Pony Corral / Oh My! Forgot All About This Little Guy...
« on: June 25, 2021, 08:26:57 PM »
Was going through a long forgotten box of Ponies and 1/6 scale action figures and found this little guy from a previous life

I really thought it was made custom by someone here on the Arena back in the early 2000s, when I was still relatively new to the arena.  Unfortunately, a search through my ancient messages and my posting history turns up nothing.  :(

Anyone here from back then remember making this little custom Star-Watcher for me?

Off Topic / Wow! New Record for an Absence
« on: July 08, 2016, 11:38:32 PM »
Nice to see this place is still alive and hopping.  Figured most would have moved on to FB by now.  Can't believe, judging by my last post here that it has been close to 2 years since I haunted the Arena.  Be interesting to see how many familiar faces from ye days of olde here are still active.

Ah well, back to Neverwinter for a bit before bed.

Pony Corral / Pony Identification Time
« on: July 29, 2014, 02:19:43 PM »
Time to get help identifying another Pony

Anyone know who this one is?

Went carefully through the Pegasus list on the FiM Wiki and did not see an entry for one that matches her description.

Off Topic / PC on a Microsoft Promo Voodoo Vince Plush Doll?
« on: February 19, 2014, 03:15:39 AM »
Anyone have any idea what a reasonable expectation would be pricewise for one of these?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/microsoft-collectible-voodoo-vince-promo-doll-/221362825652?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338a40a9b4

This isn't my listing. The one I found today is still sealed in its baggie. I am guessing that the $4500 this guy has been trying to get for his is on the way too high side. However, neither Google nor DuckDuckGo are turning up much useful information at all. The only thing of note was found on the Voodoo Vince Wiki...

Replica 1:1 scale Voodoo Vince dolls where presented to the production team of the game. The left overs had been sent out to many different countries on release of the game as prizes for competitions. 100 where made.

If it turns out that we found one of those 100, then could the $4500 that other seller was trying for actually be reasonable after all?

If this indeed turns out to be as rare as I am suspecting, then this could supplant my 45 cent Nobleheart Horse plush that I resold for $950 as my greatest thrift score ever.

Off Topic / Wow! Most Epic Costumes Ever!
« on: November 01, 2013, 06:22:30 AM »
I just have to say, as far as creativity goes, I have the most awesome family ever.  I was totally stunned by the costumes my youngest sister (Amy) and her youngest daughter (Emily) put together for themselves yesterday.

I just have to show the shot they took out in front of my sister's art gallery...

When she posted this on Facebook, I awarded her 10 Newmans.  :D

Pony Corral / Daicon IV Video - Pony Style
« on: October 18, 2013, 12:09:20 PM »
I don't know if anyone here remembers the promo video that was produced for Daicon IV ages ago (that utilized Twilight, by the Electric Light Orchestra), but it appears somepony has remixed the video and ponyized it...

Pony Brag Arena / The Loot Fairy Came Today!
« on: September 10, 2013, 07:02:29 PM »
Just found these little ladies in a $2 baggie at Goodwill...

I'm guessing that whoever did the pricing must have thought they were fakies, because G1 Ponies tend to either get sent off to Goodwill's own auction site or they get greedy and price them at prices unworthy of a place calling itself a thrift store.

That said, after looking them up, I obviously can not afford to keep them myself.  So, time to put in an hour or so of work tonight.  :D

Off Topic / Unidentified Street Shark Figure
« on: August 13, 2013, 06:08:00 PM »
Just recently got ahold of a lot of 20 Street Sharks action figures.  I've managed to positively identify most of them, but there is one that I just keep coming up blank on.  He is black skinned, has a silver mouth and throat, and wears a maroon jacket.

Here is a shot of him front and back.  Any ideas who this one is?

For those of you who sell on eBay, with the recent change in the user agreement, you have been enrolled in their travesty of a Global Shipping Program.  This is more expensive for your international customers, and could be costly to your business.  And even worse, there have been a lot of reports of items being mishandled by the workers at the reshipping center, and eBay is not taking any responsibility for items damaged or lost, even though they say that you are protected.

If you want to reclaim control of your operations, you need to go to to your My eBay page, click on Account - Site Preferences, and hit Edit under Offer the Global Shipping Program.  There you can opt back out of this idiocy.

Off Topic / Figure I.D. and Translation Needed
« on: June 07, 2013, 12:51:29 PM »
Can anyone translate the packaging on this figure?

At first, I thought it was a Power Ranger (1995, Ban Dai), but the more I searched to try to i.d. it, the more I started doubting.  Any ideas?

Off Topic / Hittin' The Hay
« on: May 10, 2013, 11:22:48 AM »
Had this song stuck in my head recently, and thought I would check YouTube to see if there were any videos utilizing it.

Cutely done video, and the song is going to be even more stuck in my head for a while...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WL5GQ8JJkU

Good mix of a fun twangy classic and FiM

o/~ Better hold on tight as we go hittin' the hay.
       Better hold tight and pray.
      Better hold on tight as we go hittin' the hay.
       Darlin' better run, because I won't hold back my horses... o/~

Off Topic / Another Unidentified Figure
« on: May 03, 2013, 07:08:48 PM »
Here is another figure I am having a bugger of a time identifying.  He is a Marvel character, and looks like he could be from the Marvel Legends line.

Any ideas?

Off Topic / What Pokemon is This?

Found this creepy little bugger at Goodwill today.

Anyone know what Pokemon it is?  I checked the identification poster on IGN, but it wasn't there, and is most likely a very outdated list.

Off Topic / What Are These Anime Soundtracks?
« on: April 14, 2013, 12:24:58 AM »
Just yesterday I found at Goodwill 4 different Bubblegum Crisis import soundtrack CDs and 2 others that I can't identify, because it is all in Japanese.

Anyone know what these are the soundtracks from?
