Title: Another Brony Here
Post by: APPLBL00M on July 08, 2012, 09:23:53 PM
Hi! I'm APPLBL00M, also known as elviswjr or simply Apple Bloom elsewhere on the ponynet. I'm a huge fan of the Friendship is Magic television show and toy line and consider myself to be a "brony". Although I prefer G4, I also have appreciation for the older generations. I only collect the G4 toys but I have actually watched and enjoyed some of the G1 cartoons such as Rescue at Midnight Castle.

My current collection consists of the following.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! My collection has already expanded since I took those pictures. I have all the McDonald's toys now, a custom sculped Rarity figure, and I just pre-ordered a SDCC FS :muffin: Pony. (I see what you did there, word filter. :lol:)

What a nice collection!  Always happy to meet a brony.  I LOVE the pony pins, very nice.  I like how you have your ponies displayed everywhere!  That's what I do too  :) I'm curious about your Rainbow Flash; did you buy that in a store or online?  I haven't seen in the US anywhere.

She's from the Rainbow Dash/Flash two pack sold in Australia. I actually traded some of my blind bags for her. That's one reason I came here, I'm interested in trading. I've just got to learn how it works here.

I bet it has, lol!  There are so many great ponies out there... and so little money to buy them all with, lol!  Go you!  :frolic:

Thanks! I got the pins from PinFilly (http://"http://ponyorders.wordpress.com/") and I won the r/mylittlepony button in a giveaway on reddit. Here's some pics of how I styled Pinkie. She's actually one of the easiest to style, in my opinion. All you have to do is wet her hair, put it in rollers, (or straws in this case) let it dry, take the rollers out, and just play with her hair until it looks right.

It's been said already, but the styling you did on the manes are really well done! Any closer pics of your Dash? By comparison, my ponies are stuck with bird-nests for manes.

And oh yeah, welcome!

Thanks! Here are some closer pics of the ponies right after I styled them. I've been meaning to style my other ponies but I have so many now.  :wacko:

Wow, they look so show-accurate! (AppleJack needs a hat!) Were they all/mostly done with those hair rollers seen in the PinkiePie pictures?

Only Rarity and Pinkie Pie were done with rollers. (which are made out of straws) For Fluttershy, I curled her hair around her legs and put a straw under her mane to give it some lift. For Twilight and Applejack, I cut their bangs and taped them down. For some reason Twilight's bangs stayed down but Applejack's didn't. :huh: Like you said, she needs a hat. For Rainbow Dash, I had to thatch her hair and cut it to make her bangs, which, in my opinion, turned out better than Twilight and Applejack, which were made with bangs.

I actually had to Google search to see what "thatching" was. The idea of cutting the hair at all scares me because well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHy7bm6sJDU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHy7bm6sJDU) ...that happens. At least when I do garage kits, I can poxy over any mistakes I make, lol. Once hair is cut, it's gone!  :cry:

You should put step by step tutorials up for each pony since they look so amazing... but uh, you know, um... whatever you want to do is fine.
