Hi!
I'm a MLP collector from Europe. English is not my first language so if you find grammatical errors in my writing you know why.
I had a few MLPs when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s, only seven, but I loved them and they are my favourite toys from my childhood. For me collecting is about nostalgia so I only collect G1. I chose the name Swirly Whirly because she is one of the seven ponies from my childhood collection and was always one of my favourites. That scent! Funny side note, I realised the other day that my shower gel smells exactly like Swirly Whirly!
I started collecting in high school, back in 2001 I think, and my collection of seven ponies from my childhood grew to 50. Because of lack of space after I moved into my first home of my own (tiny apartment) I put my collection on hiatus a few years later and didn't pick it up again until this year. Me and my boyfriend recently bought a house and now I have all the space I need and then some, so for the first time in over a decade my collection will be on display and have room to grow. I'm redecorating a room in the house to be my hobby room and plan to keep my collection there. I had already decided the room would be pink before I took up the collecting again and now it seems even more fitting. My pink hobby/MLP room!
I'm a creative person so my hobby/MLP room will also be where I work on my art and other creative projects.
I'm looking forward to being part of the forum.
