#blessed (TWO Mimics and a Munchy...among others!)

[ghouldilocks]

Today, I bought a girl's childhood collection from her - originally she was asking $65 (USD), but she accepted my offer of $50. I couldn't believe my insane luck when I got the box home and was able to see who all I ended up with!

Starting off small(ish)...I'm not sure what these came from, but they look like paper dolls? They're a light cardboard. Does anyone know what they actually are? They're so precious.    Also, random flutter wing, haha

Huge stack of backcards! I haven't gone through them yet to see whose are included, but there's quite a few!

So you can see how thick the stack is, lol

A couple boxes of accessories! Some are MLP, others are not. I haven't gone through them properly yet, though.

A carrying case! It's smooshed down just a little bit on the other side, at the top, but not enough for me to mind.

A few cute fakies...the Talk To Me Pony still works, even!

I REALLY never thought I would ever manage to get either Mimic or Munchy, because of how much they go for online, and I figured getting them in the wild was an impossible pipe dream!

What makes this even more unbelievable for me is that my group of Twitter friends and I did a Secret Santa - I'd had a brief conversation with one of them before I went to the flea market last month, joking about hoping to find a $2 Mimic. We mostly all play tabletop games, so he thought I was talking about D&D Mimic. I showed him a photo of G1 Mimic from the wiki, and he asked me "well but can she change into a chest and punch adventurers in the face?" I told him she can do whatever she pleases, as she has magical unicorn powers.  Anyway, he ended up being my Secret Santa:

Mimic with Mimic. 

I actually cried when I opened her last night, I was so happy, but as my offer was accepted on the childhood collection lot last night as well, I wanted to wait and only post one brag, lol.

He said when he was assigned me for Secret Santa, he knew he needed to get me this pony because of the conversation we'd had, and he included a D&D mini-figure of a treasure chest Mimic to go with her. 

Anyway, here's one last photo to leave you all with, because I'm sure I'll never get this opportunity again:

Our Mimics look great together!  That's right, people, the second Mimic is miiiiiiiiiiiiiine! I have a terrible sister who never does anything for me. I'm putting her up for adoption.

I'm so stoked for you and all of this pony luck you've been having lately (and not just because I get your doubles!) You deserve it bb. 

[Pheasant]

Feel like sharing some of that pony luck?

Huge congratulations on your new additions! Those ponies look like they were lovingly taken care of, and that is so cool that your friend got you Mimic. Blessed is an understatement!

[ghouldilocks]

Thanks so much, Sundown! And yes, apart from three of them having some sticky plasticizer issues, they're all in really beautiful condition! She took very good care of her things as a child, it would seem, and I'm certainly grateful!

Thanks! I like the Remcos as well, but I didn't have one like this yet, either.

  The most magical daaaaaay!

I am raging with jealously about Mimic... Just kidding, I'm not feeling bloodlust or anything so ridiculous . I'm honestly happy for you. Congrats .

[ladybastilla]

Wow, you got some really awesome ponies in that group. And as a former DM, the story behind your Christmas Mimic is awesome.

[buttonso]

WOWEE! Very cool, congrats!
