Off Topic / Re: Is anyone here a vegan/vegetarian?
« on: April 11, 2014, 10:17:03 AM »
I can imagine the dairy industry is better than it used to be, I just personally disagree with taking the milk at all. Seems pretty unnatural to me. I probably wouldn't have an issue with eggs if the chickens were treated right and weren't killed in hatcheries/slaughterhouses, but all the time they are I won't buy them. I'd like to rescue some chickens one day, as well as various other animals if I can. I adore cows, I'd love to maybe have a cow sanctuary... but hey I'm only 18 and still in college so no cow sanctuaries for a while xD

Cool! I used to be a vegetarian, in fact I've been one my whole life. I became vegan about half a year ago when I learnt about the dairy/egg industry and how they work and it made me so sad  :( Recipes are cool! If you have any vegan ones or vegetarian ones with replaceable ingredients then let me know  ^.^

I'm a vegan and as of yet I've never met another pony collector/brony who is as well. I was wondering if I really was the only one or if any of you guys are too?  :P

Pony Corral / Re: What kind of collector are you?
« on: April 11, 2014, 07:38:45 AM »
There's lots of diversity here! I'm glad I'm not the only one who deboxes my ponies!  :lol:

I'll give a more detailed answer myself as I didn't say much in my original post :P

I'm a collector of all generations. I aim to have one of every single pony at some point, which is unlikely, but I will try to get as many as I can. I'm not too fussed about variants, so I don't buy every re-release of a pony. But if I do end up with a variant of a pony I keep it.

I started out collecting G4, and I'm now trying to complete my G4 collection. I'm about 5 ponies off having at least one variant of every pony released (excluding blind bags, although I do have the full Wave 3 set). I originally intended to buy the mane 6 only, but then I enjoyed buying them so much that I started to buy other G4's they had out at the time (Blossomforth, Dewdrop Dazzle, Lulu Luck and Sugarcup). But when I'd bought all of them I started to get the collecting bug and there was nothing else really to collect, which is why I began to collect other generations too. My first G3 was Petal Blossom, I found her in a charity shop by chance. My first G1 was Moonstone, and my first G2 was Princess Crystal.

I'm not too fussed about playsets and accessories, but when I do get hold of them (usually as part of a bundle) I either keep them somewhere in the cupboard or give them to my younger sister who's 5. She also gets all my duplicates :P

I will literally collect any pony I can get hold of, as long as it's legitimate, AKA not a Fakie. I love the Summer for this, because you can find so many ponies at carboot sales. However there are of course ponies I want more than others, which I buy specifically online.

I am seriously running out of display room for all my ponies and I'm starting to worry about when I get more because I will literally have nowhere to put them unless I pile them on top of the others. But I'll still buy more anyway. 'Cause I have no sense xD

As for condition, if I ever see a pony that I don't have, I will get it, regardless of it's condition. It would have to be in absolutely terrible shape for me to not get it. However I am always on the look out for better condition versions of that pony!  :biggrin:

Pony Corral / What kind of collector are you?
« on: April 10, 2014, 08:47:25 AM »
I was just wondering what kind of collectors people were. For example:
  • Do you only collect one generation?
  • Do you keep your ponies in their boxes?
  • Do you collect every pony you can or do you only go for certain models/colours etc?
  • Is there a certain condition your ponies have to be in?

Etc, you get the point  :P

I personally collect all generations in whatever condition. Whilst I wish I was sensible enough to keep the boxed ones in their boxes, I get sad if I can't touch them so I always take them out xD

Pony Corral / Re: MLP curtains & bedding? (+PC)

From what I've seen you can sometimes get them on eBay but they're often quite pricey.

Really jealous of my cousin, she has a G1 bedding set from when she was a child. She's not even into ponies but she's too attached to the set to give it to me  :cry: xD

Pony Brag Arena / My pony bed :)
« on: April 10, 2014, 03:47:14 AM »
So I thought I'd share a photo of my bed. Mainly G4 stuff but as you can see I have two G1 plushes on the left (Firefly & Surprise  :P)

I'm also expecting four new plushes to arrive in the next few days xD

I hate McDonalds and I'd never go but if they brought the ponies to the UK I think I'd have to! Especially since they have DJ PON3 (seriously though, they have her and not Applejack? XD)

I haven't bought am impulse buy that wasn't pony related in a very long time, which may seem good, but its only because I don't remember the last time I bought something non-pony related  :blush:

Customs / Making a custom - where to start?
« on: April 09, 2014, 09:18:00 AM »
Ever since getting into ponies I've wanted to make a custom but I'm not sure where to begin. I've tried looking at online guides but they're usually not detailed enough or go into far too much detail which ends up confusing me. So I was just wondering how you guys did it? What kind of paint do you use and what's the best way to keep the pony looking as if it were "real"?  ^.^
