Honestly, who cares? You're okay with it, aren't you? Life is way too short for you to be bothered by what others think THAT much. Sure, you might feel weird sometimes because you don't know anyone who does the same thing, and that's normal. But everyone has reasons to collect ponies - most of us want to have more of the objects we loved when children, others just find ponies to be cute. If you really like ponies and want to have more, why not do just that?
Well said and I agree 100 %!
A lot of people collect things out of many, many reasons.
Of course it is anyone's right to frown upon collecting habits, as long as they're not rude about it.
For example, I've never understood why my mum's best friend collects elephants or why one of my friends collects angels - I just don't get the appeal.
My grandmother collects Hummel figurines - I find them to be kitschy.
Some acquaintances of mine collect DVDs (they don't even remove them from the packaging! They buy every DVD twice!) - I think it's a waste of money.
And me? I collect Ponies and Transformers.
MLP toys have been a part of my childhood, Transformers toys not at all.
A lot of people think it's a bit silly to buy toys for kids just to restore them and put them on a shelf - I think it's weird to collect anything
but MLPs or TFs
Don't overthink this issue too much.
You buy what you want! If it makes you happy - why not? If it helps you to relive your childhood - why not?!
Just make sure it doesn't get excessive. Food, clothes and rent should always have priority over collectibles
