Hello everyone  I haven't been on the MLP Arena in such a long time. I have been in college and collecting ponies has simply not been a priority . That being said, I adore my collection and have hundreds of ponies sitting on shelves at my parents' house. I've gotten to a point where I think it would be better (and safer for the ponies) if they were stored away in our basement until I get my own permanent place. What would be the best way to store ponies long term? I have a variety of lovely G1 ponies with factory curls, some G3s, and ton of G4s from both my childhood and teenage years. I also collected some LOL OMG dolls and Rainbow High. I feel like everything is such a mix of size, age, and value that it is hard for me to create a plan for what to do. I want to make sure that nothing gets ruined in storage either by touching plastic or moisture. I get nervous thinking about my ponies sitting in boxes, and I want to feel secure about damaging them at all -- especially squishing the hair and pony cancer. Do any of you have any tips? Specifics are welcome and I'm open to anything! Thanks so much ya'll

I used to collect Legos! I was obsessed with Lord of the Rings sets in middle school, and Lego Friends in grade school. I don't collect them anymore, but I love going to the Lego store and looking at the Ideas sets. However, my boyfriend actively collects Lego Star Wars. We have a lot of fun finding sets and building them together. But it is an expensive hobby -- more expensive than ponies because there's not much at flea markets

Just filled it out. Best of luck on your research paper!  Will you be sharing it here as well?
Thanks so much! I do not know yet whether I will share it. I would like to, but I also do not know how it will be received. I want to talk about the complexities of this community without being biased, but of course people could disagree with my interpretations. I am definitely showing it in a positive light (I love you guys and MLP), and so I will decide after I write it.

Hello guys, I haven't been on the MLP Arena in a very long time, and it feels so good to be logged in again I have been given an assignment in one of my college classes to do a research paper on an online community, so of course I chose the MLP toy collecting community! I have been posting polls on my pony instagram account, but I thought that I should also post here. To condense the data from both sites, I have made a google form! Here is the link: https://forms.gle/uuGpuG91CK9moRvC6 I am trying to get some raw data and thoughts on the community, but please only answer what makes you comfortable! Thanks so much  EDIT: I have closed the form to any new responses. 84 people answered the question and I think that is plenty. Thanks everyone

Thanks so much! I've always loved the long haired g1 ponies, so I thought that style would translate well in a g4 custom

There is certainly interest! I would set your sights towards Etsy or eBay. I find that FiM fans aren't very widespread here (unless y'all are lurking). I think OC commissions would be a popular endeavor, as the fandom becomes more immersed into fanon.
Yes, are people interested in G1 characters that have been made into G4 bodies? I personally love seeing some of the classic G1 characters in the style of G4, but I don't know if this was only a fad.

Some years ago, I made custom G4 ponies that were made to be more accurate to certain FiM characters. Back then the show was still running and very popular, and I sold some of my creations. I LOVE making customs, and I only have experience and supplies for G4, but now that the show is over, are people still interested in G4 ponies and FiM characters? I never want to stop making customs, but after not being involved with the pony community for so long, I don't know where the new interests are in customs and FiM custom characters. Could anyone help direct me Where is the best place to sell? Do they sell? Bids or Buy it now?

The old style brushables are an absolute classic for me, since they were my favorite toys in lower school. I still hope to one day have all of the ones no one bought for me as a kid.

Nemesis told me about a good acid free tissue paper that you can wrap and store ponies.... I will try to find the name again... but as always, a cool and dry place is ideal to prevent mold, etc.
Is it better to use tissue paper that has no dye in it or anything?
