MLP Nirvana / Do you ever Nirvana binge??
« on: June 25, 2012, 07:50:16 PM »
I have to ask everyone, have you even gone on a Nirvana bender where you've bought a few in a short amount of time?  Honestly, I never thought that it would happen to me, considering how infrequently Argie Wingers come up for sale.  But this past month alone, there have been so many of them that have hit eBay - I could hardly contain myself.  As of last night, I have a staggering 4 Argie wingers en route to my home and 1 that has already arrived.  Yikes...
So tell me, who else has binged on Nirvana ponies when the getting is good?  I know I'm not alone in my spending spree (am I??).  Please share your stories with me and make me feel not so bad.

She was rehaired with Poison Ivy and Ultra Violet.  The wings were a gift from a dear friend here:)

Pony Corral / It's time for another Would You Rather?
« on: May 27, 2012, 02:38:33 PM »
It's about that time for another round of "Would You Rather".  In case you forgot the rules, here they are:
You need to pick 1 and only 1 scenario, and no amending either scenario.  Taobao, eBay and stealing are not options.  Neither is selling product designs to Mattel or any other toy maker.  Or using your own money to manufacture toys.

Imagine the year is 1986: You're driving along in your Chevy Celebrity blasting New Order's Bizare Love Triangle on tape deck.  You're rocking your favorite Don Johnson blazer and your high top Reebok kicks.  Instead of pulling a 'Ferris Buller", you are actually on your way into work.  You're gainfully employed at Hasbro's product development and you're working on a new line of Twinkle Eyed and Big Brother ponies.  The problem is, the big wigs at Hasbro are experiencing a sales slump, and one of your new product lines needs to be shelved indefinitely. So which line will never see production?   Would you rather save Twinkle Eyes from year 5 from eradication  or Big Brothers?

There can be only one!!!!

Wanted! / Michelle's looking for.....(in case you couldn't guess)
« on: May 27, 2012, 01:04:12 PM »
I am most interested in Argie Moon Jumper.  If you have her, or know someone who is looking to sell, let me know ASAP.  I don't care about her condition, as long as she has all her limbs, a head and a body.  She is my #1 most wanted pony and I will pay dearly for her.

As always, I am on the hunt for baity and sad looking wingers; no wings, no hair, the ick-factor are not a problem.  I am currently buying grimy wingers only right now. 

I am looking for Breezies, but not as actively as wingers:)  Thank you!!

MLP Nirvana / I am looking for Argie wingers
« on: May 04, 2012, 06:43:39 PM »
Hello all!

I am rapidly coming upon 100 wingers in my collection, and to mark the occasion, I am actively seeking to add another Argie Moon Jumper to the herd!  I am not a picky collector at all, and will gladly welcome any Argie winger that is manky, hairless, wingless, ink stained, etc.  At the moment, I am not interested in MOC because I will decard them and would much rather save the few out there for you guys:)  If you have any Argie winger, or really any wingers at all, that are in need of some TLC, I can and will provide them with a warm and loving forever home.  Please drop me a pm if you have one or know where I might be able to find one:) 

Lots of love to all,
Michelle

Pony Corral / You're not going to believe this!!!
« on: April 22, 2012, 08:56:50 AM »
Ok, you know those days when really random things happen?  That happened to me this morning on my way home.  I pulled down my street, and guess what I saw???  A MLP sitting on a mailbox.  No, really!!  I literally turned the car around to drive by again.  All I could tell was that she was a pink G3 MLP.  There was a U-Haul in the driveway, and a man sitting in the van, I asked him if he wanted the pony, he said we could have it!  My daughter jumped out of the car, snatched her off the mail box and got back in the cat.  We were all squealing:)  Here she is:

It's Strawberry Reef!!!!  My oldest daughter wanted to clean her up, and here she is all washed and combed:)

I found a pony on the side of the road.  I mean, when does that happen?!  Poor girlie was a wet and covered in grass and twigs:(  She has obviously been played with because she still has dirty spots that won't come off.  But still.....unreal right?!  I wanted to get a picture of her on the mailbox, but the man in the driveway might have thought that was a little odd.

MLP Nirvana / Restorations
« on: April 20, 2012, 01:34:04 PM »
So I've been doing some restoration work on my Argies.  Most of my Argies were missing a significant amount of hair plugs, as well having really terrible hair!  I don't know how everyone feels about adding hair, but I simply had to do it.  I did not remove ANY of the original hair, instead, I added hair to the existing manes/tail.  I was leery about doing this, but they look beyond amazing now.  If I ever want to remove the added hair, it will be easy to do.  I am currently looking for another Moon Jumper, if anyone has one they are looking to sell, please let me know! 

Enjoy the pictures:

Customs / Starry Wings
« on: April 15, 2012, 02:45:07 PM »
I might be kicked out of the Arena for this one.   I have an especially sad pony that I've been holding out on fixing.  As soon as I saw the wings EmberBright sent me in the Swap box, I knew they were destined for a manky, but special pony.

She was apart of a baity lot of ponies I bought off eBay a while ago.  She didn't look so bad in the photo, but when she arrived home, she was in DREADFUL shape.  Her mane and tail had glue in it.  Legit glue that I tried my best, but I could not remove.  I though maybe I could use a flat iron, but that made it worse.  So I had to cut it out of her hair, and it physically hurt me to do it.  This is what she looked like:(

I bought DH Hot Lips with the intention of using that to rehair her, but that all changed when I received my little swap box!  Inside was After Midnight and these:

I knew what I had to do!  So, running the risk of being ostracized from the pony community, I made the ultimate decision to give SW a drastic (very drastic) new look:

Here she is with her new hair and wings:

These pictures do not capture how drop-dead gorgeous she is now.  I know that some of you will want to punch me in the face for changing her, but I think that she is the MOST beautiful pony I've ever seen.  I haven't decided how to style her hair, but I think I might keep it straight and long.  Any suggestions?

Customs / Choose a hair color!***Update!!***
« on: April 10, 2012, 03:18:24 PM »
So it looks like we had a clear winner....Envy!!  So appropriate for me, because I am so *envious* of Pythia's incredible Poison Ivy rehair.

Without further delay....here she is:

And the most shocking of all.  If you really don't like big mane changes, look away now!




Ready???

I cannot express my initial reservations about this.  However, I decided to just go for it, and I am really digging her 'rocker chic' color! 

Thanks everyone for voting and checking out my girlies!!

Pony Corral / I am a pony addict
« on: April 04, 2012, 07:56:59 AM »
Hi Arena.  My name is Michelle, and I am addicted to My Little Ponies.  It all started for me a few years ago when I discovered I could buy ponies from the 80's on eBay.  Since then, my addiction has spiraled out of control.  My herd went from 2 ponies to 60 in a few short years.  I have spent countless hours on the Arena talking and reading about ponies.  I have canceled plans with friends and loved ones so I don't miss the end of an eBay auction I am bidding on.  My mail lady knows me by my first name.  I tell myself that I buy G4's only for my children, but I am the one who is obsessed with them.  I knelt on the grimy McDonalds floor so I could pry open the McD's pony display to get the 4 that I was missing.  I can write My Little Pony in several different languages.  I get alerts on my iPhone from eBay whenever a new 'My Little Pony Argentina', 'My Little Pony Summer Wing', 'My Little Pony Windy Wing' and even 'My Little Pony Wing' listing comes up.  I literally jump out of my seat when ANY mail delivery truck comes into my neighborhood.  I taught myself how to rehair, with the goal of not limiting my pony options.  I showed my mother how to identify Blind Bag numbers, and I carry around in my purse a identification key code for all the BB waves.  My husband picked up a pink pony the other day and called it by the correct name.  I have run out of room to display my ponies.  I procrastinate doing work I need to finish my Master's degree so I can browse on the Arena, MLPTP, eBay and now Taobao.  I have gone into debt for ponies.  I have even stooped to the point where I am missing time out of work to drive around to different stores, looking for ponies.  I buy ponies that other Arena members are looking for so I can send them out as gifts.  I deliberately try to run out of shampoo and body wash so it gives me an excuse to go to Target with the sole intention of looking for ponies.  Even I think that I am insane.   
In order to help slow my addiction, I joined the 30 day challenge.  Don't ask how that is going for me:(   

Holy cannoli, I have gone off the deep end.  So tell me, am I the only one who is obsessed?  Please make me feel better by sharing your pony stories.

Pony Corral / Curly or Straight?
« on: March 30, 2012, 08:00:08 AM »
Hi friends,
 
 My name is Glow, and I came to my new home with absolutely no hair at all.  Lucky for me, there was plenty of Dolly Hair Nickel color just waiting for me:)

 My new mom gave me curls, but she's not entirely sold on them.  What you you all think?  Curls or super straight?

 I don't have any straight haired pictures to show off, but maybe you can imagine me with long straight hair.
