Hello! Feel free to call me Kal, a little 'ole collector from West Virginia, U.S.A.

I've been a member at the MLP  Trading Post for a while now, but only really active in the past few months so I decided it was time to hop over here too!

I'm a married 27 year old with an adorable 1 year old son. My husband has collected Star Wars since the 90s. I actually never watched MLP growing up--by the time I was old enough to appreciate it, it wasn't really around too much and by the time it made a comeback with G3 I was in highschool and the overly girly styling was not cool to be watching. I actually fought watching the new series until my roleplaying friends finally broke me down.

Then I watched the first episode....then the second to finish the story arch....then the third and fourth and then I had to admit that I was hooked! The interest led to me collecting plushies and blind bags from G4 until our mutual friend who owns a vintage toystore got in 4 ponies from the 80s that he was debating throwing out.

I found the MLPTP in my search to find out how to clean them properly, and joined up. I didn't keep those original 4 (though now I kick myself for it) and, being at the time pregnant with my son, was determined I was not going to collect anything for myself.

As the year progressed and our store owner friend sent me more and more ponies to clean up I found myself asking to hang onto more and more of them. Back about 2 months ago I finally caved and dove in headfirst to collecting.

Now I have around 200 ponies from G1, G3, G3.5, and G4. I still have so much left to learn about collecting them and really enjoy seeing what everyone else has managed to find.

I'm usually a quiet and reserved person, and it takes me a while to feel like I can really open up and be myself. I recognize a lot of names from the Trading Post, so I look forward to chatting with old and new friends!
