I was just having a glance at my ponies, and my gaze momentarily rested upon G1 Cotton Candy. So pink. So simple... (even really common as far as ponies go) and gosh I love her! When I first started collecting, I remember looking at the Collector Pose ponies thinking, nah... their pose is a bit ugly... I won't go there. But then, when I caved and got my Cotton Candy, I just fell in love with originals and the pose... how’s that for a 180? (further, in a couple of months, I had managed to obtain the whole set!!! - obsessive much?!) Pretty Vision was the same. At first I was a bit unaffected by the Brush'n'Grows... but after winning her inadvertently in a bulk lot and fixing her up with the intention to sell on, she changed my mind! I couldn’t do it! I couldn’t let her go! And now I'm on the look out for the rest of them (with only a couple to go before completing the set). Got me thinking as a thread starter - which pony changed your mind about a particular set?

ooh! I like! They are very cute, and have a nice sense of movement to them. Keep sketching!

Good job all of you who reported that, and for spotting it. Ripping off other people's work like that is disgusting. I've come into this thread a little late, so didn't see what was up there, but had some of the work been mine, I would have been utterly furious. I hope no-one's been too badly affected by this.
It's very sad. I think a lot of people display their work here, and in other places, in good faith that others will respect copyright. Just take one bad egg, doesn't it.

Haha, great stories, everyone!
I have another from yesterday... My two girls (3 and 1/2, and 2 years), despite the amount of times I tell them NOT to, simply love jumping on the bed (well, what kid doesn't, I suppose...). Anyway, there is this rhyme about monkeys jumping on the bed, some of you might know it? Three little monkeys jumping on the bed... one fell off and bumped his head... Mummy rang the doctor and the doctor said... no more monkeys jumping on the bed! ...and on it goes until there are no more monkeys...
Anyway, as the two madams were yet again bouncing around I sounded out another warning from the other room (mummy is rather over this you see, and was busying doing dishes). Of course they didn't listen, and of course the inevitable happened. So amidst the tears, I finally walk into the room, look upon them rather unsympathetically (aren't I mean?), and say: "And what happened to the monkeys who jumped on the bed?"
Madam no.1 (who bore the brunt of the injury) pipes up between snivels: "they fell off and bump-a the Alice!(youngest madam)"
Had to laugh.

Just had an awesome laugh... hubby just got off the phone to his folks (they had the girls for the night so we could have a date night out at the movies! Yah!!)
Anyway..... apparently Madam no.1 (who loves looking through National Geographics with Grandad), saw a picture of a horse, with a foal inside it (I think it was like a cross-section kind of illustration or something). After looking at the picture and explaining it a bit to Madam, Grandad then says to her: "So, where did you come from?"
Madam no.1 looks up at Grandad a moment, and then says quite frankly: "I've just come from downstairs"
What other gems have your kids come up with?

Ponies were my favourite toys as a kid (80's). I cherished them dearly, and the 16 or so I had accumulated eventually were stashed away in a box. No way were they ever being thrown out or donated! Years later, I pulled them out for my eldest girl to look at. Watching her play with them was so warm fuzzy-ish! But... the play got a little rougher, and as I did yet another hair tidy up on one of them, I realised I might not quite be ready to have my beloved girls ruined just yet! Coupled with a sudden google-fest of all things pony, I started lovingly restoring them to former glory, and then got thinking about what other ponies I had wanted as a kid... ...well, over a hundred G1's later (daughters were given newer substitutes!) I've gone, fair to say, pony mad! I don't know what it is really. They just make me happy. It's a nostalgia thing I guess, and the restoration side of things, whilst I am still pretty fresh at it, has become a very satisfying hobby! My girls still get to cuddle 'Mummy's' ponies now and then, and very sweetly seem to understand that those particular ponies, are very special Here's what's left of my original childhood ponies below : visitors can't see pics , please register or login

OMG Yes!! My hubby and I loved it! Was one of the only decent shows we had here (free tv)! Can't wait for the christmas special which I think we are getting in Feb. I also loved (how's this for stark contrast?) Sons of Anarchy. Never thought such a show would appeal to me, when when it was on, it was our tv highlight of the week! can't wait for the next season

What an awesome haul. Can't believe you got all those in one go! I love the TAF's; the two sets are among the top of my favourites list, and I only just completed both sets this month! They look lovely
