Hii
I'm Cola! I have other aliases as well
If you recognize my photos, I go by cries on discord, and I have a few tumblr blogs (that I rarely update...!) I'll try to go through the suggested stuff that is in the introduction post for new members
How old are you? 21! Gemini
Where do you live? State, Country? 
I'd like to only say the US
!
Do you work or attend school? Profession or major?I am currently a homebody, I am looking to improve my digital art as well!
Who are the important people in your life? 
My friends! Most are online, however many of them I have met in person before we separated
I am getting more into the pony community as well!
Ponies:oh boy...There's too many to pick from! From what I own, right now my favorite is SS Ribbon
She's not in great condition but, there's just something special about her! I'm not sure what else to say about "ponies", I like them!
How long have you been collecting? since...sophomore year? so uh, at least 6 years? Maybe...longer? I'm not good at math
Which generations of ponies do you collect? G1, G2, G3, G4 or G5?G1, 2 and 3! Not really into 3.5 toys, or forward unfortunately. Still, I am a fan of all ponies
Quite enjoy all the shows as well! I use to enjoy G4 figures, but I have sort of moved on from them (So, only G1, 2 and 3 for now!)
What made you want to collect ponies? It must have been the first ponies I received! I collected dolls as a kid, but I lost interest as I got older unfortunately. I always loved MLP as a kid, it was sort of niche and underground for me- I just never had friends who liked it with me. G4 definitely increased the popularity but... I really preferred the older generations, so again, I was kind of left in the dust
It wasn't until I made a friend in high school who only collected G4 toys, and happened to really like all of MLP when it started to really click for me. I told them I would like to start collecting someday, but I was only really interested in the older toys- and almost like fate, they told me "I buy lots of ponies, and my mom gave me her Lemon Drop. I'll bring some tomorrow for you to have!"
Still very good friends with him to this day.
I talk about it like it's some romantic momentous event- He brought a very dirty, well loved, Lemon drop (who they did clean before hand) with a missing tail, a gunky G3 Goody Gumdrop, and a Strawberry Surprise that needed a good paint job (YES she does still smell like strawberries.) Despite my jaded view now, I had never held a Pony in my hand before. There was something captivating, I had that same feeling I had when I use to collect dolls. The plastic wasn't abrasive, the molds looked charming, I felt like I was holding something special. I know it's kind of lame when I type it out, but it's such a unique feeling I only really get when I collect something I like. I get that same feeling with art, or stuffed animals- books too. Anyways, if I didn't receive a handful of technicolor equines at lunch (who still need a bath...all these years later), I would not be here today!
I suppose I could have said "I really liked the G1 show!" but that's not as interesting as my sob-story
Tell us about your collection!I am a G1 enthusiast however... I own very few
My grails are all, lowballs
My display case is mostly bait ponies but I love them despite it. I have maybe 5 or 6 G1 ponies, I plan to get some more of course! Again, Ribbon is my current favourite. Another gift, from my mother, a couple years ago!
A few Years ago now, my friend gifted me her childhood G3 collection- which i am working to clean up! I hope to repay her with a few ponies some day- however she's made it clear to me she has no interest in collecting them. Right now... Cotton Candy, and Guava Lava are happily cleaned up on my display case in my closet. (Dang Cotton Candy broke my comb.) The same friend who gave me my first ponies also gave me a G3 grail
I really wanted a Love Wishes, and they just so happened to have one from another pony lot. My desires may be low, but I am happy with what I have. Oh- an estimate? Maybe, somewhere around 15-20 ponies
I am very slow with my cleanings...
Finally... :iconclap:G2. I recently started collecting G2 after years of eyeballing them. Like the others, I only really want to collect what I would like to keep. Unfortunately for me, that means big shipping costs! ...Because of the nature of G2's lifespan. Well, I did manage to pick up a few this week, who...also need quite a few different uhm, restorations!
we're really in it now, huh moonshadow. I'm excited to share what I have!
Extra stuff: I really love cooking, and I mentioned I do art. I like to write, I like cute things...I play video games and DND..? I don't think going to the gym and jogging is a hobby but uh, I do enjoy that as well! I like... a lot of things
It keeps me looking forward to the next day and reminiscing my memories.
I collect Sylvanian Families as well! (Although it has been quite a while since I have uhm, bought any.)
to sum up!:Newer US collector! G1, G2, G3
Collection formed mostly on bait or future restorations
Likes vintage
Likes the shows
