Title: Hello from New Zealand
Post by: Marmalademonkey on August 18, 2017, 08:30:32 PM

Hi I'm Tanya!

I'm a  pony collector from new Zealand with an extensive collection of G1 ponies. I have been collecting since I was 4 and have recently had my collection exhibited in our national museum. In my other life, I am a doll/toy designer and an academic researcher looking into toys that encourage imaginary play and outdoor play.

I was a member here many years ago.. it's nice to be back.
Tanya

this is my collection - https://ponygeddon.wordpress.com
and a recent article about it - https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/cutestuff/95328530/the-38yearold-woman-obsessed-with-my-little-pony

Very cool! It would be nice to meet some fellow kiwi pony collectors... I don't really know much about the pony groups here in NZ, except those I trade with on trademe.
Did you see the New Deadly ponies collaboration with My little pony?

Hello from canada! There are plenty of people from New Zealand around here. I've only ever been at an airport in New Zealand. But I hear it's a pretty beautiful place! Hope to see you around!

Welcome! I love New Zealand; my mother immigrated here from Christchurch. Whereabouts are you? I constantly kick myself for not trying to check out the market in Riccarton while I was there last.
