Ponyville - Do you like it? Collect it?

[StoryDreamer]

Ponyville is growing on me. I only have two, one was a gift, but  I saw a little Wysteria one at the thrift store I was at a few days ago, and now I want to go back and retrieve her.   I'm still eh on the anthro ones (though it'd be cute if someone customized them into the Tales girls!) but the regular ponies are darling.


Has anyone ever customized them? It seems like they'd be good for customizing, especially the ones with removable hair.     What have you made?

Who are your favorites?

Also, this whole post was a distraction from packing for my upcoming move, so post pictures if you like so I may be distracted further.

I dont collect them but as an accessory obsessive....I am rapidly been overcome by some of the little accessories that they came with - so cute and varied. Although with the release of so many already within the G4 line I do wonder if I should just collect the accessories for them via G4!

Dont you find the little ones when they have had their hair removed look just a little bit scary?

I keep picking them up at yard sales with their little buildings, but I didn't realize quite how many I had until I started their own shelf for them in the pony room. Up until I put up the shelf, I wouldn't have said I collect them, but the proof is in the pudding! (Proof is in the Ponyvilles, I suppose!)

I haven't gotten far enough to start cataloging and actively pursuing them yet, though.

This! They just get everywhere...I swear they're breeding inside one of the playsets I picked up...

I must admit I wasn't into them much at first, but I have a few... thinking of customizing one into a Baby Squirmy.    Definitely they are a gateway "drug" to Dollymix and BB's, though!

Hm they are kinda cute... but I like the accessories more than the ponies themselves. They do have a creepy look in some poses

I have Pinkie Pie's Balloon house I found at a flea market this year & before that I got Pinkie Pie & Desert Rose with soem of the house furniture. And I have a few other ponyville ponies. Most of them live in Pinkie Pie's house.

I never really intended to start collecting them, but I found a few in cheap lots and now I have the start of a collection on my desk I just love them! And they are still tiny enough that I am not losing my already limited display space.

I have a few that I picked up at thrift stores/on clearance.  I don't really collect them but the accessories are cute.

they grew on me, i never intended to collect them, it was like hey what happened, how on earth did it start, when i moved i notice...and  before i knew it i had a massive giant size box full of ponyville playsets, they are just so cute and colourful and i absolulty love the fairground set with the rollercoaster and ferriswheel and love the popcorn theater, i have a glory custom from a sweetie belle i think il have to try and dig out the box, i didnt make it but im planning making a bubbles out of a pinkypie cos i have soooo many pinkys

oh yes the cool thing is you can put your blindbag ponies in the playsets and some of the accessories fit them too

When I first started collecting ponies, it was just as core 7 was starting to leave stores, but G3.5 hadn't gotten here yet. So, what was on store shelves for me to buy? Ponyville!
So I have quite a few sets from then. I'm not a huge fan of the ponies themselves, but I love the accessories. Lots of them are the perfect size for my dolls, too; a box of pizza, some slices of cake, a sandwich, a balloon animal, a pinwheel, some shoe boxes, presents, a songbook, toothbrush/toothpaste... all the perfect size.
