I have been home alone for a few days this week and my god...I have watched a LOT of Netflix/TV in general. I think I've pretty much exhausted everything. My top series that I would recommend, if you haven't seen them are: Dark - German mystery/kind of sci-fi - VERY complex, intelligent and interesting. Great characters and fantastic dubbing if you're not into subtitles or speak German! Pose - Trans ball scene in NY 80's/90's. Series 2 out now - beautiful characters, costumes, great soundtrack. Handmaid's Tale - Very dark, dystopian future. A little bit too close to home at times with the way the world is going! Sex Education - Brilliant British humour with an American twist. Gillian Anderson. Need I say more. Chernobyl - Fantastic and unexpected True Detective - Anthology series. Amazing. Watch 1 & 3, 2 was very poor! Big Little Lies - Amazing cast and surprisingly dark. Not like Pretty Little Liars if that's what you're thinking of! Set in Monterey which is beautiful. The OA - I loved it, it's weird. Seems to be like marmite - you love it or hate it! Please note I do have a life and I haven't watched all of these in just the past week, I have left the house!  Share your other series recommendations if you have any!

So I’m on Instagram and we have a very active pony community on there. I love getting to know people on IG, seeing their collections evolve and posting pony photos. There’s a lot of crossover between social media and the Arena, but it’s not always easy to work out who is who, especially if usernames are different. So if you have a pony Instagram account, share it here so we follow each other! It would be nice to recognise some names/faces on there from the Arena  Mine is: @little_starglow

I’m on a bit of a buying hiatus now. I’m having pony withdrawal, but it is my birthday in a month so that’s the perfect excuse to hunt down some of my want-list after July payday!
What was the last pony you bought and why? I’m curious to see what ponies and which gen people are actively seeking and buying nowadays!

I have a UK Gypsy with a chunk of hair missing but I can't work out what colour hair to order from Dollyhair! Has anyone ordered hair for a Gypsy before that's been a match? Looking at the website I was thinking Nectarine or Jack o Lantern but I'd rather not waste money ordering hair that isn't right given how expensive shipping is! I also had a look at Retrodolls but their colours are more limited and there's nothing that seems even close, so Dollyhair is my best bet I think  Thanks in advance guys!

I saw someone get some G1 pony tattoos on Instagram and it got me thinking...what would make a good pony tattoo? I love the G1 artwork and the tattoos I saw were incredibly well done, but I don’t know if I would want to get a whole pony tattooed.
Pony symbols could be a good alternative - it wouldn’t be obvious what the tattoo was relating to unless you were a collector but not would be a cute homage to pony collecting!
My favourite pony is Starglow but her symbol of a piano and candlestick doesn’t really relate to me at all (I’m not musical in the slightest), so ...I’m not sure how good a tattoo it would make. But it got me thinking - what pony symbols would work well as tattoos, and which ones wouldn’t?
Also, I would love to see any pony tattoos you have!

Please use this thread to share your confirmed hair colour matches for Nylon hair from Retrodolls US and Retrodolls UK. It would also be helpful to share any hair colours that were a close, but not exact match and also hair that is definitely not a match so that they can be ruled out. Bear in mind that original 80's hair will fade slightly so in some cases may look different to new hair, even if it is the correct colour.
Retrodolls US Confirmed Matches:
Sonic Lime - Surprise, Honeycomb, Rainbow pony yellow stripe
Buttercup- Applejack, Daddy Apple Delight
Limerick Low Temp - Raspberry Jam, Scrumptious
Retrodolls UK Confirmed Matches
Shamrock- Lavender Lace forelock, possibly Seashell
Buttercup - Rosette's yellow stripe
Lemon Drop - Vanilla Treat, Brilliant Blossoms
Partial Matches
Pink Sapphire - close to baby Tic Tac Toe's purple, but a tint lighter
Vert - close to Tutti Frutti's green, but less blueish, more deep green
Paradise (poly) - close match to curly Bowtie's pink

Retrodolls/Dollyhair Equivalents
Sasperilla- brighter version of old bubblegum
peridot- guacamole (very close)
Eden- sea nymph
Amethyst- Bourgainvilla
Peacock & Petroleum- darker versions of atomic turquoise
Canary- Napalm

Mardi Gras- Candy Kiss
Uluru- Cherry Pie
Gooseberry- lighter tone of key lime
Sapphire Gin- close to bobby blue (this is a "brilliant" color)
Blue Glacier- ("Brilliant color"), lighter shade to water nixie

Many months ago I saw some prototype customs by Isabella (aka Pandabearchan on here) and I just had to have one! She is the first ever custom I have bought as I’m not really into ponies that aren’t Hasbro but for Isabella’s work I had to make an exception. Her customs looked seriously amazing and so ‘factory’...needless to say when this beauty arrived I was not disappointed! Meet Prototype Tuneful: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginShe is soooo cool! Isabella was so kind and even included some really thoughtful extras...including this custom guitar to go with her! She looks so real I had trouble convincing my other half that she was a custom She is now sitting pride of place with my other Rockin Beats...they are finally complete! There’s also a video of her on my Instagram if anyone wants to see her up close

So I was stalking eBay the other day, as we all do and I came across some hilariously bad, but quite endearing sea pony photos. See below  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI feel like we should run a caption competition for them or something! They look like they either photobombed a shoot or just got out of bed seriously they had me stitches. Has anyone else has got any other auction photos that are so bad, they’re good?

So last week my friend visited Paris for a few days and found an amazing 80’s toy shop which sold, amongst other things, lots of My Little Ponies! My friend texted me while she was there and said that she had bought me a present, as well as some things for herself! The photos of the shop she sent me were so cool - it was literally floor to ceiling cabinets of 80’s toys. So when she said she bought a pony for me, I did not expect her to turn up to work today with this: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI was absolutely floored!! I was not expecting a MIB pony, she is so kind! I tried to insist that I should give her some money for it as it was just too generous but she wouldn’t let me - I think this is going to be my birthday present and Christmas present for a few years I can’t believe I actually own a MIB pony. I’m a teacher and he’s been sat on my desk all day - the students were fascinated that it was from 1989 because *gasp* that was aaaaages ago! Way to make me feel old kids I am so lucky to have a MIB pony and even luckier to have such a kind, generous and thoughtful friend
