Does anyone remember those read-along storybooks with the book and cassette tapes that they used to sell back in the day?

I was thinking about them last night for some reason, which led to me remembering the Ember's Dream cassette that came with the star version of Baby Ember.

As a child I loved listening to the story, but I was always kind of bummed that the tape never came with a book too.

I'm an artist/writer. And I think I have the G1 Hasbro art style down pretty well. I'm attaching a sample of some blank pony drawings I made a few months ago.

So, I'm wondering, if I were to create an Ember's Dream read-along illustrated storybook, would anyone be interested in supporting that as a project?

I would love to make an actual printed book if possible, but I would definitely need some financial backing for that, because you have to pay to get something printed up front-- unless maybe I do it as a Print On Demand book, but that's usually more expensive for people to purchase (like, usually double the cost of a typical book, especially if it has full-color illustrations). But maybe I could open up a Kickstarter or something like that?

Of course I wouldn't put the MLP logo on the book, but I think it could be a cool fan-supported project for those of us "in the know", haha 🦄🌈✨

I'm a long-time community member (since 1998 but if you don't know me, that's okay, I'm not a big name but I've been around long enough to remember when we all used to post on alt.toys.my-little-pony and people sent money orders through the mail to pay for ponies because Paypal wasn't a thing yet👵👴). I'm also a long-time Top-Rated online seller (many of you have bought from Good Boy Toys over the years on eBay, Etsy, or Mercari). And I regularly post my art on my personal Facebook page, so I'm confident I have the work ethic and the responsibility to see the project through to its completion.

I'd love to hear people's thoughts about it. Is this something anyone else (besides me I mean 🤪) actually would want enough to support?

Hi everyone! I've been making some MLP-related crafts for sale and listing them in my Etsy shop. I have a couple of different plush ornament patterns I created (G1 and G4, and I may work on other generations after the holidays are over). So if you've been looking for a cute pony-related project to create for Christmas, please come check them out.

I also have some completed G1 ornaments for sale in the shop if you don't know how to sew.

I also have these really cute earrings I've been making. The art is my original art, done very close to the G1 style if I do say so myself, haha. Plus some other non-pony earrings too, like Care Bears, Popples, etc.

I will also take custom requests on the ornaments and earrings! If there is a pony you want me to make, just message me either here or on Etsy.

I'm also working on some G1 pony symbol necklaces and earrings, and they should be up in the shop within the next couple of days. Like my Facebook page for the latest updates so you'll know when they are available:

I will combine shipping if you win more than one auction from me. I'm very sorry, but I'm only shipping to the US and Canada at the moment because of all of the shipping delays due to the virus.

Thanks for looking and good luck if you decide to bid! 

If there's anyone in Western MA/Southern VT/Upstate-Eastern NY, I'm having a local sale at the Berkshire Mall in Lanesboro, MA this weekend with a bunch of girl toys, including lots of ponies! See the Craigslist ad for pics and more info:

I'm selling this *huge* lot of original G1 ribbons on eBay this week! 90+ ribbons, all culled from various pony lots I've purchased over the years, including 3 that are still in the plastic. The current bid is only $29, which is quite the bargain for all of these.

The auction ends TOMORROW NIGHT (October 24) so please hurry up and get those bids in.

I also have many other ponies for sale at Buy-it-Now prices so please feel free to view my other items.

Hello, everyone! I have two auctions up on eBay this week, both ending tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 26).

First is what I believe is a factory error Bubbles-- she has NO blaze... I'm not sure of her origins since I got her secondhand, but she has no trace of the paint on her forehead and the rest of her paint is fine. She's still at a pretty low price so grab her while you can.

I also have a large Kenner Littlest Pet Shop lot with various bits and pieces from different sets. There are a whopping 32 pets, plus a bunch of different accessories. This would be a great starter lot to fill in some of the holes from your collection!

There's still plenty of time to get your bids in, but again they end tomorrow so don't wait too long.

I also have a bunch of Buy-it-now stuff, including lots of ponies and other toys. I'm taking offers on most everything to drum up some sales, so please go check it all out. I will combine shipping and I ship to most places.

I have a lot of good stuff for sale on eBay if anyone would like to take a look. Lots of nice ponies, including several HTF G4's, Sunburst, Baby Racer, Quackers, UK/Euro NSS Buttons, Bubbles, a few backcards, and more. I also have some other toys as well.

Last week I had some cheap ponies and accessories up for auction... and this week I have even more. They all end Sunday night, so there's plenty of time to get your bids in.
