Title: Show Off Your Displays!
Post by: cowboyopossum on February 02, 2024, 10:35:38 AM

Forgive me if there is already a thread like this, but I couldn't find one!

I hadn't had my g3 ponies on display for the longest time, I couldn't find space on my main shelf!
I am quite fond of the g3 poses, because you can pair them together and make them girlfriends! They're so cute together  :lovey:

Aw, they're so cute :heart:

My ponies are in a box still. I bought shelves for them a while ago but haven't put them up yet, and now I want to rearrange the bedroom.

I was so lucky to find her in a bag at an antique store, along with some other ponies and accessories! She really looks beautiful.
BC, I hope you can free them soon!

Here's part of my shelves, my Lemon Drop Army display. (It looks slightly different since I took the photo, and it will change again soon, hah)

They're from one of the most recent dessert series, they weren't very popular so I'm sure you can find it somewhere!

LOVE all of these photos everyone!

Gator, I hadn't seen your Catrina and Rep customs before, they're amazing! Also the Pound Purries :lovey:

Rika - I'm sooo jealous of that Faerie Wocky xD but also omg what is that cute lemon hamster?!?! I'm in love!!

Flitter - I've always liked your display, those shelves work so well for G4s! And dang, I've never really noticed G4.5 Gusty before but oh she's cute... oh nooo I thought I was done with G4.5s... :drunk: xD

Sadly a lot of my collection is either in storage or the shelves they're on are half-done and um, not fit for taking photos of ^^; But here's some photos of the more finished parts of my display, some pics are older but w/e...

Boy ponies + families :) I'm still working on collecting all of the Loving Families so there's some blank spots there (Sweetheart is just keeping Mummy Bright Bouquet's spot warm lol)
The bottom shelf has G3s at the back because it's too short for G1s, but G3s fit in just fine :)

I have a handful of g3 lps from when I was younger I think they are overhated I love how over the top the designs are

Title: Re: Show Off Your Displays!
Post by: Carrehz on February 13, 2024, 08:49:46 AM

I love G3 LPS! I collect all the Hasbro LPS :B Most of my G2s are still in storage atm though.
I don't understand the G3 hate, don't even really see much of a difference between them and G2 if I'm honest.

yessss the Zelf cats are so cute! I hope you can get Cleocat, I think she's the prettiest Zelf.

Post by: cowboyopossum on February 14, 2024, 05:40:47 AM

The main point I see people criticize is the lanky legs and non-bobbly head. It was such a huge departure from the g2 pets everyone (including myself) loved. Especially with film making, they were not compatible at all with what we had before.
I have to admit, seeing people get g7 so early in Canada and such really hurts. Most of the US doesn't have them yet. It feels like they just don't care about us.

Title: Re: Show Off Your Displays!
Post by: Carrehz on February 14, 2024, 06:06:55 AM

I get the non-bobblehead thing (they did fix that up pretty quickly though), don't really get the proportions thing since I still don't see much of a difference in the gens there, sorry.

Gen 7! I don't understand the generations for LPS, haha, they seem to start a new gen every five mins. Would now be a bad time to say G7's just started to hit the shops here in the UK? ^^; Hope you get them over there soon - gotta admit, it is nice to get something first for once though :silly:

The way LPSmerch separates differently from what I separate them as, so here is my LPS gen timeline!
To show the differences in each gen, I will use the same animal as examples.

G1- Kenner LPS 1992-1996
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

G2- Hasbro LPS 2005-2012
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

G3- Hasbro LPS based off the cartoon 2012-2014
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

G4- Hasbro LPS based off the cartoon (redesigned) 2014-2016
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

G5- Hasbro LPS based off the webisode show "A World Of Our Own" 2016-2020
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

G6- Basic Fun LPS dubbed "G7" 2023-
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

_{Images from LPS Collector and LPSmerch}

It seems that Basic Fun used the same timeline as LPSmerch. It kind of rubs me the wrong way that they didn't go to the community for that information. (Most people do not agree with LPSmerch gens)

Basic Fun also seems to have stopped making retro MLP. Its really saddening to see the empty shelves in stores... I hope Hasbro fixes themselves soon. I want new ponies!!!

if the current gen is g7 to them then what the hell do they consider g6

They count an extra "gen" of g2 and g4, aparently.

I still need to take new photos of my collection.

@Beldarna, i want to add glass doors to my Billy shelves. do they keep your ponies from getting dusty?

Title: Re: Show Off Your Displays!
Post by: Shaiyeh on March 21, 2024, 04:18:06 AM

We have a billy shelf with glass doors for our warhammer stuff. It doesn't eliminate dust fully, but it gets a lot less dusty than without doors.
I also have Detolf shelves for the ponies, which also do get dusty over time, but nothing compared to back in the day when I had my ponies in a Billy with no doors. :)

Here is my collection! The pic is kinda big, so I put it under the spoiler tag. As you can see, I collect Pony Wear and I have a good start. I do have the Great Skates outfit, but it's not pictured because the dang skates never stay on my pony.

Thanks! It's funny; when I first started collecting ponies, I was only trying to get the classic ponies (years 1-3), but somehow I got into Pony Wear (I can't even remember what fueled my love for it; I only had a couple outfits in my collection as a kid) and I soon started collecting the outfits as well!

I've been really lucky to find most outfits with all the accessories. I don't have the milk and cookies with the nightgown (aptly named Milk 'n Cookies!) and even though you can't see, I don't have the right pillow (I was informed this before I bought it), but I do have the blanket. The Having a Luau outfit is from my childhood pony's wardrobe, but I'm missing the hat. Unfortunately the guitar strap from Rockin' the Night Away is broken, but sometimes I just take what I can get!

It was really difficult to find complete Pony Holiday outfit. Most times it's just the dress and shoes and I can see why since the hat and suitcase are pretty fragile and probably didn't last in many kids' collections. I made the mistake of opening the suitcase (I couldn't help myself!) and heard this terrible crack! It didn't break, but I quickly closed it and will never open it again for I'm sure it will break if I do!

Get Into the Groove was another outfit in my childhood collection, but I didn't have the hairlip (surprise, surprise) and only two socks, so I was lucky to find a complete outfit.

I really love Pony Wear so much - I should start an appreciation thread for it sometime!

Also, I hate to break it to you, but I don't collect baby pony wear - only the adult outfits (minus the ones for Megan and Sundance). I do have a few with the Mother and Baby Pony Wear outfits since they came as a pair. I had the Dragon Suit and Sunsuit outfits in my childhood collection, but only the Dragon Suit survived! And I'm pretty sure I lost the Pocket Pal within the first few months of owning it!

I looked at my photos and realised the most recent shots I have are from 2017. I don't have any current, but space is a bit of an issue so not all of them are out currently.

It's fun looking at other people's stuff though :D

Yay! I love seeing everyone's displays. I have a ton of my g3 in storage and will be looking to move into a bigger place to display them all. I also want to figure out the best way to display. Here's my current display of my favorites so far! :)

It's great to learn about other toylines from looking at collections. Thanks for the breakdown of LPS @cowboyopossum, I didn't realise that what I have is all G2. I could spend all day studying this thread!
