Pony Corral / How do you display your ponies?
« on: May 31, 2022, 02:01:21 AM »
Hey everyone! c:

I'm realizing as I keep going with the hobby (as well as my doll, plushie and figure collecting hobbies...) that I'm very rapidly
running out of space in my studio apartment, but also motivation! My girlfriend had to return to their home country for school
(we are unfortunately extremely long distance!) so my desire to take care of my space is at an all time high but my energy
an all time low!!

So! Out of curiosity, I'd love to see how everyone is displaying their collections and hear any tips for making said display look
nice and neat! I feel bad having all my ponies in boxes and really want to display the girls, and maybe even mix up the shelves
and have ponies and dolls displayed together somehow.

Pony Corral / To behead or not to behead
« on: December 12, 2020, 11:12:05 AM »
Howdy-do everyone!

I've been meaning to get around to cleaning some project ponies I got a few months back but have been a little confused about
the basic process and etiquette of cleaning G1s.
Mainly, if I should behead them to clean their insides?

I've been restoring my G3s for the majority of the year and didn't bother beheading any of those girlies just due to how aggressive the
G3 glue can be, but even then I feel it might have been wiser to behead anyways to avoid chances of molding etc etc...

What would y'all recommend? Thank you so much in advance for your help !!  :heart:

Pony Corral / ♡ g3 restoration questions !
« on: October 15, 2020, 06:05:21 PM »
Hey there! so sorry if this is the wrong forum to post in, I couldn't for the life of me find a restoration sub-section.

My birthday recently passed, and in wake of getting older I wanted to revisit my childhood collection of g3s and start cleaning them
up as a fun hobby project before I start on my new g1's.
I've been checking as many resource sites and youtube videos as I can, but almost all of them are on g1 ponies, and often mention warnings
about potential differences between generations when restoring and to take heed.

So, in wake of my paranoia around accidentally destroying my childhood toys, I felt it would be wise to ask the pony experts around here what I should
look out for when repairing and restoring g3s!

I put together a restoration kit using the many video guides and restoration techniques provided on mlppreservationproject, so I have most if not all widely
know materials and just want to make sure I don't use the wrong product on the wrong plastic and destroy my girls!

Thank you so much in advance and I'm so sorry if I missed this same topic somewhere else! I'll probably have some more specific questions later but I just need general warnings for now !

Introductions / ♡ hello all !!
« on: September 26, 2020, 08:21:46 PM »
Hello all!

My name's sentimental, but feel free to call me senti!
I've been into MLP since I was a little girl, but wanted to get a little more serious with my hobby
as a way to pass time productively during this whole pandemic mess, which led me to discovering this
super cute community ! I'm super excited to get to know you all and talk ponies ! c:

I'm 19 currently, but will be 20 next month! Nearly out of the teen years, whoo!
When I was a little girl, I was super into the G3 ponies but fell off hard after G3.5 happened, and in a sorry
attempt to seem "cool" in middle school, I missed the majority of the G4 hype train.
I found some videos on YouTube of people cleaning their G1 ponies, and my curiosity was re-ignited! Pulled
all my old girls from storage in my closet and purchased a few G1 girlies to kick start that collection. <3

I'm currently living in Washington State, USA, but once this mess blows over I hope to move to New Zealand for
school. I'm currently studying Visual Design, and draw digitally for a hobby! I hope to turn my artwork into a business
in the future, but for now I'm doing my best in Design. :)

I'm looking to get into restoring older ponies as well as expanding my collection- I'm super into the designs of the Sweetheart
Sisters, I love their mold so much ! I'm also trying to work on my G3 girlies, as they've got a huge place in my heart. From my
quick glances over Strawberry Reef and similar sites, it seems I have all of year 1 G3, and most of year 2 & 3!! So I'll be looking
to hopefully restore my girls and then collect the rest of their friends.

Oh wow, this got long- sorry about that! I hope we can get along!! <3
