-Do you collect all products or just a specific variety/generation?

G1 only.


-What sort of lines of pony products do you collect?

I have a "thing" for certain types of pony. I love so-softs and any ponies with ringlets and lots of hair to style- so Brush and Grows! I love the princess ponies too. I've started to get into Big Brothers and I'm also a Cool Breeze away from a full set of Windy Wings. I don't collect accessories, playsets, sea ponies or baby ponies (except Baby Princess Sparkle who I adore!). I'd love to collect backcards and comics.


-Is there a specific pony or ponies you have an army/armies of?

No, I don't have space, and (I might be slated for this) but I think it's not very fair on other collectors if they're looking for that certain pony that you have an army of.



-What do you find to be easy/challenging about collecting ponies?

Easy- communicating with other collectors via the arena/Facebook etc, which makes it easier to buy, and most collectors I've bought/sold from have been lovely. People are generally very honest about the condition of ponies.

Challenging- having to say no to myself. I would buy a massive amount of ponies if I didn't. Having to be sensible with money. Getting obsessive about collecting too- I tend to go through phases where I buy and sell more ponies than usual. It's also quite a lonely hobby, despite the online communication. I'm still aware that friends and family think it's a bit weird to collect ponies. Space to display them.


-What tips would you offer people starting their pony collections?[/b]

I think I'd agree with what others have said about setting limits on which ponies you will buy, and budgeting for them too. I like what Taffetta said about not getting caught up in the hype for certain ponies, like Mimic and Rapunzel. My favourite ponies in my collection are the ones I love to look at most- for me that's the Raincurl ponies and my So-softs. I think also, allowing yourself not to feel like you have to complete a set of ponies. When buying from abroad expect to pay customs fees! Leave enough money in your budget for this.


Also, if you collect things other than MLP, feel free to talk about those too!

Angels, fairies, unicorns, pegasus, fantasy art.

Anyone know why the white ponies seem to get more age marks? I'm thinking Gingerbread, Chief, BNG Bouquet. But then again I don't see many Princess Tiffanys with age marks! I'm thinking maybe it's the type of plastic used?

Wow, that's amazing! I feel your joy! 

If you end ebay sales early with no bids on them, does this affect your status/ratings? Are you still charged listing fees? Grateful for any info! Thanks.

That's brilliant- I hope it goes really well!

That's so cool! Which drama school are you going to?
