Pony Corral / Re: Any collectors here that are also horse people?
« on: June 19, 2022, 12:00:37 PM »
I've always loved horses, and as a kid, MLP's were just among the many horse toys I was obsessed with. But being that I lived in the suburbs and horses weren't financially feasible for my family, I didn't own any or take formal lessons. But every summer I attended a horse camp or two, and I'd try to take informal lessons from my mom's friends with horses in exchange for barn chores.

In high school and college I was the most distant from horses (and much of myself, if we're being honest), but inevitably, after I met my now-husband, horses once again entered my life. Two years ago he took me on a trail ride for my birthday, and from that moment on, a new obsession blossomed. I started taking formal lessons for the very first time, and last Christmas my husband presented me with my very first horse - a 3 year old Gypsy gelding  :inlove:

Pony Corral / Who do you think are the most popular G1 ponies?
« on: May 30, 2022, 04:49:14 PM »
If you had to pick 5 (ish) G1 ponies as the most popular, who would it be? This includes the show, toys, comic, etc. Just like...to the general public, who would you say the masses flock to? I know there's a lot of ponies that are very common and absolutely everywhere (Glory, BlueBelle, etc.) but are they actually the most popular?

For me, Gusty and Fizzy instantly come to mind, but after that, I'm not really sure. Maybe Wind Whistler?

When I worked for a pepper processing plant, I brought in a blind bag G4 Pepperdance for my desk since I thought it was cute how she matched where I worked. No one ever messed with her, but maybe it was because she was so small and easily overlooked. Maybe a blind bag would be a good choice since they're cheap, easy to find and don't take up much space?

I have her! She's so cute! I do wish she had just a little bit more...oomph in her symbol, but I'm not really sure what. But her accessories are SO stinking adorable!! Overall, still a very pretty pony.

I have her and I think she's so pretty! Of course, I'm a sucker for just about any Christmas/holiday themed pony so it doesn't take much, but I genuinely think she's so cute. Her hair colors remind me of a candy cane, and she's in a cute pose too.

I LOVE her!!!! Honestly, I never would have known she was a monthly pony had people not mentioned it. I don't tend to collect sets like that, but I DO collect holiday/seasonal themed ponies and she is 100% right up my alley. Gosh, she's so pretty!

I'm legit tempted to beg my husband to drive me 3 hours to the nearest Cracker Barrel :( though there's no guarantee they'll have them in stock. Any other random websites they may pop up on?

Yes! That's her!!! :biggrin:

Was she sold at regular retailers? I'm super curious about The My Little Pony Project now and I'm going to have to look that up.

She's not really the type of pony I usually collect, but she was so unique I absolutely couldn't leave her behind. I'm so relieved she's not a fakie!

Pony Corral / Can anyone tell me about this pony?
« on: November 15, 2021, 12:05:25 PM »
Hi friends! Yesterday my husband and I visited a flea market and I found an incredibly interesting G3 pony that I've never seen before. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me figure out how to add a photo to my post, so I'm hoping I can describe her with enough details.

She has a light blue body, with a black, painted on "bodysuit". Her mane and tail are solid pink, and she has these clear "shoes" glued to the bottom of her hooves. Her eye is black with black dots decorating underneath it, along with blue flowers. Her bodysuit is also decorated with gold flowers and a symbols that sort of looks like an octopus.

I don't think she's been customized by a collector since the designs look printed on her, not painted, and I also don't think she's a fakie since she has Hasbro printed on the bottom of her shoe. 

Anyway, I hope someone knows which pony I'm referring to, and who she is. If she is real I'm sure she has a really interesting story behind her! Thanks!

I admit, a selfish part of me was hoping this wave would be pushed back until next spring when I'll be moving to a state that has a Cracker Barrel in it. But now it seems they're showing up and I'm completely out of luck  :sad: A few months back someone kindly reached out to me to check Papersource as an online option, but they don't seem to be stocking any ponies. I feel bad asking someone to try to find them for me since I want the entire set, and I dread to see what they're going for on ebay. I've been SO hyped for this set, and it's really disappointing that Target decided not to carry them.

Aw, what a cute color scheme! I think if her symbol maybe had some glitter on it and she wasn't a monthly themed pony she'd be a real show-stopper! As she is now, she's very sweet but not a pony I absolute need to add to my herd.

She's got a cute color scheme and pose, but something about her falls short for me. I do like the tinsel in her hair though, that's a pretty touch. She's definitely not an ugly pony, but I think she's missing that extra 'Wow!' factor.

It's honestly hard to pick since these ponies have some REALLY cute color schemes, but since I'm not a fan of printed on "clothing", I'd have to go with either Shutter Snap or Zoom Zephyrwing. That being said, I'd take every single one of them as a proper brushable! I'm definitely not going out of my way for articulated ponies or anything without "real" hair, but I'd still take these cuties home if I found them for super cheap.

Have her! I adore her symbol, and she looks soooo cute next to Pumpkin Tart, their colors complement each other perfectly!

I never would have guessed she's a Halloween pony, but she's cute enough in a simplistic way. I'd skip on the accessories since I don't like ladybugs and I hate the antenna, but I'd probably keep her if I found her while out thrifting. Don't think I'll be seeking her out though.
