Nice finds! They certainly cleaned up well.

Thanks! Yeah, took a good two hours and about a bucket of conditioner but it was worth it! 

He is my current grail, and I am willing to fork up some considerable cash for anyone looking to sell. Not that you'd want to, because he is GORGEOUS! But I figured it never hurts to ask! PM me or post here if you're looking to make some money and you'd like to fulfill my childhood (and adult) dreams! <3

Hey guys! My name is Kelly, but you can also call me Tic Tac Toe if you wish. I'm pretty excited to finally be here after many years of inactivity in the pony-collecting world. I have loved MLPs ever since I was a kid, and I used to collect for some time before financial issues forced me to sell off my herd. 

But a chance find at a vintage toy store last month reawakened my love for ponies and made me decide to take it up once again. Now I am in the process of rebuilding my collection and getting to know other collectors and fans in the process. It's pretty awesome and I'm very excited!

I'm here to buy, possibly sell, and to get tips and ideas for restoration (I have quite a few ponies coming my way that need a LOT of TLC. Eep). I am thrilled to finally talk to some people who don't think I'm nuts! 

Good to meet everyone. Let me know if you have any questions! I'm gonna go take some pictures of my current herd so I can brag about my latest finds.

Edit: And of course, being so excited I totally forgot to include the important stuff!

How old are you?: I am 23 years old.
 
Where do you live? State, Country?: I live in Ohio, in the good old US of A.

Do you work or attend school? Profession or major?: I work and I am attending school to become a Graphic Designer. Almost done!

Who are the important people in your life?: My boyfriend who I live with (who has to deal with the pony obsession, god bless him), my friends and family. I have a small close-knit family who I adore.

Ponies:

How long have you been collecting?: Originally for about three years, but recently only for a few weeks!

Which generations of ponies do you collect? G1, G2, G3 or G4?: G1 all the way. I'm a bit of a snob, I'll readily admit it. The newer ponies are fine, I just prefer to focus on the originals.

What made you want to collect ponies?: Um, they're amazing?! I have always been fascinated by them and they just plain make me smile.

Tell us about your collection!: Currently I'm at about 40 of the little buggers, but it is constantly growing. I need new shelf space!
