Hi everyone! I'm new here!
I live in Utah (US), I am 26, and I work as an accounting assistant for a home building company. I just recently got married to my best friend and the love of my life! I live for my family and we are very close.
I haven't been collecting for super long, 6 months maybe, and I haven't started collecting MLP yet, (besides the ones that I have from when I was little) but I have been getting into Monster High and Ever After High, so I'm sure that MLP collecting is just around the corner for me. I am planning to get all my old MLP stuff out of storage this weekend and start restoring/repainting them.
I figure that either way, I'm sure I will find valuable information on here and I will also be able to provide information as well. I look forward to sharing my techniques and findings, as well as learning form others and making new friends! :biggrin:

Hello and welcome!
How exciting! Getting your childhood ponies out of storage...those are the very best kind! Feel free to share pics of those with us.
There are plenty doll colelctors here as well as ponies and we have a doll forum, the "dollhouse" which, come to think of it, I haven't looked at...hm but you are certainly among toy collectors and we are happy to meet you and hope you have a great time here!

Being reunited with childhood ponies is such a wonderful feeling! Did you have a favorite?
-
Thank you! I did have a favorite, though I have no idea which one she was, as I think she was a hand me down! She was purple with pink her, and she had a pink 3D flower marking (maybe a tulip?). I wasn't able to get into storage like I wanted to find my ponies, so I haven't seen her for a while.

Welcome to the Arena :wave:
So glad to hear that you will soon be reunited with your childhood ponies. Make sure to take before and after photos of your first salon day with them too so you can see all the effort and progress you made :)

That set can be hard to find with their pockets intact! They're very sweet, I never had any myself (yet!). I hope you're able to find yours!
