Pony Corral / Re: Unpopular Pony Opinions

Agreed - I have never seen FiM. And I don't want to. It's an insult to my precious childhood memories, seriously. I grew up on the G2 toys and the G1 cartoon, so anything later leaves me cold.

I also think "Friendship is Magic" is a silly title, and don't even get me started on "cutie mark". They weren't called that back in MY day....  :P

And, if I may diverge from the G4 ranting for a while, I think MOC/MIB ponies, especially from the earlier generations, are the saddest thing ever. 20 years in a box?  :cry:

For Trade / 18 G2's - will sell or trade for pre-loved G2's
« on: July 18, 2017, 07:43:30 AM »
Hello, relatively new to the Arena G2 collector H&H here! As the screen name implies, I specialise in giving a home to the ponies that are obviously pre-loved rather than mint condition. (I think "bait" is the collector term? I know I must sound like a complete newbie but I haven't been part of an actual MLP community since my childhood back in the 90's. And even then, playgrounds probably don't count.)

So I have 18 G2 ponies from my collection that are in too good a condition for my reverse-picky, sentimental mindset, and one G1 baby who's been sticking out like a sore thumb since I impulse bought her. I'd like to find new homes for them, maybe trade for other G2's that are in "worse" condition? I don't know how many takers I'll get but I'm putting this out there. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong! And if you're interested in any of these ponies, feel free to ask about their overall condition and flaws. Some of them still have hair cuts and pen marks that might not show on these pics!

Already gone:
G1 BBE Baby Cuddles
Princess Sapphire
Jolly
Clever Clover
Prince Blue Dream
Light Heart (the one with pink hooves, partly hidden by Dainty Dove's face in the picture)
Butterfly Hunter
Lady Moonshine
Sweet Berry (both)
Sundance

Hello everyone! I'm Haircutsandhighlighters or H&H, a G2 pony collector from Burnley, England. I grew up on G2, and started my current collection last year to bring back some happy childhood memories. I have suffered from depression since my early teens, and my MLP collection is one of the rays of sunshine in my life, taking me back to a time when things weren't as stressful. At present I have 64 G2 ponies (and one G1 baby) living on top of the cabinet in my study.

My favourite ponies - as you can probably guess from my username - are the ones that are very obviously pre-loved. The ponies with character - haircuts, pen marks and the like - that make me think "Aww, who was the child who loved this pony enough to do that?" and, again, take me back to my own childhood. I remember my Ivy wound up with a very short mane at some point.  ^.^

Now that I'm getting more involved in My Little Pony collecting, I'm here at the MLP Arena and looking forward to becoming a part of the community here. The last time I talked to another MLP collector was in primary school, so... here I am!  :biggrin:
