it's  $500. I don't need it that badly but img bummed it got so expensive.



You have no idea how much i want Proud heart cat! The reason why you always see me digging through bins in charity shops  :P The 90s ones do look silly, but i think they are charming :)

UGH!!
 Okay I need to vent and this is the place to do it. I was browsing Marketplace and found a Carebear I really wanted, its one of the environmental friends care bears and I don believe they were ever sold in the UK so I was happy to see her :) I message the seller if she was available and if he would consider posting as it was just far away enough for me to not be able to collect. He said She was available and he could post but he was coming up to my town that week to see some friends so he could drop her off, Great right?

The day arrives and I hear nothing from him so I send a message asking whether he was in Liverpool. He replied 4 hours later to say he didn't make it up but he would be happy to post, I replied saying 'Okay cool :)' and he didn't reply to this.

He clearly isn't interested enough to sell or he would have asked for my address and things, I don't even want to try message again for the care bear because I don't trust that if I sent the money it would be posted. I guess ill never get her  :cry: :cry: :cry:

If it's an original 1980s carebear then yes, they were sold in the UK. My sister collects carebears and she has (I think) all of them in at least one size version from carbooting round where we lived. For that reason I got trained in what to look for.  I found one that I gave her in the last few years at a market stall. I believe I'm right in saying that they weren't sold in all places, but the UK was one place they did appear. (If we are talking ones like Sea Friend, Forest Friend etc). The one I found at the market stall was Sea Friend in the larger size.

So you probably will have another chance in the future :) There must be others out there.
In 1991 care bears were re released under the name of care bear environmental friends, they look different to the original lot and have a nature theme, ebay only shows those ones being sold from the USA so i havealways assumed they were a US only release as they were not too popular. You are right though we did get the original gang plus some exclusives that are now worth a pretty penny :) I wont give up hope  :hope:
