Title: I finished rebuilding my (tiny) childhood herd! Also BAB Fluttershy.
Post by: RainbowRay on December 27, 2013, 09:31:24 AM
When I was little, I had 4 ponies. They were given away when I lost interest in ponies a long time ago, but when I got back into MLP more recently I decided I'd try to re-collect them again. And now I've managed it, hooray!

So here they are! (This is a little bit late, I actually managed to get the final pony a little while ago now, but now that I'm home from uni for the holidays I've finally had a chance to get a photo of all 4 together.)
I'm so happy to have them all again :D

Coincidentally, the order I bought these replacement ponies (Wing Song, Ivy, Tic-Tac-Toe, Twinkle Star) is the exact same order I obtained my original childhood ponies in.

Part of me is kind of glad that my original ponies were given away all those years ago, because the replacements I've bought are really so much nicer than my old ones - I definitely remember most of the eye gems being missing, and who knows what else I did to them. But even though these aren't really my childhood ponies, I'm finding it really easy to treat them as if they were. It's like they are the same ponies in spirit!




Also, a pony surprise! I received a very unexpected Build-A-Bear Fluttershy from my friend today, as a late birthday-Christmas present. Yay! I love her! I think Fluttershy makes for a very good large plush toy for whatever reason. Here she is with my Rainbow Dash.

Congrats on getting the childhood ponies. I've never warmed to G2 but so many love them and I see them on ebay.

Tic Tac Toe is awesome, I had her towards the end of my childhood collecting and she's one of my fave TEs

It's always nice to see someone get ponies they had in their childhood. I'm still hoping to one day go in the local charity shop and pick up a variant Princess Royal Blue/Sapphire for small change lol  :biggrin:

That's great that you've found "new" version to replace your childhood ponies, I bet your collection feels more complete now :) x

Congratulations! That is really wonderful. I love to find old toys that I lost or gave away or sold a long time ago and later came to regret giving up. Getting them back is so special.  :)

How sweet that you were able to recreate your childhood herd. I've considered recreating mine too (I had about 6 ponies) but was worried they wouldn't feel right. This gives me hope that if I ever do I could still have a nice feeling about them even if they aren't the exact ponies that were mine :)
