Hi and welcome to the Arena

What a lovely story about your collecting.  I know just what you mean about buying all kinds of ponies and not just sticking to certain sets. There are so many cute ponies out there - must have them ALL.  LOL

Enjoy the forums

It didn't help when I did some research and found that the TE's and TAF's both contain super rare ponies among their number.... but when it comes down to it I have a hard time resisting ANY pony anymore. It's like a flood gate opened up. O_o Not sure if being on this forum "helps" or just makes it worse, lol!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Seems like a nice place.

Wow, guys... I only get like 2-3 ponies done a week! You are all super cleaners! 

I will have to try this soon! Thanks!!

Wow, that's a lot of ponies! I've slowly been working through mine, but they mostly need their hair washed. Not as hefty as some of yours, it's just a small box of mostly G3's, with some G2 and 4 Mcponies.

Looks like enough to keep you busy!!   

I have come to really appreciate G3 ponies lately.. I only have a handful, and though I'm mainly into G1, the later generations really are adorable.

I dont even think of the to do pony things...it will make me want to curl up in a little ball and cry

That looks like a lot of fun though - cleaning up ponies and making them look great is always so much fun!

It IS fun! I only get a couple done in a week but I'm in no hurry

I've seen some nice collection pics so on this forum-- it inspires me to keep working on my own!  Unfortunately my To Do pile is still pretty big compared to the ones I've cleaned!

A couple of these are "new" acquisitions (thrift store/ebay) but the majority is childhood stuff... and of course the mix includes some Fashion Star Fillies, a Fairy Tail bird with a broken claw (not sure what I'm going to do about her claw), a couple Mattel Pretty Kitties, and of course some fakies... I'm not sure what I'm going to do with some of those non-MLP items but I've held onto them this long that getting rid of them seems wrong.. even the fakies. ^^*

So how about you guys? Surely I'm not the only one with pictures of a massive To Do pile. 

Looking good so far (and woooo She-Ra stuff too, you're lucky, I don't have any of my original She Ra things) good luck with your collection!

I think like many here I use whatever is on hand. Dish soap for the body (Palmolive is what's here, does the brand make much of a difference?), Herbal Essence shampoo and Suave conditioner. I was originally using watered down Aussie conditioner (not enough left to use for myself but it got me through several ponies)- but when it ran out the ponies got the cheap stuff, lol. They don't seem to mind.

I used to go through the effort of combing dry before a wash but I haven't bothered with the last few ponies I did... Combing wet with thr conditioner on seems to be easier. 

Hi, fellow new person! I'm sure we will have fun here!
