Pony Brag Arena / Pony Mail - A Pleasant Surprise!
« on: February 12, 2020, 01:59:45 PM »
Recently I took a chance on an auction on eBay. It only had one picture and normally I'm wary of those, but it was a $5 lot with Wigwam and G2 Sundance, both ponies that I've wanted for a loooong time (Wigwam was one of my fave Big Brothers when I was little) so I thought eh, what the heck. Even if he's got marker all over his other side or something he's worth the $5.

Well the lot arrived today and I am beside myself because he is perfect. I'm not joking, see for yourself:

Silky-smooth hair free of rust, no marker stains, age marks or any stains period as near as I can tell, no chew marks or scratches or anything. Just...pristine ;A; I am going to die, a $5 Wigwam in this condition I just...I'm beside myself.

In addition to Wigwam, the lot included Sundance! Sundance was my second favorite G2 pony after Ivy. In ye olde PC game she had a memory minigame where you'd help her do neat dance moves and I just adored her. So I'm super happy to have her in my herd for the first time! She's missing her eye crystals and has some trouble standing but is otherwise quite lovely.

NOW this is where things get even more amazing. The seller included a freebie pony! I was already over the moon about these two but then...

Caramel Crunch appeared! This girl has been on my mental wishlist forever and here she is, and for free no less! <3

Needless to say this seller got a new customer who will be sticking around for a loooong while to come.

BUT WAIT....there's more!

Yesterday a special package arrived! Wanna guess who was in it?

The night twins! Or...more accurately, at least for this picture, Moonlight! My sister and I bought them together so she could have Moonglow and I could have Moonlight, since we're attending the convention together as well we thought it'd be cute for us to share the set. So currently Moonglow is somewhere in her room, but I'll talk to her about taking some cute pics of them together soon!

But Moonlight is just so precious, I love her little blush and her color combo!

Pony Brag Arena / eBay Lot & Store Buys - Whizzer + More!
« on: February 07, 2020, 07:47:02 PM »
I received another lot today, this time from eBay! This lot was $9 w/free shipping, and everyone cleaned up quite nicely <3

Here is everything altogether, just pulled out of the box <3 I decided to do a before/after photo session with Whizzer so you could see how nicely she cleaned up!

Poor Whizzer was rather filthy! She had lots of surface dirt and marks, and to top it off, a young artist had apparently decided her wings would look better painted white.

Thankfully, with a nice spa-day and scrubbing, she was nearly good as new. Her only flaw now is the little bit of frizz at the end of her tail.

Next we have the two G3s included in the lot:

Crystal Lake! This gorgeous gal was one that never really stood out to me, but now that I have her in-hand, she's actually quite lovely. I adore her gold and pink hair!

And yet another StarSong. I swear, I probably have a good half-dozen of her now haha!

There were also two G3.5s:

There were also some random bits and bobs included. It looks like a whistle, a kaleidoscope, and some sort of ponywear I have yet to identify:

In addition to that lot, I also have a few recent store buys to share! First off, my local Five Below recently got some new backstock in, and guess who they had...

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Pretzel ;A; I have wanted her for so long but our distribution was all over the place when this wave was supposed to be out in stores so I was never able to find her. But here she is!! I am stoked to finally have her.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


They also had this Cherry Berry. She has a rather interesting factory flaw which can't really be seen well unless you see her in person, but she's actually got two spots on her tail where the the hair is melted. Probably from getting grabbed wrong by one of the machines in the factory where she was made. At least, that's my theory. She's still lovely though!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I also found this Trixie at a Love's on the way to a doctor's appointment! I love her expression hehe.

And lastly, our Wal-mart stores have finally gotten in the new Pony Life stock. I will admit I was initially not thrilled for these but they've sort of won me over. We do have a few of the brushables but not Potion Nova or Trixie, who are really the only two I'm looking for atm. However...they did have the new blind bottles! So I took a quick peek at their codes so I could grab Potion Nova and Cha Cha!

Potion Nova! Those stars on her symbol are so tiny omg

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Cha Cha!

Now I saw a couple people complaining about how the bags were hard to rip so they didn't have a choice but to dissolve them in water. However, I personally barely had to touch them and they easily ripped open along the perforations (I did this instead of dissolving to avoid anything staining the figurines! I just didn't want to risk it, so I dissolved the bags after I got them out >u<).

Anywho, I'm excited for when the Potion Nova and Trixie brushables show up, as I'll definitely be getting them!

Pony Brag Arena / Shopgoodwill Lot Brag!
« on: February 05, 2020, 08:44:29 AM »
Weather has been kinda nasty lately so I haven't been able to go out for my weekly pony hunts. So about...maybe a week and a half ago, I bid on a pretty nice cheap pony lot on shopgoodwill and it arrived this past Sunday. I've procrastinated getting pics up of everything, but here we are finally!

So much pony goodness in one box <3

First up we have the lone G1 of the lot, Little Giggles! I have wanted a Teeny Tiny Newborn for an awful long time, and I absolutely adore this little one. She has some pretty bad tail rust I still need to take care of. She's so small, she fits right in the palm of my hand!

Next we have the G2s! First we have Magic Motion Ivy. She was a childhood pony and it feels so nice to have her back in the herd! This gal is in lovely condition with both her eye crystals.

Magic Motion Moon Shadow! Gosh this gal is gorgeous. She's missing both her eye crystals, but that's nothing a quick trip to the craft store for some Swarovski crystals won't fix!

Next, onto the G3s!

Petal Blossom. This poor gal has seen better days. Her mane seems to be fine for the moment, but when she arrived her tail was pretty much rotted off. Only the tinsel was keeping it in place:

No matter, we'll get her a new one soon!

Two very sad-looking Strawberry Swirls. One of them came with her charm. They both have bad rotting hair and marker stains. They obviously came from the same home since they have different initials written in the exact same spots on their necks, so I was thinking about possibly doing either a) alternate rehairs or b) some sort of twin-themed customs so they could stay as a pair.

Pinkie Pie Tiny Tin

Kimono ornament (she was supposed to have a mini ornament in her mouth but it looks like that broke off at some point)

In addition to that, this lot also included:

A couple of Lanards! There is also a Tara baby in the lot but I forgot to take a picture of her. She has some rotting hair as well, so perhaps once I rehair her I'll post pics <3

Pony Brag Arena / My First HQG1Cs Have Arrived!
« on: January 19, 2020, 03:00:48 PM »
Yesterday evening I received a very special package. What could be inside...?

...three lovely HQG1C ponies!

The handsome boy Dasher, and two of the Sweet Treat Sisters, Rainbow Twist and Rainbow Puff! Thanks to the wonderful 50% off sale recently on Clipper's ecrater, I was able to get my HQG1C collection started, and I could not be happier <3 Dasher is such an adorable boy, and the sisters are precious!

Here are some more pics from after their spa days! I was able to get most of the factory stringiness out with a nice fabric softener soak, and I curled all their hair!

First up, the most exciting find - a G1 thermos! I've been looking for one of these in the wild for two years, and I found this one at a thrift store I've never gone to for only $2. It required a lot of scrubbing to be ready for display, but here it is, finally <3 I am so stoked to have one of these in my collection. Now if only I could find a lunchbox in the wild as well...

In addition to that, I also found a whole box of G3 stuff at the trusty ol' antique mall!

Pony Brag Arena / Happy New Year! Long Overdue Brag
« on: January 09, 2020, 10:06:08 AM »
Hi all, long time no see! ;u;

I've been super busy over the last few months, mostly with medical problems as well as some personal issues. I haven't really taken a break from collecting, just posting! But it's 2020, and with me and my sis getting hyped all over again for the Pony Friends Forever Con coming up, so I figured it's high-time I got back to posting my buys and finds. So without further ado, here is what I've added to my collection since the last brag!

First up, I mentioned months ago that there was a lady who offered me a lot of overpriced ponies, and I bought just Love Melody since the others were too pricey. Well, on Black Friday, her booth had a 20% off sale and I nabbed up the rest of the ones I wanted for reasonable prices! Here's what I got:

Fizzy

Shady

Baby Firefly

Baby Moondancer

They're all in really lovely condition, so clean! Fizzy's hair is currently crazy but she still has her factory curls, so I didn't want to mess with it too much until I can figure out how to style it without ruining them hehe.

---

Next, we went to the mall that's about thirty minutes away from our house for Christmas shopping, and stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch. And who should I find but my favorite pony from the Rainbow repro set, Confetti? :D

And now we're into the thrift/antique store finds from the last couple months!

First up, I stumbled upon a bag of doll combs for like $0.50 at a local thrift store, and recognized one of the combs as a G2 comb! Cupcake's comb, to be precise <3

Secondly we have this lot of gals with very snazzy haircuts, all found super cheap at the antique mall. I ended up styling their manes in some pretty neat ways!

Thirdly, we have my finds from yesterday!

Sunrise Song, one of the few G3 unicorns I was missing. She came with that charm but it's not actually hers as far as I know, I haven't gotten around to ID'ing it yet >u<

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


A whole bunch of G4 brushables, all doubles of course. They have really nice hair though so I'm wondering if they're from the older waves? *shrugs* The Pinkies will probably end up being customized since I have a ton of them oml

Two Pinkie Pie plushies

And finally, part of the GoH movie playset! Sadly a lot of the pieces are missing, but it's in great condition and it was only $3 at a thrift store. This is gonna look so cool hung from the ceiling like I have my pony helicopter hung >u< Such great display potential.

MLP Nirvana / Set Complete! Mexican Prince Ruby Has Arrived
« on: October 30, 2019, 10:35:34 AM »
A few weeks ago (with some assistance from some lovely pony people on Discord who spotted him for me), I was able to win the last Mexican Prince pony I needed to complete my set, Principito Rubi/Prince Ruby <3 I had to get up at five in the morning to bid on him, but I was lucky enough to get the winning bid for only $15 + shipping! He arrived safely this morning from Mexico, packaged extremely well, and he is absolutely gorgeous. I could not be happier with him. He marks my first complete G1 set!

Pony Brag Arena / This Week's Brag: Love Melody!
« on: October 14, 2019, 01:22:03 PM »
Yesterday I got a text from my local antique mall. One of the vendors had brought in a lot of 18 ponies and wanted to make me a deal. Naturally, I was extremely excited! Unfortunately, upon arriving at the mall this morning, I found that one had already been sold and the rest were priced extremely high at 10-15$ per pony! D: As for the 'deal', the seller wanted 80$ for the entire lot, which was quite a bit higher than I was willing to go, especially since only a few of them were uncommon. Most of them were fairly common (Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, pretty discolored Moondancer and Baby Moondancer, etc), with the exception of three Princesses, Fizzy, and the only pony I ended up buying...

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


...this absolutely gorgeous Love Melody for $7 <3 Ironically, she was probably the only pony there who would've been worth the $10+, and she was one of the cheapest! Look at that beautiful pink hair and nearly flawless paint  :lovey:

It's a shame I couldn't bring home the whole lot, but it was just too expensive for me. However, I'm extremely pleased with Love Melody! She was well worth it!

MLP Nirvana / Prince Emerald <3
« on: October 01, 2019, 01:48:54 PM »
This boy arrived today! Principito Esmeralda, aka Prince Emerald <3 The wonderful seller that I got Prince Sapphire from also had an Emerald. Initially I had decided not to buy him and just get Sapphire, but I eventually caved and decided to get Emerald as well!

I now own two out of three of the Mexican Princes, and I only need Ruby to have a complete set <3 Here's hoping I can find him soon!

Also, I had made him a little eye patch per the suggestion of someone on Discord (since his eye paint is scratched on that side), and it looks super cute on him!

And as a bonus, some pics of Sapphire and Emerald together! Emerald's doing a lot of leaning on Sapphire here since he can't stand up on his own <3

Pony Brag Arena / This Week's Brag: Massive Birthday Brag!
« on: September 26, 2019, 04:15:02 PM »
Today's my 22nd birthday, and as a sort of present, my family took me to the city (aka OKC) to go pony hunting! And I had the most AMAZING day ever.

You'll see why in a second! but firstly, I wanna share my birthday gifts from my wonderful little sister, who drew me this beautiful card with Ice Crystal and Applejack, two my of faves! (She's aware she forgot the 'r' in Birthday, but apparently she was up until 1am last night trying to learn how to draw G1s ;A; She's such a sweetheart.) She also bought Dollar General out the rest of the blind bags they had!

Next I wanna share this super-neat find from our local antique store!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Annnnd I found a Blossom retro Mashem at another Dollar General.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login



SO now that those have been done...um...yep, I had a fantastic day.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


That's everything I got today in one big pile. It was all from two shops, if you can believe it! One of the shops was a toy shop that had been recommended to me by a lovely cashier at Goodwill. There were literal huge bins of ponies for 1-3$ each, and I had to limit myself or else I'd have gone broke! I did get the few G1 stuff they had though <3

So first, the G1s!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


My sister spotted the three So-Softs for me in a little thrift store/antique store sort of thing! They were a bit pricier, but I was so ecstatic <3 The Butterscotch is a flat foot and was found in a bin for $2.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Loyal Subjects AJ for $2! My sister also bought the Minty they had so she wouldn't be left behind.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


ALL the G3s. I should mention that these were all $2 a piece. So I went a little crazy! I got soooo many wishlist G3s.

Stylin' Size StarCatcher!

I have no idea what this is from but it's neat! It plays music.

G4s! The Vinyl Scratch funko was the only other thing I got from the thrift store, everything else was from the toy store. She's missing her tail but she was too cool to pass up.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Wishlist Blind Bags and Ponyville Flippity Flop!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


This super cute fakie...

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And last but not least, this Popple! The nice man who was running the toy shop actually gave it to me for free as a birthday gift <3 It's in such nice condition too!

I'll probably post more pics once everything's cleaned, but gosh...I'm gonna be real busy for awhile haha!

Pony Brag Arena / UPDATE! This...Month's Brag! So many pony things...
« on: September 20, 2019, 11:18:43 AM »
I have been extremely lazy with posting images of my finds this past month >.< This is hardly a proper show-off but I know that if I procrastinate on it any longer, it'll never get done! So anyways, here are all my misc. pony finds/buys over the last couple months <3

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Big ol' pile of pony goodness!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


A bunch of plushies, two DVDs and one Fashion Style Pinkie <3 The three Twilight plushies were found at a local thrift store, the Twilight purse, DVDs, Pinkie FS and Pinkie newborn plush were found at Goodwill, and the RBD plush was found at the local antique mall! Interesting fact; that bigger Twilight Plush is handmade! I thought she was rather odd looking when I couldn't find a tag or evidence of one (at first I thought she was a clever fakie plush), but then I realized all her seams were hand-stitched. It's especially noticeable on her legs and wings. Very neat find for $3!

Peri Winkle and two McD's CMCs! Peri Winkle was found at Goodwill and the CMCs were found at a local thrift store.

All the blind bags I've bought over the last few months <3 The Sweetie Belle Fashem is the only second-hand find (she was found at our local antique mall). The rest were purchased from the Dollar General just down the road! They still have quite a few of the Wave 22 Blind Bags left, so I've been dropping in every so often and picking a couple up. So far I haven't gotten any doubles, which has been nice! The Butterscotch Retro Fashem was also found at another local Dollar General.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


And last but not least, today I got a rather unexpected surprise upon visiting Hobby Lobby; three packs of G3.5 stickers, just sitting right there on the sticker rack in plain sight! I'm guessing they never sold and nobody bothered to take them off the shelf, so they've been there a good 9 years at this point >u<

---

As for upcoming pony news, I have a G1 Cuddles on the way here! I got her cheap off eBay after I watched the poor gal sit there forever. I couldn't resist giving her a home <3 I also have some exciting news! The owner of my local antique mall readily agreed to give me first notice whenever anyone brings ponies in, and she has a lady who says she has a bunch of ponies (including G1s!) at her home. The lady said she'd be happy to dig them out and bring them in so I can buy them from her. Hopefully I'll be getting a call about that soon!

Tomorrow I plan to go to some garage sales for pony-hunting, so wish me luck!

UPDATE 9/21:

Pony hunting was a success today!

It would seem I have a lot of things to show off this week! I went to some garage sales, a flea market, and two antique stores today! Here are my finds from those, plus a little pony mail brag towards the end <3

(The Lalaloopsy is going to be heading to a new home on Monday!)

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


First up, a G1 puzzle, my first G1 find this month! This was found for $10 at a little flea market in a neighboring town. I've never really found anything there, so imagine my surprise when I saw that lovely rainbow peeking out from behind a Sesame Street puzzle box! $10 is more than I would usually pay for a puzzle, but I couldn't pass it up. The puzzle itself is in pristine condition and the only wear and tear is on the outer edges of the box.

Kevin doll for $2 from an antique store! He is so lovely, I adore his eyes and the outfit <3 I'm a little bummed that he's missing one of his shoes; I'll have to find a replacement.

Sylveon plush from a garage sale

Grand Champions, also from a garage sale! These three, the Sylveon, and the Lalaloopsy only cost me $4 total. I had the stallion with the buttons when I was younger, and this one still works! They all cleaned up pretty nicely, too.

And last but not least...Cuddles! I bought her off eBay for $6 and free shipping. I'm pretty sure she was priced low because of all the marks she had on her NDS. Luckily I was correct in thinking they were all surface marks, and they came right out! She's a bit tipsy but otherwise lovely with only one little pink mark on her shoulder that wouldn't come out. I tried to preserve her factory curls, but her hair was just too gross not to wash so unfortunately they were partially messed up.

Pony Brag Arena / Pony Mail - Sniffles!
« on: September 19, 2019, 05:12:39 PM »
A few days ago, I got a great deal on Sniffles from a seller on Bonanza. I was really excited because I'd wanted him for awhile, but it was difficult to find him for sale at a reasonable price and in good condition. He arrived safely this morning! I was extremely pleased with how the seller had packaged him, and he's even nicer in person than he was on the listing! His paint is pretty much pristine, and he still has such lovely pink hair <3

« on: September 17, 2019, 03:35:47 PM »
Hey there! I finally got around to making a sale/trade thread <3

[General Information]

- I will only ship in the US for now, apologies <3

- I charge exact shipping. Shipping is not included in the prices listed!

- I will take either Paypal or money orders!

- I might be willing to haggle on prices as long as it's a reasonable offer. I'm still new to selling/trading so I might not have gotten accurate pricing on everything!

- For trades I am mostly looking for ponies I don't have, especially ones on my wishlist! It's still not quite up to date though, so please just offer, if you'd like!

- In addition to the things listed here, I can also do art in exchange for ponies! Examples can be found on my deviantART profile, and on my Instagram.

For CMCs, I'm mostly looking to trade for ones I don't have. Only looking for ponies, no Equestria Girls! Here are the ones I do have:
Wave 3 Princess Cadance
Wave 3 DJ Pon-3
Wave 4 Seapony Fluttershy
Wave 4 Spike
Wave 4 Pony Rainbow Dash

Arts & Crafts Corral / Free To Use Big Brother Lineart + More!
« on: September 11, 2019, 09:01:37 PM »
I was designing a Big Brother t-shirt for myself, and decided to make the piece a blank lineart as well for others to use! As a quick note, I traced the general outline from a pic of my own Steamer, and the rest of the details (mane/tail, bandanna, etc) were all done by hand from scratch <3

Feel free to use it for anything as long as proper credit is given and my signature isn't removed!

Edit: Made another using the same method as the last, this time based off Baby Whirly Twirl!

Pony Corral / The Complete List of Male Ponies
« on: September 10, 2019, 08:19:44 PM »
When I first began collecting and learned about the Big Brother ponies at the ripe ol' age of eight, I set my collection goal - to collect all the male ponies Hasbro made. I finally decided to get around to making a complete list of them, and thought I'd share!

A few notes:

+ I am only including ponies. This list won't include male non-pony creatures, such as the pony friends, dragons, Discord, etc.
+ G1 and G2 were organized by set names, but I organized G4 by merch types because there are waaaay too many blind bags to do set names haha
+ G4 is again a little complicated because there are so many re-releases and different versions, particularly with the blind bags. I opted to just list the pony's name under each of the categories that they've been produced in.
+ I may have missed a couple, particularly in the Nirvana category because I'm still fairly unfamiliar with them. Also I've been staring at this list for so long I might have just forgotten one. Please feel free to post additions and I'll add them to the list!
