Heya peeps! I have a question about the new retro MLP items, where do they "belong" in your collection?
The reason being I have some bits with the new artwork that I want to add in with my ponies, but it feels wrong putting them in my G1 closet which only has the old ponies and merch.
The G2-G4 closet however also "doesn't feel right" as the artwork is so clearly based on the G1s. I like keeping my collection ordered this way and now these retro items have kerfuffled me haha what do you guys do?
-
My pony room is organized by generation too, but the closet in there is for special stuff or other "misc." things. That's where I put the retro stuff. It isn't G1 and there's a noticeable difference between it and G1 art, but it looks ok in its own little area.
-
I've given some thought to this too. My all-gen collection is currently in storage, but I'm really hoping I'll be able to display them all soon. I think I'll probably display the retro stuff at the end of its respective generation.
-
Fit in just fine. I don't organize by gen however.
-
I dunno about anyone else but in the case of retro clothing with Gen One art, they get worn...rather than filed...xD
-
I don't have many retro G1 items, just a couple of the re-releases of the original collectors' pose ponies made for the 25th anniversary. Despite them being made in the G3 era I have them placed alongside my actual G1 ponies.
-
Well I'm new to pony, so have encountered all the gens almost at the same time, and I like ponies from all the generations to be all mixed up together.
It just seems and looks right to me that way, and I like it like that.
Um but yes like Taffeta says, new merch with G1 on it gets used. Which reminds me, I need some more pony shirts and I want g1 this time.
-
I do have some current stuff and it does get used. I got these cute big party cups I use them everyday. I have like 2 pony Tshirts. I know I should have more but thats all I have at the moment.I probably would just put all the Gens together if I had a pony room. Until then they are all having to stay in containers.

how do the retro G1 items fit into your overal collection?
When I can find room, I stick it there.
And I know that sounds like sarcasm but ya'll don't realize just how much truth that statement holds.

XD I was beginning to think it was just me that did this.
