Title: Re-introducing myself... again :)
Post by: Katika on February 04, 2017, 01:19:56 PM
Hey everyone!

Long time no see :) The past year or so has been absolutely nuts for me, resulting in decreased pony time (boooo), but I'm trying to make my come back now (yaaaaay!).

A little about me: I grew up playing with G1s, but left the MLP world when I wanted to play with more "realistic" model horses. Fast forward to 2003 and discovering G3s and I became an overnight collector. I much prefer G1 and G3 to the other generations, but G2/3.5/4 have all grown on me enough that they're welcome and significant parts of my herd (still not too sure on what I think about the *new* G4s... G4.5s? What are we calling them?). I go through spurts of customizing, but it's been a while since I've dug my ol' bait box out.

My degree is in animal science, as I'd planned on going to vet school since I was 5. Unfortunately, in undergrad, I began to pass out while making incisions and then I got engaged/married to a man whose career routinely keeps us moving, making that career a very unlikely option for me after all. I've worked in animal rescue, handling military working dogs, as a vet tech, and a horse trainer before deciding to devote my professional energy into another lifelong passion of mine--writing. As of this past April, I'm a published epic fantasy author :)

I hope to become a more active member of this community once again--it's always been the warmest online home I've ever been part of, and I miss the sense of camaraderie that these forums bring to its members.

Hi,
Do you love animals? I do. Also I know everything about MLP Gens.
These are my fav MLP Gen toys in order of what I like the most:
Gen 3 are the best! They are aren't as tall but they are way more sweet (u already know that)
Gen 2 are more tall tall, slender and pretty (u already know that, too) They are also my fav to collect!
Gen 1 are usually more short and chubby (u already know that)
Gen 4 are HIDEOUS and they have huge heads and tiny bodies. The series however they look way dif, but I do warn u the plotlines in it and charaters are annioing, more modern and they are all way more realistic. I doubt u would like either the toys or the series. I don't think u knew how terrible this Gen 4 of toys look. That and the toys cost a lot of money for something soo tiny! The series are still better than the toys.
What is your fav MLP ever? I don't have a fav one of every single Gen, there are too many to choose from!
U should def keep collecting MLP Gen 3's but maybe u should try the Gen 2's, they are soo tall and pretty!
