Pony Corral / Does anyone still do trades?
« on: March 29, 2022, 02:13:02 PM »
Just something I've been wondering lately. In the early days of my pony collecting, there was a lot of trading going on; mostly on here and on the MLPTP. Now I see hardly any trading in the forums, so I was curious as to whether there simply aren't nearly as many people trading as there used to be, or if they've all gone somewhere else that I don't know about.
I know there are some facebook groups where people buy and sell, and also on instagram, but trading not so much. Or what am I missing?

I have a ton of dirty ponies I still need to clean, but after that I'd personally much rather trade them for ones on my wishlist than go through the hassle of getting them sold.

MLP Nirvana / Brazilian Baby Susie?

I'm hoping it's OK to post this link since the auction has ended. I am curious about the blue baby in this auction. I have never seen her before. Is she even a real MLP?

Pony Corral / Re: G2 CDs- How many languages? (& other questions)
« on: November 27, 2020, 09:44:56 AM »
Okay, here we go. The lyrics of version 1 and version 2 are the same.

Discliamer: it's terrible, and even worse when translated!


Song 1
Dutch:

Ponyvriendjes huppelen, ze maken je blij
Dansen, spelen, dartelen zo vrolijk en vrij
Zij beleven elke dag
Avonturen met een lach
En vertellen die aan mij

Met een ponyvriendje ben je nooit echt alleen
Wil je mee naar Ponyland dan gaan we daarheen
Heb je eens een keer verdriet
Dan zegt pony: Huil maar niet
Zing maar met mijn liedje mee

(refrein)
Ponypaardjes met hun lieve ponysnoet
Maken je weer vrolijk als je huilen moet
Regenbogen drogen
Heel snel weer je ogen
Lach maar weer het is alweer goed
(2x)

Ponyvriendjes hebben zacht en kleurig lang haar
Kam het, was het, borstel het of vlecht het dus maar
Zij zijn zelf nog maar zo klein
Willen het liefst dichtbij jou zijn
Ponysprookjes worden waar

Ponyvriendjes bij je bedje iedere nacht
Zij zijn trouw en vriendelijk hun manen zo zacht
Slaap maar lekker droom maar fijn
Van je pony’s groot en klein
Want die houden trouw de wacht
(refrein x 2)


English:

Ponyfriends are skipping, they make you happy
Dancing, playing, frolicking, zo cheerful and free
Everyday they have adventures
With a smile
And tell them to me

With a ponyfriend you’re never really alone
If you want to go to Ponyland then we’ll go there
If sometimes you feel sad
Pony says: don’t you cry
Just sing along with my song

(chorus)
Ponyhorses with their sweet ponyface (? Actually she sings “ponysnout”)
Make you happy again when you have to cry
Rainbows dry
Your eyes again quickly
Just smile, it’s alright again
(2x)

Ponyfriends have soft and colourful long hair
So just comb it, wash it, brush it or braid it
They are still very small
And want to be close to you
Pony-fairytales become true

Ponyfriends by your bedside every night
They are loyal and friendly, their manes so soft
Sleep well and have sweet dreams
Of your ponies big and small
Because they will loyally stand guard
 
(chorus x 2)



Song 1
Dutch:

Ponyland is het huis van alle pony’s
Wij spelen alle dagen met elkaar
Ga je met me mee om daar te kijken
Want al je lieve vriendjes wonen daar

(refrein)
Ga maar met me mee
Wij gaan met z’n twee
Samen hand in hand
Naar mijn Ponyland

Ga maar met me mee
Wij gaan met z’n twee
Samen hand in hand
Naar mijn gekleurde Ponyland
---
Regenbogen kleuren onze wereld
De zon schijnt altijd en de lucht is blauw
Wil je samen met ons komen spelen
Dan houden wij voortaan heel veel van jou

(refrein 2x)


English:

Ponyland is the home of all the ponies
We play together every day
Will you come along to take a look
Because all your sweet friends live there

(chorus)
Just come along with me
The two of us will go
Together hand in hand
To my Ponyland

Just come along with me
The two of us will go
Together hand in hand
To my coloured Ponyland (she actually says coloured, not colourful which would make more sense)
---
Rainbows colour our world
The sun shines and the sky is blue
Would you like to come play with us
Then from now on we will love you very much

(chorus 2x)

Pony Corral / Re: G2 CDs- How many languages? (& other questions)

Oh god those songs are horrific! :yikes:

It sounds like one song was meant for the Netherlands and the other for Belgium; the belgian version of the dutch language is slightly different with a different accent. Weird though that they used the same singer for both versions.

If you want I can translate the full lyrics for you? Just let me know.

BTW, there was a period when I found loads of G2 on fleamarkets and thrift stores, but I never saw that backpack or that CD. Only the DVD, lots of times, but I think at some point you got it for free with certain purchases.

Pony Corral / Re: Do you have Baby Countalot in your collection?
« on: November 26, 2020, 02:29:42 PM »
I used to own one, traded her away a long time ago. Se did however have the beads toward the front.
Unfortunately I didn't record anything other than that I got her off ebay. But since I had not been collecting for very long it's most likely I bouht her from a seller somewhere in Europe, and if I had to guess I'd day from Germany since I bought most of my ponies there at that time.
Sorry I can't be more specific.

Thank you!

What a beautiful collection of Blossoms :heart: thank you so much for sharing them with us :green:

You have done a lovely job making them pretty with a trip to the spa and they are great pictures you have taken. It is nice to see them together like that, so you can note the little difference between them all.

I know I have ended up with two of some ponies :blush: I had planned to sell one as I got an upgrade, but then found I couldn't or spotted a neat difference between my two ponies, so ended up keeping them both.

I am already looking forward to seeing your Bluebelles :heart:

Love pkw xxx

I've had that too! I thought I would be able to trade one for a completely different pony but found a small difference and ended up keeping them both. Collecting MLP just keep bringing surprises ;)

MLP Nirvana / French Blossom and some other variants
« on: November 09, 2020, 11:15:22 AM »
*not sure if I posted in the right forum, please move if not*

So I recently rediscovered my MLP collection. My favourites were always the collectors, and especially all the subtly different variants from all the different countries.
And even though I was supposed to clean and photograph my extra’s so that I would finally get that bin empty, I came across a deal for a pony I wanted that was too good to pass up. Maybe twice. 
:yikes:

And then I couldn’t resist taking my new girls for a spa day. So here is my brand new French Blossom and also the rest of my litte Blossom army. Soon to come: my new Blue Belles  :biggrin:

Left to right and top to bottom: French, Hong Kong, grey Italian, purple Italian, Mexican, Spanish piggy.

MLP Nirvana / Re: Odd italian Cotton Candy - any info on her?
« on: September 24, 2020, 12:18:46 AM »
Thanks for the replies!

I have no idea where she came from; I found her in a dutch thrift store. I like the idea of a sort of test run. So far she seems to be OOAK anyway, so that is pretty cool.

I found a lot of italian Peachies over the years and they are always a sort of fleshy colour, not pink at all. Italian Cotton Candies I've seen anywhere from bright pink to greenish-white, however they always have pink hair. This pony's hair is more of a peachy colour, and her body doesn't seem to be faded because inside her neck seam it's the same colour. These were all the stamped eyes version btw, the airbrushed eyes are a lot rarer and have their own colour schemes.

Off Topic / Re: Shipping woes?
« on: September 23, 2020, 01:08:04 PM »
The worst thing I ever had was a pony lot I bought because I thought there were some nirvanas in there. Turns out there were (some italians and a french pony) but the seller had shoved them in a box that they filled up with sawdust. And to make things even worse these ponies all smelled horribly and had some sticky goo all over them. Imagine pony hair + stinky sticky stuff + sawdust....

Have her & love her! I love all the wingers  :lovey:

She's actually one of the very few ponies I overpaid for on an eBay auction because I wanted her so bad...
