I've been thinking lately about the fact that rare, sought-after ponies were originally, of course, childrens' toys. It's a little strange to think about (just because I've been in the collector's mindset so long!) -- a kid playing with a TAF baby or Mountain Boy, for instance. People who had rare ponies as kids, how does it feel to see them so expensive now? Did you like the rare pony when you were a kid? Do you like it now? Do you still have that pony? What are your thoughts and experiences with this? I'd love to hear.

Mountain Boy Fireball was one of my first ever ponies, which is interesting since I grew up in the US! My childhood neighbor moved here from England and gave me a small collection of ponies her daughter no longer played with. Fireball was and still is one of my favs, and I still have him. He was the only boy pony I had for a while and he "protected" the rest of the ponies. I remember spending a while flipping through pony books trying to ID him as a child with no luck. It was not until I discovered the online pony community that I found out he was more sought after, and was never sold in the USA. To me it makes him more special that he is one of the more desirable ponies today.
This is a cool topic! I have also wondered what it was like for collectors who had sought-after ponies as children and would love to hear more stories. :)
-
No, but I did have a substantial collection of fantasy fillies that I kept in near-mint condition throughout my childhood). I also had not lost any accessories, all lights still worked, and there were no broken pieces. I had Alexis, Jewel, Prisma, Ala, Cirra, Electra, Zinnia, and two of the minis. I kick myself for not keeping them, having given them away instead.
As far as MLP: I don't think I ever had anyone of any real value: Baby Countdown and Baby Drummer I think are the most valuable among my childhood herd, so no big loss there.
-
I dont think so... I had a few sought after ponies though :
Cool Breeze
Whirly
green Rollerskate pony
Princess Sparkle (light up Princess)
EURO Baby Explorer and Baby Stella
-
I had the TAF babies and scoops! I also had a set of the pearlized babies!
-
Yes! As a kid I saved up my horseshoe points and got Mommy & Baby, and the 6 pearly babies. I also had one of the mermaid babies and got the Valentine’s twins as a gift :) Still have them all today.

It's not strange to me :) The Mountain Boys were among the only boy ponies I had or even saw as a kid, though the UK had all the Big Brothers too. I had three of them. Sunburst when my sister was born, then Fireball and Thundercloud as well. I still have them and their combs/brushes but not their stickers :( But I played with them, took them to school...you name it. I always loved them but I also always wanted Lightning and could never find him. I don't frankly understand why Ice Crystal is so much sought after compared to the others. I like him ok but yeah, I don't really get it O.o. We picked up the other three at carboot sales for like 50p or £1 so the prices of Mountain Boys now seem a bit crazy.
I also had Gypsy but I'm not sure if she counts or not. I found her second hand at a school fete.
The Mountain Boys were not rare here when we started carbooting. We found quite a lot of them and traded them all overseas for other ponies. They are rare now. But I never thought of them as really rare until we were online. The thing is that there's always been this idea since the mid 1990s that the mail orders and Euro/UK ponies (and later Nirvana) are somehow rarer. But for me the rarest ponies are still some of those we didn't get here.
I have had about ten Ice Crystals over the years. But I have found exactly one Glory and one Moondancer here at carboot sales. Rare is relative to where you live :)
My sister and I had a few UK/Euro ponies. We had the family babies and the best friend babies with their pals. We had rollerskate ponies as well. UK versions of the sea ponies...yeah. But I don't really know how to gauge them as 'rare'. I still see 2nd set rainbows and early pegs and unicorns as more rare to me.
On another note, we did pick up Himmelstanzer and Baby Leaper at a carboot sale. And at least one Mimic, once ;)
-
I had SA Windy. She went mysteriously missing with the bulk of my childhood herd and I will never know what happened to them.
-
Don't know if these are necessarily rare, but I did have Clipper and Starhopper. I remember clipping and saving horseshoe points, saving my money, and finally mailed away for them. I couldn't afford the whole set, so had to settle for just those too.
I was forced to give away my childhood ponies, so getting Clipper and Starhopper from the last Delaney sale, was a major milestone in completing my childhood collection.
-
I have dainty dalia
-
Yeah, my rarest as a child isn't all that rare. But I had mail order Stockings. I don't remember much about the points program as a child and I know that I didn't send of for her or baby Ember. I suspect that my mom was the one clipping points and sending off for those two and then saving them for Christmas.
-
Yes, my parents sometimes bought them for me for my birthday. :D I have Scribbles, Dabbles, Rapunzel, Mommy and Baby pony, Goldilocks, Tux n' Tails (can't vouch for Satin n' Lace, though :blink: ), and Babies Sugarcake and Gametime, while my brother had (and now I have) Baby Clipper. Received Baby Milkyway as a gift from my best friend; she'd ordered two (one for each of us) and we were surprised when they came that one had the stripe in front instead of the usual spot; I liked it though, but now I find I need to also find another Milkyway, so I have one of the "regular stripe" version as well. ^.^ Please note I can't vouch for accessories; they did get played with, after all. ;)
For ponies sold in stores, I somehow managed to get all of the Big Brothers (US only, mind), and have something like 3/5 of the lil' litters kitty sets. Never found Mimic in the store at all, despite looking. :huh: Hey, I saw that episode, just like you did! :lol:
Edit: Oh, I remember sending for the Rice Krispies Baby, so I she must be in my childhood herd as well.
-
Sunnybunch. Merry-Go-Rounds aren't easy to get these days from what I hear.
Definitely Dazzleglow.
How do I feel about it? Annoyed. It took me a long time to find Dazz and I still need Sunnybunch back.
-
I don’t know if it counts, as I got him secondhand long after they’d been in shops (2010s) however I didn’t know that he was rare at all.
When I was about 11 I found ice crystal at a car boot sale for £1. I remember being excited to find boy ponies but I didn’t realise that ice crystal was any more hard to find than tex and salty (who I also found). It was really cool to discover that I had a somewhat rare pony in my small herd! Without knowing much about him, I still really liked him and he was one of my favourite g1s, and the husband of kisscurl, my main g1 character, who was the mum of my favourite g3s at the time.
I still have him, as I properly got into collecting a bit afterwards (rather than just playing) and I still think he’s my favourite g1 boy that I own. If I didn't have him, I don’t think I’d be rushing to eBay to buy him as I think it’s more the memories of playing with him that make him special,he was just one of my favourite g1s, not because he was sought after.
About his price now - they were still pricey when I got him (I had no clue at the time) but if I had lost/sold him then I would be very annoyed, as he was a favourite and I would NEED to buy him back!
If I had sold or got rid of him, I would’ve bought him back, because of the sentimental value and playing with him and his family, but I wouldn’t buy him at his high price otherwise, as handsome as he is :P

Reading all this I wish we had mailöorder ponies in Germany too ;) lol. You guys had some awesome ponies!!
-
I wouldn't consider myself a 'kid' as far as most people who first got into MLP back in the 80's. I was around 11 in 1983 so I was in my pre-teens and teenager when I started collecting MLP.
Myself and my cousin did play with our ponies together, she was 4 years younger, so she would have been around 7 years old but unlike most kids we were never really rough or hard on our ponies.
So we both had ponies like Mimic, a majority of them tended to sit on the shelf since since I had the mindset of a collector even back then. I have ponies like Rapunzel who has sat on a shelf for years now, other than the occational photo or things like that she was never played with and came to me directly from Hasbro. In fact all my mail order ponies were originally mine direct from hasbro except maybe 1 or 2 that I purchased off ebay.
-
No I don't think so... I mean unless you count Lucky. I got him for my 5th birthday... but he's not as htf as some of the other rares mentioned here.
-
I had Mimic and am consistently shocked at the price she goes for - she's not even that rare!
-
I didn't have any super rare ponies, but I had a couple (and still have) that are reasonably 'sought after' now. TAF Nightglider and Buttons were in my herd. Nightglider admittedly was my favourite pony, and I was always so careful with her because I always thought she was so beautiful, even as a kid :)
I don't have any super strong feelings about how they are valued today, I'm just more grateful that since I still have them in gorgeous condition that I didn't have to pay the going rate to obtain them as an adult collector, lol!
-
I had (and still have) Baby Princess Sparkle with her Buggy.
Beyond that, the 'rarest' things I had were probably the mail orders Lucky and cartoon-eyed Spike.
I wanted the TAF Babies as a kid but never had enough pocket money to get around to ordering them.
-
The rarest ponies I had were the mail order sparkle ponies, so fortunately nothing expensive or hard to replace. However, I had a very extensive collection of Petite Ponies and playsets. My sister and I and our friends played with them a lot so I imagine they had symbol rubs and bad hair anyway. But I wish I still had them. There’s no way I’m paying the going rate to replace those!
-
i wish i was one of the lucky ones and said i still have her/have them today :sad:
they were all given away by my brother when i left home.
here is an old photo of what i had as a kid.
the rare one i had was Alternative birthflower carnation. the one i haven't been able to replaced yet :cry:

-
I didn't have anything that rare. I am actually pretty glad I didn't. I was really young in the 80s and super hard on my ponies. The rarest thing I had was taf Munchy and Te Brighteyes. Hence my namesake lol. I don't know what happened to Brighteyes but somehow Munchy survived my childhood with only a minor hair cut. :)
-
I never had any mail order ponies but I think I had a few that are considered rare/hard to find now
SS Twilight. probably the rarest pony I had., My grandma bought her for me but for some reason I wasn't allowed to take her home. My grandma insisted that SS Twilight stay at her house so I could play with her when I came (She let me take all of the other ponies she bought me home) Years later when I was an adult I decided to take SS Twilight home with me. She stayed untouched for years in my grandparents house but she disappeared.
Royal/Castle twinkle petites/Glowing magic petites/Pony Prints Cabin. I replaced Pony Prints Cabing but am missing one twinkle petite the orange one with a tower for a symbol
Fancy Baby Mermaid Baby Pearly-I still have her. :)
Baby Palm Tree-Sadly I no longer have her. When I thought I would never like ponies again I let someone give her and Pina Coloda away to a girl that liked ponies. I'm hoping one day I can replace her.

My ponies were (and still are) the absolute most easy to find common ponies in existence, haha
Peachy and her salon, Cotton Candy, Minty, Glory, Medely, Firefly, Lickety Split fuzzy, and a pile of other exceedingly common ponies.
But I loved them and still do and as ridiculous as it seems, I may even buy the remakes of the same exact ponies when they finally come out!
-
I didn't have a rare ones as a kid but I found out a childhood LPS is $40 and a childhood poker card is $30 (though mine is a bit played with)
-
Maybe one of my old LPS is wanted? I plan to sift through them to see if any are sought after because they lost their appeal with me.
When I started collecting MLP I picked up two Blossomforths and tried to customize one into :muffin: pony. I never finished it because she was sticky from the spray paint we tried (I was 11, cut me some slack!) and lost motivation. Sorry, Blossy! That's the closest I got.
-
I had the lavender Dream Castle. That’s the only childhood play set that I kept so I still have my original one!
As for ponies, I had princess baby sparkle/buggy and the blue mermaid- both of which I remember buying!
-
I had a so soft Satin and Lace. I thought she was too pretty to play with, so she just sat and stayed pretty. I did manage to break her ring, though, and it got tossed. :(
-
I only had McDonald's G3s as a wee child, so I am going to count when I first started collecting G1s as my "childhood" ponies, cause I was still young when I started :) The only really rare pony I had was Merry-Go-Round Sunnybunch :) She is in pretty good condition! She was found at Goodwill in a large lot of G1s. Also in that lot was a mint Dibbles with her sister. She had REALLY pink hair, and still does! I don't know if that is rare, but I'm going to put it in here anyway :)
-
It's so fun reading through these replies. Some of you guys had some really rare ponies (from my U.S. perspective!) growing up. Brightglowpony, that's so cool that you had Fireball because of your English neighbor! And it's a funny thing you mentioned, Taffeta, that Glory and others would have been rare to you while you had Mountain Boys straight from stores when you were growing up. Kazzelin, I think it's so cute that you and your friend got Baby Milky Ways together, and that they were the different versions. Certainly helps to tell them apart when you're playing! Shabbychicdee, I think you might win the prize for currently-most-expensive childhood pony. I hope you get that alt. birthflower someday! I love everyone's stories! Keep them coming! ^.^
-
My gf's childhood ponies (now part of our joint collection) include Baby Milky Way (with no tail, though!), Mountain Boy Sunburst, Tales Bright Eyes, and the 3 UK Activity Club baby ponies. She got them all from charity shops in the 1990s. It was a bit strange when we started collecting and realised that ponies she'd bought for a few pence were selling on eBay for high prices! I'm really glad we have Bright Eyes, because if we didn't we would definitely want her - so we saved some money there! The Activity Club babies are also firm favourites.
Finding out about UK versus US ponies was a surprise too. Gypsy, Honeycomb and Snowflake were all part of the childhood herd. The lack of Ribbon, Firefly and Moondancer (who did after all appear on various bits of UK merchandise) had always seemed inexplicable, and now made sense at last!
-
No, all of my ponies were pretty common ones from memory. It actually makes the fact that I lost my entire childhood herd while we were moving house a bit less painful, actually. I think I'd have a complete meltdown if I'd had a large collection of HTFs that had been lost. I still wonder where my ponies ended up...
:sad:
-
My Glory is really precious to me even though she had to get a repalcement tail and has a well loved symbol because she is the first and only Glory I ever picked up in the UK :/ Still don't know how she got here but I'm not complaining ;) Moondancer too. I got them together at the same stall. I still consider them more 'rare' than the Mountain Boys even though absolute collector logic dictates that Glory and Moondancer are worth about $5 and the Mountain Boys about 6x that. Maybe that's what I can't get my head around. Not that the MBs are common now, but back in the mid 1990s they were not hard to pick up. And I still never saw a Medley at a UK sale of any kind. My Medley and any doubles I ever had all came from the US, so for me, any of you who had Medley as a childhood pony (or Sparkler, or Skyflier, or Tickle, or Flutterbye...etc) had rare ponies to me ;)
I shouldn't complain mind you, because those MB doubles basically resolved my how to get all the US Mail Order ponies problem...
I remember my childhood friend and I had both versions of Milky Way the adult between us. So funny that someone had the same happen with the baby version xD.
I guess we all take for granted the ponies we grew up with.
-
Not rare, but I have Mimic from childhood. Based on what’s written on the bottom of her hoof, she was only $1.75! Obviously, picked up for me second hand, as were all my childhood ponies since I was born in 1987.
-
-not rare
-Mimic
You have a gem right there, that's pretty cool.
My sister and I had some MO g3 ponies but we think they got given away. We had a few exclusive winter g3s as well. I also ha Aloha Pearl and she seems really popular right now.
-
Not really but my cousin had all four of the UK exclusive set that included Gypsy, Honeycomb, Hopscotch and Snowflake. Not supre rare but nice to have memories of those ponies from my childhood.
-
I had US Powder as a child, she was a gift from my cousins who lived in LA at the time :) I guess she was "rare" for me to have then.
Other than that I had the usual UK/Euro ponies which were standard release.
Love pkw xxx
-
I had Red Roses and Mint Dreams. They went to school with me everyday and I would play with them while waiting my turn in the carpool line. I wish my mom would have kept all my ponies but she only kept my LPS, Barbies, and dolls. I still have no idea what really happened to them all.
-
Not really. I had a bunch but I only really remember playing with gusty, wind whistler and magic hat. HOWEVER, I have a friend that spent her childhood on various military bases, one of them being in italy. She has a MINT magenta blossom :shocked:. I went over one day to check out her collection and there she was. In all her italian glory.
-
I had HK white Tootsie, so not super rare. On her backcard she was green, so I always wondered why mine was white, and never found out until I was an adult collector.
-
French Bowtie :)
G2 wise (actual childhood ponies), I suppose the later Magician set
-
I had HK white Tootsie, so not super rare. On her backcard she was green, so I always wondered why mine was white, and never found out until I was an adult collector.
To be fair, I still don't think we really know why that Tootsie is white. Except that Hasbro are odd. ;)
-
I had the mail order Mommy and Baby set! I sold them to a member on here a while back. :( I wish that I never did that cause they were mint and had original curls! :(
-
Wait-- the merry go round ponies are rare? I still have my Diamond Dreams in good condition.
-
Wait-- the merry go round ponies are rare? I still have my Diamond Dreams in good condition.
I think of all the MGR ponies, that one is probably the most rare xD. Congrats <3
-
Some MGR ponies are rare. At least 2 or 3 are under $20, thankfully. I want one eventually.
-
Don't know how rare they are as rare is pretty relative.
But Princess Ruby (variant), Berrytown's, Baby Ruby, the bedtime newborns, Baby Candy, surprise twins mummy pony, surprise newborns, best friends babies, seven friends, cookery ponies, baby Mischief and baby lemondrop (were all bought new and I still have all their accessories -pretty much). Everyone else was secondhand but include: baby bridesmaid and baby fun and games, baby applejack, and Snowflake x2 (is she rare?).
To be honest until I was in my teens and the internet came about I had no idea any of these ponies were rare (ish) and it still throws me. Thankfully as a child I looked after my ponies and apart from a brief stint in the shed and their adventures in the backgarden they're all in pretty good condition.
But I have never seen Glory, Moondancer, Firefly or Medley in the UK, so from my point of view they're much rarer than any of the above. :biggrin: *makes grabbyhands for Moondancer and Glory*
-

Oh, awesome! The Mc Donalds pony is finally being recognized!

I wouldn't consider myself a 'kid' as far as most people who first got into MLP back in the 80's. I was around 11 in 1983 so I was in my pre-teens and teenager when I started collecting MLP.

In fact all my mail order ponies were originally mine direct from hasbro except maybe 1 or 2 that I purchased off ebay.
This was me also. Almost same age and I wish I had bought the ponies I wanted back then. I didn't own any rares as a kid. I also don't remember seeing any of the rares in my babysitting families ponies either.
-

Yes! Agreed! The true rare ponies! Still boggles my mind how common they are in the US O.O.
@PrincessNikki :lol:
-
I did not have any, I would have had the baby pony set but it sold out. :cry:
-
The rarest pony I had would be SS Angel. I also had two flutter ponies with their wings (Honeysuckle and Peach Blossom), which is pretty rare.
I really regret not asking my parents for mail order ponies. I cut out the horseshoe points and stared longingly at them in the brochures, but for some reason never actually asked for them. So of course I never got anyway. Oh well . . .
-
I didn't have any cool or rare ponies as a child. Sadly T__T Though I loved my Magic Star to pieces! A friend of mine had Mimic and I was sooooooo jealous because of the movie...
-
I started collecting when G4 came out. I was still a baby when I had some G3 pony, I don't know who she was and absolutely not sure she weren't a fakie. But I got all the rare G4s when I started buying ponies except Honeybuzz, Star Swirl, Cherry Pie, Cherry Berry and Skywishes. I was 15, I don't think this is considered "childhood" tho.
-
I don't know how rare they are, but I had Peach Blossom, Summer Wing Sky Dancer and Windy Wing Cool Breeze. Technically, I still do. Peach Blossom lost the tab base to her wings, but I still have the rest of them. Cool Breeze has a mysterious orange spot on one leg. :( But... that's as rare as mine got. And gosh, I really really wanted Mimic.
-
Out of all the ponies I owned, G1 Starglow would probably be the rarest. All the rest were G3s.
-
I dont think I had any rare ponies when I was collecting. Unless you count the mail order rainbow poines. I had morning glory, baby ember the pink one with lavender hair, and Tex. That was about it.
-
Nah. I was a very common kid with very common ponies. I think the only one I had as a kid that's worth anything is the Chuck E Cheese pony. I was so thrilled when I was able to get her. I still have her too. Mint and pristine condition because even as a child, I treated my herd as more of a collection than playthings.
-
The only rare pony I had as a kid was one that wasn't trashed from all the hard play inflicted on my ponies. ;)
-
i still have my original herd, with tex, wig wam, slugger, salty, and steamer ... and them my amazing Rapunzel ... who i worked my little fingers to the bone for! :) i cherished her and knew she was special from the start, so she stayed mostly as a display piece on my shelf but i loved her :)
-
I had SA Windy. She went mysteriously missing with the bulk of my childhood herd and I will never know what happened to them.
:scared: :nope: Whoa, that sucks!
In Australia we had a lot of the later UK ponies. At least at the stage when I was at the age to collect. I had ponies mostly from years 8-10. I had the complete UK familes set (Sunbrights,Meadowsweets, Berrytowns), the Paradise babies, Fancy Merponies, 7 Characters (Tales ponies, though we didn't have the cartoon), Princess Sparkle, Bedtime Newborns, Rollerskate ponies, ones like that. Unfortunately, since the dads in the family sets were in the same pose as other female ponies (CJ, Tootsie etc), I felt I needed to give them short hair to distinguish them. So my 3 dad with the irreplaceable horizontal stripe hair have buzzcuts! Part of me doesn't regret it, but I entertain the thought of getting them rehaired to mimic the original someday.
My favourite were the Tropical ponies and the sparkle baby ponies. I also had Posey Rose who I loved. I had no idea boy ponies existed until the internet.
We had the cartoon series at the local video shop, but that was all I knew of earlier year ponies, they were long gone from stores when I started collecting.
-
Nope ;) I grew up with g3- and then I gave my herd away. But based on the photos my mom took, I don’t think I had anyone rare.
-
Nah but I came THISCLOSE to ordering Rapunzel. I went for quantity though and ordered I think Starcatcher and Lucky with my pony points instead of one Rapunzel (IIRC she was 8 points) and I congratulated myself on the wise business decision after. :accomplished:
-
While I grew up with G3, I had (and still have!) both TAF Dancing Butterflies and TAF Baby Dancing Butterflies when I was little because I found them as a pair in a thrift store. In addition to that, I had a few other mail order exclusive G1s such as Baby Stockings. I didn't really know about their rarity, but I played with them very gently and they survived my childhood with no extra flaws aside from a little surface dirt that I was able to easily clean off. Then again, I always washed my toys after I played with them, and I knew about tail rust from the pony research I'd done so that was thankfully avoided.
I did also find Rosey Posey when I was about 12-13 years old but I don't know if that counts because by that point I was pretty much only collecting them and not playing with them (aside from giving them spa days lol, which I never did with her).
-
I got Baby Princess Sparkle for my 12th birthday, and I still have her buggy but it needs new lace and a new top heart\ribbon to hold on the umbrella . She died of mold when my father's basement flooded but I have a replacement again :) If only my ma had let me have the less than ten dollars at the time when I was really little I would have had Rapunzel but ah well :cry: I still love that pony just from a style standpoint, I wish she wasn't so rare so I could add her to my childhood collection retroactively -_-
-
. . . both TAF Dancing Butterflies and TAF Baby Dancing Butterflies when I was little because I found them as a pair in a thrift store.
Aw, that's so cute! Mom and baby together ^.^
-
No, I didn't, but I have a friend who grew up in Brazil, and I am dying for her to bring her ponies back to the states the next time she goes to visit her parents.
About the "rarest" thing I had was Dream Castle. Which is not rare at all.
-
In my childhood herd I had Mountain Boy Lightning, Baby Milky Way and Baby Sweetberry (I have no idea where my parents got them from, because they were my Christmas present one year along with the kitchen?), Baby Ruby and Baby Sapphire and Bobbie, who I found in a charity shop (I thought she was a fakie so I scrawled on her in felt tip pen which bled into the rubbery vinyl). I also had Gypsy, Hopscotch and Honeycomb but they've never registered as rare or sought-after to me.
-
Yup. I had all the Dutchies (including 3 Baby Dolphins!), Nightglider, TAF Yum Yum, Munchy, two Surprise Newborns, Star Hopper (I thought she's somewhat HTF?), two Jewellery Babies with their accessories and probably more I cannot think of right now.
Most of them are gone, and what I still have looks too sad to discuss. :lookround:
-
Nope. I grew up during the G3 era, so a good deal of my ponies are common...very. When G4 first came out I saw a wall of ponies (Snowcatcher, Blossomforth, etc.) and I was like pass. The mane six were all I wanted then. Guess I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to get them all, if I knew how long they were going to be around. :biggrin:
-
I didn't have any rare ponies, but my sister had MLP Tales Bright Eyes.
-
In Australia we had a lot of the later UK ponies. At least at the stage when I was at the age to collect.
Yep, this! My sister is four years older than me so I inherited a lot of her earlier gems, but then I had plenty of Y8/9/10 - Dazzeglow, Diamond Dreams, fancy mermaid babies, Secret Beauty, Sheertrimmer (who I LOVED so much), Chocolate Delight, UK Princess Sparkle... apart from the latter two the rest continue to evade me :stressed:
