Finally Reunited! (+ my apartment collection <3)

[MilkyTaroMochi]

After over ten years, and thanks to an Arena member, I have finally been "reunited" with one of my childhood friends.

Ivy was my first MLP (excluding ones that were handed down to me by family members), and loved her since I had got the McDonalds toy of her in my Happy Meal. After begging my mom constantly as a kid every time I saw the Magic Motions version at the store, I got her as an Easter gift. Sure made my Easter, and honestly one of my top five favorite childhood memories. Oh, the memories of taking my Ivy and putting her underwater, pretending she was a sea-pony because of how her hair would move. xD  Out of all the MLPs I had gotten rid of back then, she was the one pony I really wish I had kept.
So when she came in Saturday and I opened the package, I was so happy and excited. My inner child came out, and I felt like I was finally reunited with a long lost buddy. <3

Two other ponies also came in this last week: Kimono (thanks to another Arena member), and Lyra (FINALLY caught her when Hasbro had her in stock).

And also got lucky and found this at my local grocery store Tuesday. First time ever seeing the Playhouse Puzzles in person, and I wonder how it ended up there ( it was the only one there, never saw them on the shelves at that store beforehand).

Here's my currently collection that are at my apartment, complete with a "blind bag army" (that every time I look at them, I keep thinking they'll do a "Care Bear Stare!". xD I have more MLPs, but I left my MIBs and the McDs at my parent's place. Ivy's a bit camera-shy. ;D

And as a mini bonus, here's what's my entire "collection display shelf" looks like right now. Like with my MLPs, I left most of my MH dolls back home, and my MLP Playhouse Puzzle is usually behind my Winx Musa doll. :

[MilkyTaroMochi]

Thanks, everyone!
I love the Arena. <3 Awesome and friendly place that has nice people to talk to and ways to get ponies you're looking for. Especially if those ponies aren't easy to find or made anymore.

My collection is growing nearly every week. xD Would not be surprised if I wake up one day to find that a pony has mysteriously appeared in my collection.

Hooray.  Getting that childhood pony back is the BEST feeling!  What a lovely collection!
