Pony Corral / Re: And speaking of Summer Wing ponies....
« on: May 10, 2013, 09:58:35 PM »
Hard to pick just one. I want them all. : D
Little Flitter is my favourite though... she was the first of the summerwings that I ever had.

She's cute, but she isn't on my immediate want list.

Omg, how lovely!

I'm mostly a knitter... I've thought about getting into spinning because it looks fun, but I don't know if I have time for another hobby. ;p

Pony Corral / Re: Ponies with eye rubs, what would you do?
« on: April 22, 2013, 08:13:36 AM »
Many of my ponies have minor eye rubs; I just leave them alone.

If it were a major rub, I think I'd probably still leave it alone unless it happened to be a very common pony.

OMG, I had that sleeping bag when I was a kid! .... I've thought about selling it/giving it away in the past, but it's so cute, I just can't stand to part with it.

This is the bag that the sleeping bag comes with! (I just had to go dig it out to get a picture, haha)

I think... for the cost that it would take to get a MOC to de-card, I could probably get a pony off-card that looks mint or near-mint. So, I don't think I would go to the trouble. : )

Woke up to a fresh coat of snow. Again.
Looks like it's still winter here in northern Canada. :T

I don't actively intend to collect them, but I think it might be nice to have one or two. They sure are cute.

Pony Corral / Re: Well I did it! Got me some restoration ponies.
« on: April 13, 2013, 08:18:36 PM »
I haven't done a lot of heavy restoration, but there was one project that took some work....

It was my childhood Truly:

Who knows, you'll probably find that you'll be able to clean up your ponies really nicely!

Pony Corral / Re: Running out of space?
« on: April 13, 2013, 07:26:42 PM »
I have zero room, so most of my ponies are in boxes. :c

I decided that in order to deal with that problem, I'm going to thin out my collection and change the direction that it's going in. If I have a lot fewer ponies, then being able to rotate them for display will be a lot easier.

She's cute, but I'm not sure if I want her. 3D symbols aren't really my thing!

Pony Corral / Re: POTD 4/12/2013 Ember (blue)

She's adorable. Not terribly high up on my want list at the moment, but if I found her in a lot I'd be happy.

Pony Corral / Re: Who is the rarest US NON mail order pony?
« on: April 12, 2013, 04:36:22 AM »
I was lucky enough to get the Fancy Mermaid Ponies as a kid but we never saw the pink one and she still eludes me to this day.

Agreed about the Fancy Mermaid Ponies. They might not be the rarest, but I think they're definitely obscure. Nobody ever seems to talk about them and I haven't seen many for sale.

Off Topic / Re: Howabout a comic recommendation thread?

If you're looking for scifi/fantasy "Nausicaa of the valley of the wind" by Hayao Miyazaki might be up your alley (and also it was later made into an animated film). It's kind of a post-apocalyptic fantasy story about a princess to tries to bring balance between humans and nature.

And I have a few other recommendations that are not fantasy -

"Age of Bronze" is great for anyone with an interest in ancient history and literature; it's a comic about the Trojan War, based on the Iliad. Gorgeous artwork and well-researched, though unfortunately there are only three volumes out so far.

"Black Jack" by Osamu Tezuka is a medical drama/adventure series (mostly). It's one of the few series that I own all the volumes for; it's just amazing. Each book is self-contained and made up of short stories.

Then there is the "Moomins" series by Tove Jansson... it isn't exactly a fantasy series but it's about strange little animal creatures who look sort of like hippos. I find it very, very cute and rather witty at times. (There is a series of children's novels too but sometimes they're kind of depressing)
