Pony Corral / Re: Amazing G1 find IF you live in Montreal
« on: June 15, 2020, 07:07:24 AM »
I can't stop thinking about it.  :shocked: I live in New York so it's out of range but yet SO CLOSE. Ice Crystal is one of my grails. And the seller definitely has no idea what they have.

Pony Corral / Edit: BEWARE OF THIS SCAM! Big G1 Lot Is Making The Rounds
« on: June 15, 2020, 05:28:52 AM »
Edit 06/19: Read this whole thread as this turned out to be a complete scam and the same lot is showing up all over the internet!

Saw this ad on Kijiji last night.

Unfortunately the seller will only do local pickup so there’s no way I can get it. Posting here so hopefully someone can! I’m crying hard over that Ice Crystal!! ;__;

Pony Corral / Best Pony Conservation Methods?
« on: June 11, 2020, 03:02:47 PM »
Let's say you have perfectly mint G1 nirvana pony and you'd like her to stay that way as long as possible. What are some of the best methods for preventing or delaying deterioration? Here's what I've heard of:

- Storing in cool, dry places (obv) away from dust
- Limiting light exposure, especially for fading pink haired ponies
- Replacing metal tail washers with zip ties
- Putting talc powder or silica gel packets inside ponies — would love some thoughts on which works best!
- Wrapping ponies in tissue paper for storage to prevent direct contact with other ponies/surfaces

Any other advice? I live in a tiny apartment so I collect to photograph not display. I'd love to hear thoughts on storage containers as well!

Thanks everyone!

Pony Corral / Re: What happened to your childhood pony?
« on: June 11, 2020, 02:48:12 PM »
My first pony was Skippity Doo. <3 Tragically, however, my whole childhood collection (including the pearlized baby ponies and Rapunzel!) was stolen out of a storage unit when I was in middle school. Definitely one of the reasons I became a collector as an adult.

MLP Nirvana / Re: My Fake Reverse Gusty
« on: June 11, 2020, 02:41:26 PM »
Thanks for sharing your story! I remember this incident too! Every new nirvana pony was a HUGE deal back then and commanded insane prices. I can understand the temptation to create fakes and totally respect the attention to detail. Who would ever expect a fake pony to fall into the hands of an actual chemist? That's karma for sure.

Pony Corral / Price check: Complete G1 Firefly
« on: June 10, 2020, 11:54:03 AM »
Could anyone throw me a price check on a near mint Firefly with excellent year 2 back card, matching brush, mint unopened sticker, pamphlet, and (by all appearances) matching ribbon?

Also does anyone have any idea what a whole set of similarly NM/complete year 2 earth/unicorn/pegasus ponies would cost?

Thanks so much!

Customs / Breyer Moondancer ✨
« on: June 10, 2020, 10:27:41 AM »
Oh hello!

I'm new here so thought I'd share my favorite custom so far, a Moondancer I made from a Breyer model. Body is factory paint, mane and tail were hand painted, and the symbol was airbrushed.

In retrospect I think it would have been easier and better to airbrush the whole thing though. Next time maybe I'll get a little crazier and try Mimic — would be fun to hunt down the perfect eye gems!

Thanks for sharing! These are soooo cute. I would have an army of Mimics if I could.  :devious:

Pony Corral / Re: G1 Collectors who collect non-nostalgically?

Every G1 pony is shaped like a friend

As someone who had G1 as a kid but always thought they had a special, timeless appeal, this thread absolutely warms my heart. <3 I guess that special something is also why the line blew up for 10+ years without needing much backstory.

I find it interesting that so many people said the large quantity of ponies was a key factor. As a younger collector I remember this was one of the things I found intimidating about MLP. Does anyone have a planned end goal for the collection?

Introductions / Oh hello!
« on: June 09, 2020, 01:26:34 PM »
Hi everyone! I'm an artist and graphic designer in New York returning to collecting after a decade break. In the late 90's/early 00's I had a HUGE 80's girls toy collection and ran a site called PinkPlastic.net that mainly focused on Jem and She-Ra. As I get older, however, I'm finding myself drawn more and more to the sweetness of My Little Pony. Thrilled to see forums like this one still exist! ^_^
