1. What got you into collecting MLP?
I had mlp as a kid (G1). When I had my own children, my childhood herd came back out of storage... Downhill from there!

2. Did you like MLP as a child?
They were my favourite toy.

3. What generations do you collect?
I was a G1 traditionalist. But then the G3 bug bit me. And I now confess to owing a few G4.... BUT I am still a G1 girl at heart.

4. Who is your favorite pony?
That's too hard to answer... 

5. Who was your first pony?
Bow Tie

6. Who was the last pony you got?
Well, I'm hoping a Birthstone G3 will arrive soon...

7. What is your favorite generation?
G1

8. What is your favorite piece of media? (Any of the shows, comics, back cards, etc)
I like pamphlets and back cards.

9. What is your favorite pose?
That's another tricky one. I do love the shy pose and walking pose.

10. Do you own any customs / have you made one?
Generally not a big fan of customs and re-hairs. But I do have two delightful Isabella Klein customs which are pretty special in my collection.

11. Who is your biggest pony? Smallest?
My 'My Pretty Pony'. I love that hulky piece of plastic! And my petites and charms, of course!

12. How many ponies do you have in your collection?
Geez... if I count up all the ponies, G1 plush, petites, charms and blind bags, it's gone over 1000 now...

13. How is your collection displayed?
Everything is in storage.... 

14. What is your least favorite pose?
Bunnyhop pose? And pretty much every beddy bye eye pose. As if their eyes weren't bad enough!

15. What is your dream collection like?
A complete US and Euro release G1 collection. Just the ponies. I'd worry about accessories, backcards and ponywear later!

16. What was your biggest pony purchase (in terms of how many items)?
I got a couple of great lots off ebay back in the day. Might have had around 50-70 G1s in one lot. That was a good long while ago though, several years back.

17. What is your favorite part about collecting?
Scoring a great buy now. Haven't had that thrill in forever 

18. What is your favorite pony website?
The Arena has always my forum home, although my activeness has dropped along with my collecting. I use two or three reference sites with regularity - prob mylittlewiki the most.

19. What flaw(s) can you not stand?
Haircuts. And I also dislike bad head/body mismatches and paint loss.

20. How complete is your collection?
I'd say 2/3 of the way to my dream goal. But with so many ponies out of reach for me financially, the grinding halt for me with int. shipping and the competitiveness in my country it's unlikely that will ever happen.

I realized you might be talking about the little tiny ringlet curls, in which case, I don't know, but the mlp preservation project has an example of a petite like that in the hair section:  http://www.mlppreservationproject.com/hair.html
Just scroll down to the "Re-curling" section.  Its very encouraging...

That's my wee petite with the restored ringlet curls It was fiddly but I achieved that by using toothpicks.
If it's not a ringlet restore, then I find using the same methods as you would use on a normal sized pony's hair works just fine. Wash, condition; straighten and re-curl if required.

Ummm.... I don't have anything for 'X' - but can I skip to 'H'??!!  Hathorcat!!! Where've you been!? Missed you around here! 

Bar the stampers and the G2 fair exclusives I also have a complete collection (omg I love them.....)

Once I got into them that was it, and I was on the active lookout. It took me a couple of years.... maybe 3 or 4 (or even 5? - it's been a while! ) by the time I tracked down the last few I needed. There was one in particular, the twinkle guitar petite who just became the bane of my collecting life, lol!

I have chanced upon two playsets this year. Previously I didn't have any. I then discovered that the playset petites have the same big eye/small eye variation the pony parade petites have.... Ugh... I try not to get into variations but I ended up keeping the doubles since the differences in the petites was a curiosity in itself. Particularly Flurry - the two moulded versions I now have are two very different pinks.

I once had the green crayon petite with the symbol in a different colour (purple vs orange). I ended up trading her at the time but in hindsight I kinda now wished I'd held onto her. I think I was a bit caught up in trying to get other petites I didn't have as opposed to holding onto interesting (and rarish in her case) variations.

Can't quite seem to find my petite cabinet photo, but I did find my glow in the darks in action - so here's a bit of fun for you, Mermaid

I have her.... but only because nowadays I keep each pony from every set    BBE's are not my favourite ponies by any means 

Have and love! She was the last SS I needed, and being a bit picky, took me a good few years to score one. She was well worth it

I have both poses. Pretty gal. And, yellow ponies... 

I had such a beautiful example of this pony, once, and I sold her when I did a big sell off many years ago and have deeply regretted it. Still makes my heart sink when I think of how I let her go   

I have since replaced her, but she's not the same beauty I was had. I live in hope of one day finding another who minty and white.
