Pony Brag Arena / New Brag! Awesome Ebay finds!
« on: September 09, 2018, 02:27:41 AM »
A couple of weeks ago I bought a small lot from German eBay and yesterday it finally arrived! I am super excited!

These two beauties with accessories;

And German Baby Glory and Baby Moondancer with matted symbols. They are both so adorable :inlove:

And last, but not least - the whole reason for me bidding on this lot in the first place- Baby CJ  :yippee:

Years ago I sold my first Baby CJ and regretted it almost immediately. I never found her again with a price tag I could afford. But then this lot came up, and she is just PERFECT! She is in mint condition, only one tiny little red/orangey pen mark that is hardly noticeable on her. She still has some factory curl left too. She is pure cuteness!!

I also found white Tootsie in another lot, at a local
BST site. She needs a wash, but looks really nice  :)

Pony Corral / PC on newborn twins with accessories (and German babies)
« on: September 08, 2018, 02:26:07 PM »
Hi all,

Can anyone help with PC’s on the following :
Bunkie (mint)
Speckles (one eye scratch- near mint)
Yellow snail rocker (perfect)
Bluegreen snail rocker (perfect)

I also have German baby Glory and baby Moondancer (without glittery symbols). Last time I checked (a couple of years ago) I think they were around 20$. Is this still the case? They are both in nice played with condition, but Glory unfortunately has some pen marks on her NON-display side (at the side of her hooves).

Thanks! :)

Pony Corral / The Story of Fables? (G1 Fable Ponies!)
« on: August 18, 2018, 11:07:52 AM »
What is the story about Fable Ponies? I’ve been trying to do some research on this set, but the research is a little bit contradicting. Especially regarding which ponies actually belonged to this set. I realize that there might be a very good reason why I can’t find any clear answer to this (that we do not know for sure), but I am still curious! Maybe someone here at the Arena sits on some quirky detail that might solve the mystery. Or maybe it isn’t such a mystery after all and my researching skills are just extremely flawed :lol:

I think I know this at least (with emphasis on think- please correct any mistakes if you see them :blush:):

Fable Ponies were released in Sweden, Norway, Denmark(?), Finland (?) and other European countries(would love more info on which countries!). They were also released in Australia and South Africa. The set has the following ponies:

Moondancer (yellow)
Gusty (glittery symbol, green eyes)
Firefly (curly hair)
Skyflier
Powder (a lighter shade of purple)
Surprise
Heartthrob
Sparkler

I also read that some countries (such as Sweden) did not have a release of Glory and Medley with this set. Is that true for all countries the Fable Pony set were released? And what about Moondancer- was she always yellow in this set? No hint of any white Moondancers?

Which leads to a bigger question: Do we know if the Fable Pony set was the same in all countries it was released?

« on: August 14, 2018, 03:14:56 PM »

So I have identified the following from the lots:

Sundance and Lightheart from the Birthday Magic set
Ivy
Princess Ivy

Jazzy
Rocky
Miss Painter

Pony Corral / G3’s most sought after ponies?
« on: August 07, 2018, 03:05:18 AM »
I am the first to admit, I don’t know that much about G3s. I don’t collect them, but I do have a couple of them. Most are still sitting in a plastic bin to be honest. I did use to pick them up at thrift stores and fleamarkets, but since it is so difficult to sell and/trade them these days I stopped doing that- I don’t have room for them :( I still *might* pick up one if I like it enough to keep it for myself- after all, they are ponies. They are adorable :P

Looking through the brag forum got me thinking though. There are a lot of you collecting G3, and I am sure there are ponies that are more sought after than others. I am a big “bring the ponies back to collectors” - kind of girl, so I thought I should ask you all:

Which G3 ponies are most sought after?

Pony Corral / Show and/or tell me about your Bedtime Newbons!
« on: August 05, 2018, 04:35:44 AM »
I never was that interested in the later G1 releases. As a child, my favorites were always the releases of the first couple of years and I never really liked the gimmicky later releases with bright colors. The last ponies I remember I thought were AWESOME were the Windy Wings. On the other hand I used to think Fancy Pants babies were taking it too far away from the originals :lol:

Coming back to collecting as an adult I sought out the first years of G1, and never checked out the releases after 1990 much. Trying to find advertisements on the first couple of years of MLP I stumbled upon an ad from 1993 (from a Norwegian Donald Duck comic from March 1993). It’s actually the first time I found any excitement of the later G1 releases- because there those adorable Bedtime Newborn were featured! I never knew they were releases in Norway, but obviously they were :)

So, what can you guys tell me about these cuties? And do you have any pictures? I especially like the little blue one with stars and pink hair :inlove:
She is not in the ad,though :huh:

The Dollhouse / Hornby Flower Fairies
« on: August 02, 2018, 03:10:10 AM »
Anyone have any of these beauties? I remember having at least two of them as a kid (heliotrope and the blue one). Both dolls got lost over the years- I never liked them that much as I thought they all looked more or less the same :lookround: I still have the badger though, I loved stuffed animals- and of course, I freed him from the saddle- so I don’t have that unfortunately. I do have some of the fairy clothes though.

I try to look them up, and I did see a bunch of them for sale. Many of them MOC, so a little too expensive.

Pony Corral / Set completion- do you collect them all?
« on: July 31, 2018, 10:09:40 AM »
Set completion isn’t really my thing. I’ve never collected with that in mind. So imagine my surprise when I actually felt ecstatic when realizing I had not one, but two complete sets in front of me :party:

I suddenly understood the fun in completing sets!

So, what do you do? Collect to complete sets or not? Why/why not? And regardless of collecting- what is your favorite set? The one you really like the most? And please, spread the pony love - post your pictures!!

(Truth be told, not ALL these ponies are mine. I might have kidnapped some from my sisters collection*shameful*. But it is almost the same as my own:P)

To all you knowledgeable pony peeps! :biggrin:

I’ve been searching the forum for what seems like forever, but I’m obviously doing something wrong because I can’t seem to find the answer I’m looking for. Can anyone please help me out with the difference between Baby Firefly with forelock and Baby Firefly without forelock. I have them both, but can’t for the life of me remember what it was with the one without forelock.

I remember reading something about it years ago, but can’t seem to find back to that information.... >_<

Edit: So, I’ve been searching a little, and I’ve found enough pictures of baby Firefly without forelock to think that she isn’t that uncommon. However, after studying them closely I’m also convinced that they are two different releases. The one without forelock also has a fraction bigger symbol(both longer and wider), and her pink is a little more muted somehow. It isn’t quite the same color (although it is not very noticeable).

The baby with forelock is identical to the one I had as a kid, which came in a box (I think! I have no real memories of getting her, but I did have some of the accessories that came with baby Firefly). Since baby Firefly also was sold on card in Norway, I am inclined to think that the one without forelock actually is the card version (Both these girls were found at flea markets in Norway).

But all this is just speculation from my side- I would appreciate ANY additional information or someone else’s speculations to be added to my own :P


I also added pictures for you all, because who can resist finding out something interesting about these two cuties ;)

Hi everyone!
Can anyone with a Flickr account explain how to findthe BBcode using an iPhone :lookround:? I have looked “everywhere”, but I can’t figure it out  :blink:

Any help is much, much appreciated! I think this has a bad influence on my brain function (and self-esteem!!!) trying to figure this out :lol: >_<

Pony Corral / Euro releases of Play and Care babies and German babies
« on: July 25, 2018, 09:14:34 AM »
Hi all!

I have a question regarding releases of these two baby sets;
Play and Care (baby Gusty, baby Ribbon etc)
German Baby ponies (Baby CJ, Baby Buttons etc)

Does anyone know if both these sets were released in Scandinavia?

I know for certain that some of the Play and Care babies were sold in Norway as baby Gusty was my sisters childhood pony. I also remember one of her friends having baby Heartthrob. But does anyone know if the whole set was sold?

Also, I found baby Buttons at a fleamarket in Norway. Which surprised me a little because I have no recollection of this set being sold in Scandinavia from when I was a kid. That doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but it would be fun to know :)

And if you do not know if they were sold in Scandinavia, perhaps you know about other countries these two sets were sold?

« on: July 25, 2018, 12:18:33 AM »

Hi!

I am selling from Norway, Europe. All payments through paypal. All prices  excl. shipping. Please PM me for a shipping quote. I will ship worldwide.

I try to describe the ponies as best as I can- but please remember that these are all pre-loved toys. There might be minor flaws that I don’t notice, but you do.  I encourage all potential buyers to read the description and look at the pictures. If you have any questions regarding the pony’s condition please do not hesitate to ask me. I am more than happy to answer any questions!

IMPORTANT: Ponies will be shipped as soon as possible, but I am working full-time AND I am a full-time student so I might not be able to ship out immediately after payment. I will however always give you an indication on when I can ship out.

Posey - 10$
This is 2nd release Posey with magenta tulips. She has still some pink in her hair (more pink in the tail than the Mane). She is found in a fleamarket in Norway so she is most likely from the infamous set with Scandinavian Truly and Cupcake (she was found together with NSS Truly). She does have some dirt marks. I don’t know if they will come off, but she is only gently washed with soap and water by me. So they might ;) Other than that she is a beautiful pony.

Heartthrob - 10$ 8$
She is beautiful. No major marks on her that I can see, but she has some faint dirt marks. Symbol is still nice. She does have some minor dryness to the ends of her tail and mane which is common for curly-haired ponies I think. She also has some minor sci-fi g to her eyes (see pictures).

Little Flitter - 12$ 10$
Beautiful pony! She does have some faint dirt marks, that might come right off with a proper wash. Her most prominent flaw is her frizzy hair. She has frizzy ends of her tail and mane. She would do good with someone who likes to de-frizz pony hair :P Her hair is also faded white. Her wings are nice!

Baby Katie - 25$
She is near mint! Her only flaw as I can tell is that she has an eye-rub to one of her eyes. You can see that in the pictures.

Play and Care Baby Heartthrob- 45$ SOLD
This is a very nice pony. I can’t find any major flaw on her. Eyes are nice, symbols too (the symbol is with wings).No marks. I also suspects she actually also still has her factory curls. They look and feel very similar to other ponies with their factory curls intact.

Steamer/Tracks -13$10$
He has mismatched colors of body and head. His tail is also faded white, but not his mane. Other than that he has no flaws I can see.

My aunt showed up with this awesome fleamarket find! She is an avid hunter for all things vintage and somehow she heard me talking about ponies. When she showed up with this lot I could hardly believe it!

Edit: After cleaning them up I also found that the one I originally thought to be Moonstone is actually Italy Moonstone. My first italian*in permanent shock*

And some close-ups of the ponies that really made my day! :biggrin:
