Nice costumes, ponies! I'm impressed.

I have only seen "My Strange Addiction" so far. I want to watch "My Crazy Obsession" though...

I think we have to keep in mind that a lot of people think huge collections of anything are crazy with or without it being televised, so not much can help that. It would be cool for the idea of pony collecting to get some exposure, just to show "haters" (lol) that it's not so uncommon and weird, that other people do collect them. Then again, it may cause a huge change in things -- like the extreme couponing show has really changed couponing rules and cause a lot more people to started using coupons. :/ But that was a whole series. I dunno.

I'd do it, but I don't think my boyfriend would be comfortable with cameras in our home, and I just have a pony closet, not a pony room.

Hmmmm...

Sounds like a typical response to me for a company facing serious legal consequences if a "retarded" pony character actually were slated for production.

To me, that statement means absolutely nothing.

It actually appears to me to be more like Hasbro is attempting to abandon ownership of :muffin: Pony due to all the controversy over her character...

I agree. It stinks because I don't think it was their intention to have a "retarded" pony, but more so silly. :/ They probably just don't want to deal with a backlash over it. All it takes is for someone to write a negative blog or tweet and it would take off like wildfire, whether true or not.

I wish they'd sell her for real. :/

Pony Corral / Re: Are You A Good or Bad Pony Auction Looser?
« on: April 10, 2012, 08:30:14 PM »
I just get kind of discouraged. I end up feeling upset at myself for messing it up, lol... But I get over it. I really really want that G1 purse that has half of a Cotton Candy attached to it. Once I was watching an auction for it, and planned on coming back to bid later on, and I FORGOT! It sold for only $5! I was so mad at myself. :S

Pony Corral / Re: Family's (and others) reactions to your collection?
« on: April 04, 2012, 08:32:33 PM »
I haven't told my coworkers really. My one coworker Jose let it slip that he likes anime and everyone seemed to react negatively so I just decided to stay quiet about my ponies, lol.

My boyfriend isn't really in love with it, but he accepts it since I keep my ponies displayed in my closet. When he first heard about bronies, he was eager to tell me about it because he figured I'd be excited about it, so that was kinda cute. :) My boyfriend is a man of few words and very minimalistic so I gotta take it for what it is, lol.

My family... Even though they all collect things they don't support it anymore. They don't get that you don't buy them because you want to play with them (well, some people do, :P ), you get them to collect. MY G1s are an asset -- if I decide to sell, I could get a couple hundred dollars after all is said and done. They're vintage, and I love vintage things. I don't have a huuuge collection, and I don't spend that much on ponies. Months go by between purchases, so it annoys me that they care at all, but whatevs. My life, not theirs.

As long as you are reasonable about your collection -- if it makes you happy, why care? I gotta admit, I am jealous of people with supportive family... :/

I have been scoping out rare and weird fakies for some time. I have been SERIOUSLY slacking off on my fakie site, but this week I am working on updates.


Here are a few of my little treasures:

Sideburns Fakie - I now own a blue one as well. So weird, you gotta ask, "What the heck were they thinking? How would that be appealing to a child?" To me, it made her super appealing. Lol.

The Mattel Sweetsville ponies. I only the pink and the white one. I still need the yellow one. (Unless there are more I'm not aware of...) These ponies have butt cheeks. Also, WHAT THE HECK?!

I now have another Totsy -- one that was made into a custom of my persona for me in a swap. So cool:

I really don't have any rare or hard to find MLPs. :/ I have a pearly Baby Cotton Candy, and a G1 mermaid pony (pic in my sig). That's about it, lol.  :satisfied:  edit: I meant my avatar, lol. Sorry!


I like even my baity ponies because they have character. Maybe that's special.  :P

Pony Corral / Re: Anyone have trouble with pony names?
« on: April 02, 2012, 07:52:40 PM »
Back in the early 2000s when I started for really real collecting (and by that I mean I was 11-12 years old and consciously decided to collect and learn more about G1s and discovered all the neat-o stuff on the internet) I was really good at pony names. Now I only really know the names of common ponies, and my favorite ones. I just can't keep it all in my head anymore. :P

Pony Corral / Re: FiM on Netflix!
« on: April 02, 2012, 07:41:39 PM »
Thanks for the tip! Watching it now! Our internet connection here is shotty -- for surfing the web it's fine, MOST of the time, but trying to watch videos is frustrating. It seems to work best through the xbox. How or why... I dunno. But only for Netflix. Hulu Plus doesn't really work so well.

Yay ponies!!!!!

Pony Corral / Re: MD Pony Meet 2012: RSVP's Are Open!
« on: April 02, 2012, 07:34:03 PM »
I was hoping to RSVP, but I couldn't get the day off of work, so it would be pretty late in the day until I got there. :( Have fun, you ponies! Is there a PA meet, ever? I haven't seen anything as concrete and organized as the Maryland meet. :(

I wish they'd make toys out of the various non-clone ponies...

Are the ponies for sale on taobao eventually going to be sold normally? (Sorry, noob here.)
