Title: Sundazzle series fan from Australia
Post by: Preenmeupscotty on April 01, 2020, 05:12:19 AM: Hi everyone,

Thank you for welcoming me into the community. :biggrin:

I've been a My Little Pony girl my whole life and being in Australia, I found it difficult throughout my childhood ('90s) to have decent access to the toys and TV series, so I used to obsessively watch the 1986 movie and bring my Sundazzle Sunbeam everywhere with me until she was destroyed (not by me and I've never gotten over it :cry: which is why I replaced her recently :lol:).

My favourite as a kid was Firefly and to this day, I am still obsessed with the G1 Sundazzle ponies: Sunbeam, Sunglory and Sunsplasher.

I spent from 1992 onwards trying to collect them all and just never seemed to be able to find them.

MLP was a great help to me growing up with a physically abusive father. My Sunbeam and the movie (and the few occasions I got to see the series and get more ponies) provided the perfect escape into fantasy and even today, provide a great deal of solace. Since I got Sunbeam again, I just hold her and smell her all the time. It's the smell of my childhood! :blush:

Anyway, thanks for having me! :)

In regards to my research (G1 & G2 Australian time line) The Sundazzle series were released here and do occasionally pop up on eBay!

I can help you track down the missing ones if you'd like the help!

Glad you replaced your fave Sundazzle, & hope you find her friends soon xxx

Ponies have that special smell, don't they? So many of my non-collecting friends have mentioned that, too, whenever my pony collecting hobby comes up in a discussion.

I hope you enjoy your stay here! :happy:
