Pony Corral / What Happened to Dream Valley?
« on: March 27, 2023, 08:12:46 PM »
I've been meaning to ask this question for quite some time...

I began online collecting adventures in 1999, when Dream Valley was the #1 guide on the Internet for G1 MLP.  I sustained itself as the top hit on Google for "My Little Pony" for years, and in the hayday of the MLPTP, everyone used its images for referencing and wish lists.

I was out of the collecting realm roughly from 2006-2013.  And at some point, Dream Valley had just vanished!  I know that sometimes, web developers just don't want to maintain their sites anymore, but I can't help but wonder if there was more backstory to this?? I remember the site owner as having an entire network of her own websites, in what could almost be considered "ahead of her time" fashion.

Does anyone know anything further about its disappearance?

Pony Corral / Is anyone currently making resin Lil Litters babies?
« on: February 27, 2023, 08:22:31 PM »
I'm trying to find someone who makes clones of the Lil Litters babies from resin...if anyone knows anyone, please LMK, especially if their work is on Instagram!

Pony Corral / Resin Moulds & Hasbro Design Patents
« on: November 14, 2021, 05:13:37 PM »
Hi pony friends!

Quick question: I'm interested in getting into resin crafting, because I love things like custom Li'l Litters babies and custom Petite Ponies.  I've seen resin artists producing these for sale, and am interested in creating some of my own - sales, TBD! :)

However, my only concern is whether or not commercial reproduction of Hasbro's design violates any design patents?? Or, have their patents on these early 90s toys long since expired? 

I guess I'm hoping there may be a MLP fan here who is also a laywer :)

Pony Corral / Anniversary Series - Still Ongoing?
« on: August 26, 2021, 03:29:36 PM »
Hi everyone!  I've been out of the collecting loop for a while lately...just been busy  :)  Is the Hasbro 20th anniversary series still ongoing?  I've been ever hopeful to see new Petite Ponies or Li'l Litters come out...they were definitely 1991 and that means 20 years now :blush: Has anyone heard a buzz about what may be coming out of their pipeline?

Pony Corral / For the Petite Fans - Italian Stamper Full Collection!
« on: October 20, 2020, 12:24:03 PM »
This is x-posted to the brag Arena - hope that's OK! :) Mods please delete if I'm breaking a rule here.  I am just so excited to share about this with fellow Petite fans!

I am an avid Petite Pony collector, having begun my collection in 1990 when I was only 6, and roundabout the early 2000s I learned of the mysterious "stamper Petites" aka "Italian Petites" by way of Silverdawn's Petite Pocket website.  I was determined to one day find them for my own collection, and I scoured the web for more information on them to little avail.  From what I could tell, it was unknown how many colors, moulds, and sets were ever produced.

Well...now I can answer that :)  There were 8 colors produced, each color made in 4 moulds, for a total of 8 sets of 4 / 32 individual ponies.  I stumbled upon a single MIB set on Ebay, from an Italian seller, and following my purchase, she asked me if I would be interested in the other 7 sets.  :shocked: WOULD I.

And with that...here are my photos!  I am absolutely willing to share them with anyone who has a Petite Pony guide website and would like to make their guide more thorough.

First, here's the lineup on their new shelf  ^.^

The plastic bubbles were yellowed, thus distorting the colors of the ponies underneath...but I freed them (please don't kill me, MIP collectors!), so those photos will follow.

All the backs are the same.  If anyone likes collecting packaging, I have seven empty packages that I'd be happy to disperse to other collectors who would like one.

The mould for the right-facing pony is a little "off" in some sets - a few ponies' faces look a tad melty  :P

And yet others looked just fine.

Some of their symbols are very lightly printed as well.

I realize I forgot to take photos of their stamper bottoms, so I can add those later, or provide better close-ups of the rump symbols if anyone is interested!  :)

Pony Brag Arena / Motherlode of Italian Stamper Petite Ponies Acquired!
« on: October 17, 2020, 07:59:44 AM »
Let me just begin by saying: I am still in shock over the stroke of luck I had in acquiring these for my collection.  Thrilled is an understatement!  :lol:

I am an avid Petite Pony collector, having begun my collection in 1990 when I was only 6, and roundabout the early 2000s I learned of the mysterious "stamper Petites" aka "Italian Petites" by way of Silverdawn's Petite Pocket website.  I was determined to one day find them for my own collection, and I scoured the web for more information on them to little avail.  From what I could tell, it was unknown how many colors, moulds, and sets were ever produced.

I basically gifted these rarities unto myself, after several months of personal heartache that I won't get into.  I told myself "I deserve these," put in a little extra time at the home office, and splurged for the entire lineup.  It took two weeks for the box to make it to me...WORTH IT  :biggrin:

And with that...here are my photos!  I am absolutely willing to share them with anyone who has a Petite Pony guide website and would like to make their guide more thorough.

Pony Corral / Can someone in GERMANY or Europe help me with a purchase? :)
« on: October 08, 2020, 07:39:30 AM »
Hello!  I apologize if this is the incorrect forum under which to post this.

I am hoping someone in GERMANY (or nearby) can help me.  I am trying to purchase a collectible toy item off the app "Shpock" (which works primarily on mobile devices and connects through Google / Paypal - very easy to use app though I am not sure how well-known it is.)

I made an offer for a collectible toy to the seller, who counter-offered, citing the high cost of shipping from Germany to the US.  I accepted his counter-offer, and then he dropped the potential sale entirely on me! :(  The app will not allow me to communicate any further negotiations, which is very frustrating.

I suspect that the seller wishes to ship locally.  Is there anyone who would be willing to work with me and help me get the item? :)  If so, please comment / message me!!  I am a good buyer and will pay all shipping costs both from the seller to you and then from you to me if you're willing to help!  I also have feedback on Ebay, the Vintage Littlest pet Shop Forum, and here if you wish to see my credentials.  I use Paypal.

Pretty please - hoping someone can help me! :)

Pony Corral / Will there ever be a G2 of Lil Litters?
« on: June 25, 2020, 12:56:44 PM »
Hey everyone!  Hopefully it's okay to post about Lil Litter's in this forum.  Just curious if anyone has heard any buzz about Hasbro releasing a new wave of Lil Litters with their rollout of anniversary ponies and such?  Alternatively, any talk of this from HQG1C?  (I already have a Bella...hoping they produce a puppy & bunny mom in the future!)
