Pony Corral / Re: How to tell the difference between US and UK/Euro G1's?« on: January 11, 2021, 05:44:32 PM »The Euro Gusty was sold in Scandinavia and South Africa. She's known as Fable Gusty or Scandinavian Gusty as well. For some reason Hasbro really liked making variations on Gusty. I'd have preferred RIbbon in the movie star line, but there you are. No accounting for taste. Here in the UK we only had the painted symbol one with green eyes. That's a great idea thank you! I'm gonna take a look and learn a lil pony history!!! Others have answered your questions better than I ever could, but I just wanted to chime in to say wow, congrats on such an incredible haul! Look at that super-white Gingerbread! I can't get over how clean and good they all look...I wonder what their story is and how they came to wind up in a thrift store; they are lucky ponies to end up in the hands of a collector. I'm so excited for you! Thank you! I really wondered that myself. The majority of my collection comes from thrift stores and flea markets and by far they are some of the most clean and best condition I have! That's such a lovely haul of ponies, and amazing that you found them in the wild. Congratulations! Thanks a ton! I'm definitely feeling super lucky for finding them, to think I almost left the thrift store because I wasn't finding anything. I'm so glad I double checked ![]() 64
Pony Corral / Re: Unpopular Pony Opinions« on: January 09, 2021, 08:06:28 PM »
I know this probably isn't an unpopular opinion but
Spoiler for tiny rant with very very mild nsfw topic Spoiler Bronies pretending to be the first male fans to be into MLP is infuriating to me :/ This is coming from someone who really got into MLP from G4 (even though I had some G3's as a kid) Guys have been into MLP and collecting from the beginning and they managed to not be creepy! Honestly I'd go as far as to say if G4's characters hadn't been sexualized as much as they have on the internet, most of those "bronies" wouldn't be fans at all! I genuinely think some bronies are only in the fandom for nsfw purposes (some women included!) I wish I could have known the fandom before G4/Bronies, without the constant gross sexualization of ponies. Maybe I'm just put off from being exposed to really disgusting content at a young age In short, non-brony guy collectors are super cool and I respect them a whole lot 65

I got her when I was 5, and she was so bright I was sure her hair glowed in the dark xD. Thanks a ton! I got super exited seeing Bright eyes, I really liked the Tales series so I was happy to find her! I did check and my Gusty has glitter and aqua eyes, I didn't know there was Euro Gusty with glitter :oc I really need to do more research on non US ponies. wow great ponies. Yes you have Movie Stars, Paradise is a deflock , and look at all those ponies in great condition! Thank you so much!! I'm still so surprised at how good of condition they are, especially since I found them in "the wild" lol, some of them still have their hair styled a little 66

Pony Corral / Re: How to tell the difference between US and UK/Euro G1's?« on: January 05, 2021, 06:23:22 PM »That's a quite impressive thrift haul!! I'm not surprised to hear Paradise is a deflock, I had my doubts since her hoof mark was just like a US pony. Who ever deflocked her though did a wonderful job! This is my first time dealing with any non US ponies since I barely find any US ponies where I live to begin with haha! I think these had to've come from another collector because all of these ponies where in good condition especially hair wise, not to mention the odds of having ponies from a different region. Not sure why they'd donate such a good chunk of a collection though! ![]() Wind WHistler is definitely a Movie Star pony (European release). I think North Star is too. I am pretty certain Paradise is a deflock, if you look carefully on her hooves you can see something like fur residue in the printing. PinkKittyWinks is excellent at identifying those kinds of details though. I deal more with the UK/Euro releases. Omg nice catch!!! I didn't even notice but you're right she still has a little flocking on her hoof! I'm really curious how so many European ponies got over here, I feel like its super odd to find so many. I checked my Sundance and she had Hong Kong on her hoof so shes a US pony! I hate to play favorites but Shady was definitely my fav out of the bunch. I've wanted her ever since I watched the G1 movie and I'm glad I was able to get a non flocked variant. Her bright colors are just wonderful and I'd hate to have them buried under flocking ![]() 68

I was able to go thrifting again recently after a very long wait (Covid, Moving apartments etc)
Since I've been quarantined for a while, haven't been around anyone who tested positive and have had no symptoms I decided to go. My wait seemed to have payed off because I found around 30 or so ponies in my one and only trip! My problem is these Ponies are ones that in the US are So Soft Ponies. I don't know how to tell if these are just US Ponies that have been deflocked or if they came that way and are Non US Ponies!

Am I the only one who gets very frequent dreams about ponies?
![]() Specifically for me its finding them in thrift stores or flea markets! I had one last night where I was in a huge flea market and found a few, I don't remember all of the ponies I found but I do remember I found Bright Glow, Mommy Bright Bouquet and weirdly enough Nachtlicht! I was super excited and telling my boyfriend to grab her off this super tall shelf because she's a German pony. I guess I just really miss going pony hunting haha 71

Pony Corral / Re: Do you curl your ponies hair?« on: May 22, 2020, 08:55:19 AM »Sometimes I curl hair that's too long, or if I just think they'd look cute with curly hair Those curls are just amazing ( ![]() ![]() Post Merge: May 22, 2020, 08:56:25 AM I strongly believe curls can drastically change a pony. Just look at PL Twilight: She looks adorable! I've been wanting to get my hands on one of the PL ponies, how's their hair quality is it any better or worse than g3.5? 73

Pony Corral / Re: Ugly ponies?« on: May 18, 2020, 01:06:30 PM »
A good few of my ponies are in more baity in condition I think it gives them more personality. My Waterfire has really bad scratches and cuts, I see them as scars because shes adventurous! I found them that way, I rescued them from thrift stores and flea markets
I clean them up and take care of them. I see them as my friends, I could never just throw them away because they are "ugly" I think its very superficial to only like the ponies that are perfect. Not to mention some people can't afford to pay 30$+ dollars for a single perfect or MOC condition pony. I don't know if its just the way you wrote this post but it just comes across as really rude and negative. The reason to collect ponies is because I love ponies regardless of condition. 75
