1. How long have you been collecting ponies? Since 1999 or 2000ish. I started collecting 80's toys in 1999. I started with She-ra, then went to Rainbow Brite and various toy lines. Ponies always felt so overwhelming because there are so many. I only collected few at a time and it is my "mane" focus of collecting now, because I have mostly completed the other toy lines.
2. How did you start collecting ponies? I grew up with G1 and loved them, so I started collecting them when I started collecting 80's toys.
3. How long have you been part of the MLP Internet community (not necessarily just the Arena)? Early 2000's maybe 2002. When I first started collecting toys I felt very alone and even embarrassed. When I discovered that there were many other toy collectors it helped me not to feel so embarrassed about my hobby and I enjoyed talking with others who shared the same interests.
4. Who was your first pony? Blossom
5. Who was your last pony (i.e., most recently purchased/acquired)? Sand Digger and Hopper!
6. What is your favorite generation? G1. I collected G3 when they first came out, but I realized I didn't feel the same way about them as G1. I think I was trying to replace my wanting to buy G1 ponies with G3s that were so much more attainable at the time.
7. About how many ponies do you have in your collection? I'm not sure. I would guess somewhere over 100 or so.
8. Who's your grail pony, or alternatively, the pony you want most at the moment? I would love to get Night Light someday!
9. Who's your favorite pony and why? (choose only one! hard, I know) Starshine- I love rainbows and white ponies. I never had one as a child, but I vividly remember my grandfather getting me a Stashine pinwheel at the beach. I did still have it, but I'm afraid my mom may have thrown it away
