1. What got you into collecting MLP?
Finding three G1s at an antique mall! I thought they were so cute, and I knew they existed from liking MLP as a kid but I had never seen them in person (...and I remember thinking they were ugly as a kid, oh how things change xD) I ID'd them who knows how, stumbled upon the Arena and the Preservation Project, and haven't looked back since.

2. Did you like MLP as a child?
Yes! Very much so.

3. What generations do you collect?
Only G1

4. Who is your favorite pony?
Starshine/Sternenglanz (it's an even tie between versions, honestly). The rest of the German rainbows, Blueberry Baskets, Moonstone, and a few others are very special to me as well.

5. Who was your first pony?
No idea who was my first when I was a kid, and they've all been lost to time anyways, haha. My first G1s were DJ, Magic Star, and blue Baby Ember though

6. Who was the last pony you got?
Oh goodness, I don't actually remember! I want to say Stranger Things Applejack? Or 35th anniversary Starshine? I haven't bought a pony in a long time.

7. What is your favorite generation?
G1, all the way!

8. What is your favorite piece of media? (Any of the shows, comics, back cards, etc)
I'm going to have to go with backcards. I do love the G1 animated stuffs, but they just aren't my favorite. The fact file is probably up there too.

9. What is your favorite pose?
Maybe Bowtie's pose? It really depends on the day, haha.

10. Do you own any customs / have you made one?
I don't own any, actually! I made a McDonald's G4 Blueberry Baskets but idk if she really counts. Plus I have no idea where she went or if she's even in my house anymore.

11. Who is your biggest pony? Smallest?
Biggest is definitely my pink MPP. She's huge! To me at least. Smallest? I think it might be a Firefly on top of a stamp cap/top. She is pretty small.

12. How many ponies do you have in your collection?
MLPMerch says 79 in my checklist... with doubles and a few I haven't checked off there yet I'd say it's around 85 or a little lower.

13. How is your collection displayed?
On top of my dresser in my closet Nice and easy to shut the door and seal them away from people, haha. I made some foam core risers back in March too.

14. What is your least favorite pose?
Maybe Milky Way's? It's the only one that actually stops me from liking a pony.

15. What is your dream collection like?
Lots of minty, minty G1s with perfect factory curls and perfect blush. Lots of backcards, pamphlets, and brochures too...

16. What was your biggest pony purchase (in terms of how many items)?
I got a lot off of Craigslist with over 100 ponies! Plus playsets! It was A LOT.

17. What is your favorite part about collecting?
The community, definitely, but also working on my collection! Restoring, cleaning, styling, arranging displays...

18. What is your favorite pony website?
Other than this one... probably the Wiki. Despite it's flaws, it is very comprehensive. And Taf's site!

19. What flaw(s) can you not stand?
I've gotten more picky over the years. Head/body mismatch, large stains and age spots, large haircuts, missing chunks or chewed bits, regrind, rust stains, and I haven't come across mold yet and I would like that to remain that way!

20. How complete is your collection?
In terms of what's on my wishlist, about half I think? I'm not actively buying though, and I'm satisfied with what I have, so it's 'complete' for now

Figured we haven’t had something like this in a while

Hi Tara! You might have better luck asking in customs

-Finding G1s that seem to have been dunked in buckets of ink, sharpie, and highlighter ink.
-Curled hair that does not stay curled.
-Poses that are wobbly/don't stand perfectly still.

 

Oof, all of these too  Whatever I try, my Pina Colada does not want to stand.

Tried a pen between the front and back legs?
That usually works for me when they want to topple.

That and boiling water. I should probably try leaving her for longer, though.
