Title: My little collection
Post by: alaskaallie on September 17, 2017, 06:46:17 AM
This is what I have displayed at the moment, although there are a few boxes in storage/set aside to sell. I haven't bought any new additions for a couple years, and I can't wait to start adding to it! Feels a bit strange to be show-offy in this way but this IS the brag arena  :cool:

Some of the remaining stuff is inside that shelf.

some treasures from my childhood- I still remember finding that dream beauty at a garage sale and thinking how weird it was that she had my little pony eyes ^.^

....yes that's sweet scoops! I played with her a lot as a child (my favorite colors were pink and purple) so she's got a bit of surface dirt but is otherwise in great condition (I've been a bit afraid to clean her since I found out that she was uncommon.....) the deer and duck family I still have all the pieces to! The deer family I bought MOC in an antique shop, but as a kid I couldn't resist deboxing them. I was totally obsessed with lps and have a big box of them at my parents' house.

bubblefish was my FAVORITE as a kid. Major points for anyone who recognizes the little cheburashka and moomin  :biggrin: if anyone knows anything about the moomin toy I'd love to hear it! I wanted sniff and moominmamma too but I didn't have enough pocket money  :P I bought it at Junibacken around 2002 ish. here's a closeup:

I bought these in the late 90's- I just realized that it says cinnamontail and not cinnamoroll?? anyway, I think they are very cute and I still have quite a love for this little character  ^.^

I hope this sort of post belongs in the brag arena, I'd love to see more photos of peoples' collections in general!

I know Moomin! For some time it was my favorite show in my childhood! The character you are holding is the main character of the series, Moomintroll if I translate his name correctly here. Btw a amazing collection! Great collections don't need to be big to be awesome <3

Thank you!   ^.^  It's always fun to meet another moomin fan. I grew up with the novels actually, and didn't see the show until I was an adult! I still haven't gotten around to watching all of it, something to do this winter  :biggrin: The toys are very hit-or miss for me, most of them are totally the wrong shape somehow. But I liked this one, and the giant plush I got from the moomin shop in london visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 though mine has got the shop logo embroidered on his foot  :biggrin: would really love to get some of the other figures.

They are polymer clay, made by me  ^.^ went through a brief obsession with pokemon when pokemon go came out- I caught dragonair and then lapras around the same area of town and thought they were soooo pretty. Then of course I had to make shiny lapras because my shelf didn't have enough purple on it :lol:

What a lovely collection you have!  I never think of it as showing off by posting pics but rather a way for everybody else to enjoy your collection with you.  I like your pony stamp collection. I have the Moondancer figure but not Skydancer :)

Thanks for sharing :frolic:

I love seeing your collection of MLP and more! I also was (and am) a huge LPS fan. Those deer and ducks are so cute! I would totally have opened the MOC deer as a kid, too. And It's awesome that you had Sweet Scoops as a kid and still have her.

Amazing collection!

I was admiring those! I love Dratini and Dragonair. I think I spy a sleeping Dratini in addition to the sitting-up Dratini?

Cute! I had Gerbils growing up as a child and had Gerbils a few years back. I had to find new homes for them due to my health. I was allergic to them. :( I was so sad to see them go. But they went to a nice lady at work and my mom took two of them. I Go and visit them when I go over to my parents house.

What a cute setup! So many different wonderful toys!

I'm so impressed by the beautiful Pokémon figurines that you made yourself. Good job!!
Did you make those pretty animals like unicorns and deers yourself, too? :lovey:

Your collection is really nice :) I have a similar collection in the sense that it is quite small and more selective, and lots of random toy horses from different brands/lines rather than all MLP. Very cute indeed :)

I like mixed collections  :biggrin: I'm into breyer just as much as MLP and other vintage toys but the collecting community isn't as fun as for MLP. Are there any pictures of your collection?

Your stuff is adorable!  I see Littlest Pet Shop and Polly Pocket!  I had those growing up (and still have all my LPS).  The Spotty Dotty stamp is really cute too; I used to have a shaker cup (the kind filled with glitter, water, and little figures) with her on it. She’s one of the more uncommon Sanrio characters. Speaking of Sanrio characters, I’m betting that Cinnamontail is one of Cinnamoroll’s friends (the all white puppy with the blue face and moth is Cinnamoroll btw).  And lastly, is that tall pink horse a Breyer?  She’s pretty and looks kind of like Cotton Candy. Maybe you should give her some speckles on her rump?  Lol.  :P
