Hello, everyone. I decided to join up a few days ago, so I guess I'll introduce myself. If you really want to read this, fair warning, I can be long-winded sometimes.
It's been about 2 1/2 years since I was introduced to MLP, and started buying the toys about a year after that. I am a brony, as I imagine many new members here are, but also a bit of a collector, as well.
The bulk of it is blind bags, mostly because of their convenient size as well as the molded manes and tails, plus the lower cost. At first that's all I had since I was fairly opposed to getting brushables or any other kinds of the toys since I was too embarrassed of it, but that didn't last for long. Now I'll buy just about any of the toys that I think are cute, even the Equestria Girls dolls, which I've honestly found stopped looking creepy to me for the most part.
As far as older Gens go (in regard to their shows/movies), I absolutely love G1, I have no idea what to make of MLP Tales, since it was a very odd show. As for G3/3.5, I don't really like it, but I don't hate it, because it is very cute, and I can't bring myself to hate cute things.
I don't really care much for older-gen merch, and I don't know if I'll ever want any of it, but last year I said I'd never get an EqG doll and by this Friday I'll have 3 or 4 of them, so who knows?
I also like to made 3D models and have them printed, and I want to try my hand at other kinds of crafts as well.
So, that's really all there is to say. Glad to be here!
