Title: Pony population poll 2: what gens do you collect?
Post by: Mewtwofan1 on May 30, 2017, 09:59:52 PM
I am pleased to announce the second pony population poll survey is now underway. Y'all have ten days to cast a vote, so please, for the sake of science, vote. I got a few questions with the last poll, so I'll use this to clear up a few things.

1. All the results are anonymous. Meaning unless you tell me in the thread, I do not know it was you who clicked *option* . So even I don't know who you are. These are anonymous and I don't know who y'all are unless you tell me!
 
2. What is the purpose of this poll I hear you asking. The truth is, I wish to monitor the trend of people on this site, seeing if there is an 'common' collector, meaning the majority of our herd is *blank* year old *blank* gender who seem to collect *blank* generation and live in *blank* continent. With this data, I can compare the future data collections, seeing how the State of growth and shrink of our numbers change, and why. This is strictly for science.

Please, as always feel free to ask questions and voice your opinions. I wish to hear from you all very much. If you have one, give an idea for a future pony population poll topic.

Thank you for taking part in this survey.

I collect gen 1-3 :) I have a few odd g4s and plan on buying a couple of the new sea ponies if I can find them, but I don't actively collect g4s, and don't identify as a g4 collector, so I left that option out.

I collect G1 and G4 ponies. If a G1 pony is in terrible condition (mould inside, hair missing) I customise them into other ponies if they have the same pose then I turn them into ones I don't have.

I collect all the gens! My g4 and g3 are the biggest herds. But I have a good g1 collection. I barely have any g2s though. I rarely come by those in the wild and have only actively bought them online once.

If I had to say what generation I'm most interested in it would be g4 because I love the show and that's how I prefer to draw ponies. But I have much love for g1 because I think it has the best toys. G3 holds a special place in my heart too because that's when I first started collecting.

Gens 1 and 3 are my favorites and biggest parts of my collection. I'm dabbling in G4s here and there these days IF they're unique enough to catch my fancy. Don't have any G2s yet and I don't collect G3.5s at all.

I collect G1,G3,G4. G1 are what I love best and when I started collecting I wanted to just collect them but the rest of the others joined my herd.

I collect G1, G3, and G4 ponies. I wanted to get into G2, but I was left hanging by a seller who had quite a few of the ponies I had on my wishlist and I just sorta moved on and haven't cared to try and buy G2 again since.

I mainly focus on G1's. I have a few select G3's.

I collect all, but am picky with G4's these days. I was gonna drop G4, but when I was in TRU the other day I saw a Pop Pinkie Pie that was glittery and could not resist. She was three of my favorite things: pink, glittery, and pony. So, she was an immediate buy.

I like G2, but don't buy them often.

I really primarily focus on G1. I have most of the G3's I want. But there are an endless amount of G1's I want.

I collect gens 1,3 and 4.  I have a couple of gen 2 but would not say I collect them.   I most actively collect what ever gen is in stores currently, so right now gen 4.  But I get most excited when finding a gen 1 in the wild (my childhood generation).   I occasionally buy previous gens online but I prefer to find them in person.

For now I'm only collecting G1s, but I'm probably a bit atypical since I wasn't born when they first came out and only got into collecting MLP in the first place due to seeing G1s on sale at a convention and being surprised by how pretty and high-quality they were. G3s, especially customized ones, aren't out of the question if I see one that really piques my interest, but they're not quite the same to me and I'm not going out of my way to find them.

Oddly, even though my few childhood ponies were G2s, I have no particular sentimental attachment to them at all (though I do think their eyes are very pretty).

G1 only. They are the only real ponies to me. :)

I mostly collect the current one, though I do have a decent collection of G1 & G2 Ponies as well and each one has it's own guidelines

G4 I collect a few different things, but in terms of brushables I typically collect one version of each character, unless they have a new gimmick I like or they were originally released with one and there's now a more accurate version (I've also been gathering up ones I could use for customs)

G1 is mostly character based and completing sets, I have ones that I'd like to get if I can find them for a reasonable price, but I have a lot of the ones I wanted most

G2 I have most of the first 2 years' releases and from there I've been cherry picking sets that would be easy to complete, it might be nice to eventually have one of each, but for now I've been filling in my collection as I feel like it

G3 doesn't really appeal to me either as a toyline or an animation, so I don't have any

You forgot G3.5 :P

I collect all gens except G3.5, but G1 is far and away my favourite.

I collect 1,2, some 4, and a tiny bit of 3.  Not actively collecting G3 so I didn't check that one off :)

I collect all gens but I mostly collect G1 and G3. G2s I will grab if I see them and G4s it's kind of an every now and then thing since I'm not as big of a fan of their look and don't watch the show or know the characters too much.

I have ponies from every gen!
I have the most G4, but G3 is my favorite.

Didn't get a G1 until a few years ago!

Primarily and actively, G1.

I collected G3 when they were being sold in stores but have not and probably will not go out of my way to buy them in the secondary market, save for a couple wish list ponies I was never able to get.

G4 ... I'm not not collecting them ... again, won't seek out to purchase online / forums / eBay but will buy in a heartbeat at a store or pony meet

G2 ... nope.

I only collect g1 ponies at this time.  Would like to collect g2 ponies someday but would have to be through trade.

I collect G1, though a few G3 have somehow joined them. Sneaky ponies!  ;)

I used to collect all gens but I just didn't have the space anymore, so I sold all my G3 and G4 ponies. Now I primarily collect G1 ponies. Though I do have a handful of G2 ponies as well.

1, mostly.  But a few 3s.  Will collect 2s at some point.  I am becoming fond of them.

i used to consider myself a g4 collector but i blinked and suddenly i have more g1s than anything else! also i think i really enjoy them more than other gens. so i guess im a g1 collector now.
g1s - probably about ~50
g2s - 0, though i wouldnt mind having some.
g3s - ~15? maybe less.
g4s - same. around 10-15 brushables? 15-20 blind bags? i have a lot of merch though. like..plushes, lunch boxes, blankets, that sort of stuff.

I feel like G1 will always be my true love but I also collect G2, G3, and G4 (only the brushables).   Although, I am focusing mainly on G2 at the moment.   I need them all with the exception of G3.5 lol
