Hi everyone, I'm hoping to find my Strawberry Scoops a loving new home. 🍓 Due to significant international postal delays, I need to keep this sale local within Australia. I'm happy to post locally, otherwise pickup in Melbourne City. She's in great condition as far as I can tell, there's light wear to the box and dents in the plastic window, but otherwise all tape is still sealed. Please comment here or message me to make an offer - I've had her for many years now and do not know what price to ask for her anymore. I really want her to go to a great new home 💕 Overview photos here: https://imgur.com/kGf5H5Ehttps://imgur.com/eR1pCP6https://imgur.com/LeaGOmqhttps://imgur.com/WySW7Hx

I cannot identify my Rarity. I've checked the G4 databases on MLPMerch and Strawberry Reef, and now I'm not sure where to look. She's got the mane of Rainbow Power Neon Rarity, but her body markings are different. Perhaps I missed something on the databases... any ideas? She doesn't strike me as a fakie...  Hope I haven't missed something obvious  Thank you all  visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hi everyone. Hoping you guys can help me out with a price check I have a MIB Strawberry Scoops in my collection, but I've come to realise I would rather have her loose to display. As such I am considering selling her, but haven't a clue what she is worth, and was unable to find any recent eBay auctions. Photos are in the spoiler below. There are dents but no cracks or tears in the outer plastic of the box. There is some wear and tear on the cardboard, and a patch of yellowing on the upper right of the front where a price sticker once was. There is some tape holding the box closed at the back - tape is in tact with some dirt under it - but I have no idea if the tape is original. If anybody has any input, that would be wonderful. Thank you all so much

Long post here! I'm on holiday visiting my grandparents at the moment, and they asked me to sort through boxes full of junk the rest of my family left here when they moved overseas. Well, it wasn't all junk. I found my childhood ponies  G3 would have been about to emerge at the time I had these, but I played with G1s as a child because they were hand me downs from my sister. I played with them for many years, and thought they were gone forever, so it was quite a shock to see them again! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginBeach Ball has had almost all her hair cut off but it still glows vibrant purple in the sunlight. And I can still remember sitting on the lounge room floor giving poor Birthday Pony a haircut. I was quite proud of my skill at the time lol. I hardly remember the fakie, but it sure needs a clean! I know two or three of my childhood ponies are still missing, but I think those might be gone forever. As for the ones I did find, they're pretty baity, but I'm still going to clean them up as best I can then put them on display. I might rehair them one day, but for now I'd rather leave them as I found them I don't have many G1s, but finding these has really made me appreciate G1s in good condition, even those that are considered common. I can't really express how happy I am to have found my ponies, especially Starglow. Starglow was green and glowed in the dark, so she was always my favourite. I am absolutely thrilled to have found her... Starglow is my all time favourite pony, and now I've found the one that was so special to me She's going to look great next to her translucent US twin visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I'm usually a fan of WeLoveFine figures. I'm not big on Flutterbat, but I love the intricate coins that come with some of the figures, so I decided to get their Flutterbat vinyl. I'm quite disappointed. Her seams are so garish they can be seen at a distance... like no effort was made to smooth them down at all. She has small indents and scratches all over her body too. Overall, her finish is very poor. The worst part is that the coin arrived scratched, with obvious patches on Fluttershy's eye, rump and tail. Photos below  No figure is perfect, but compared to my other WLF figures there has been a decrease in quality. Luck of the draw perhaps? I'm not sure what to think... my partner said I should ask the company about all the flaws, but I doubt it will do any good, and maybe I'm just being too picky. Anybody else order this figure? All advice and comments are welcome

It doesn't look like a real grape plant, but I'm quite happy with how this custom turned out. Though I suspect she needs some serious hair styling  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login She was rehaired with Dollyhair's Key Lime, ultraviolet, raspberry sorbet & a tiny bit of mulberry crush. I gave the grape bunches a 3D texture, and the fine vines were painted with a needle point. This is my second custom, and below is a picture of the WIP next to my first custom... my main goal was to improve my paint work, which I think I have done  Thanks for reading visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Today I tried my hand at customisation, and have made a strawberry-themed pony. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI've wanted G1 Sugarberry for years but haven't been able to get her... I recently acquired a baity Toola-Roola, and decided to do my own take and cover her in leaves and strawberries I used student acrylics, and the nylon is White Chocolate from Dollyhair. I have never painted before and I made some mistakes, though I will keep trying. I don't post much, but seeing the many stunning customisations here on the Arena inspired me to create my own, so I wanted to say thank you and share this with you. I really love her. All she needs now is a name

Hi everyone! I only joined the forum a week ago and didn't think I'd be posting a pony brag for quite some time, but here I am  I'm an avid collector of G3 & G4 ponies, and until now, my G1 collection consisted of one beautiful but lonely Starglow. A few days ago I acquired Strawberry Scoops new in box, and she arrived in the mail today! The box (understandably) has a bit of wear as well as an unsightly price tag that is peeling off, but altogether she was $32 USD including shipping etc, which I thought was quite a good deal and just couldn't resist I usually prefer to remove ponies from their packaging and display them loose, though I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to open this one! Not sure if the pictures worked lol. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Hi there! I'm Destiny, and have been collecting ponies for three or four years now. I played with hand-me-down G1 ponies as a child, and they were so beautiful I never lost interest. I love to collect G3 brushables and G4 ponies of all kinds, and also hope to find more G1s in the future I am currently a biomedical phD student with a focus on cancer research, and some of my other interests include insects, playing violin, and collecting Tamagotchis. It's so wonderful to be a part of such a friendly pony forum - I look forward to meeting you all
