One of my favourite photos, my Dad with BOTH cats on him!  Jem is the one with more white and Jess is the bigger one. Miss them all so much, I haven't been able to visit my parents house since Christmas with all the rules. But it's to keep them safe. My parents are both considered venerable to the virus.
My phone screen is two pictures of both Jess and Jem one for lock screen one for main background :P

Customs / Re: Rare or bait?
« on: January 22, 2021, 08:49:59 AM »
The first picture of Morning Glory - I'm not sure how rare she is, but despite not having her wings her hair is in really good condition so I wouldn't personally class her as bait.

The second picture has some fairly hard to find ponies such as Braided Beauty (does her hair mechanism still work? ) Sunny Bunch, Barnacle, TAF Sundance is sought after- but this one  could benefit from a re hair.

The third picture has two Apple Family babies- as far as I know these are rare!

However, it's completely up to you what you do with your own collection. Personally I would restore, not customise a few of these- don't let that stop your creativity. I'm sure they will turn out as stunning as your other customs !

Forever annoyed that Hasbro put three beautifully designed G3 ponies- (Strawberry Reef, Shelle Belle and Tangerine Sunset.) - in that notorious broken neck pose.
I'm also not keen on the "Waterfire pose" despite some gorgeous ponies having it. However, I don't own any so they may look better in person.

As for colours, I wish G3 Bowtie had a baby blue body similar to her G1 counterpart.
I can't think of anything else specific that hasn't already been mentioned. I wish a lot of ponies who are pink were a different colour that suits their name/theme better.

Hello and welcome ! Starcatcher is one of my favourites too. I've just got my childhood one so far (the one with blue wings) But I aim to collect all versions to create a magical Starcatcher army !  :heart:

Here's mine, both taken in 2004 on an early digital camera. I was 8 years old (I'm 25 now :3 )

I took this one myself in my bedroom with some G2 playsets. I let the fakies join in too! I miss that yellow Chap Mei fakie.

This was taken at the 2004 UK PonyCon! I'm sorry I don't remember who the table belonged to. Who else was there? and do you remember this nerdy child ?  :D I'm so lucky my parents took me - I haven't been to a convention since. Hopefully this year's con will go ahead  :heart:

Yeah, it is sad really Taffeta. I'm glad now we're adults we can just enjoy things without fear of judgement  :heart:

Off Topic / Re: Coffee or tea? How do you enjoy it?
« on: December 13, 2020, 02:14:00 PM »
This thread is so interesting, love hearing everyone's creative adventures with hot drinks  :awake:

I'm a typical British person and drink around 6 cups of tea a day haha (English breakfast blend with oat milk.)

Every night before bed I drink Chamomile tea. I enjoy most other herbal teas as well.

I enjoy coffee sometimes, if its an overly flavoured pumpkin spice type one ;)

I LOVE that unicorn! I wish she had been a brushable. It's crazy that she was the first unicorn, was this also before unicorns were released in the toyline? Her horn isn't the signature MLP style chunky horn!

Also, does she have a symbol?

No symbol that you can see, she wears the apron in the story. Perhaps a future custom idea :3
Yeah this was 2005 so before the first unicorn toy- G3 Rarity.

When I originally posted on the Arena, it was around 2005-2008 and everyone was lovely. Despite a few scammers as others have mentioned.
Earlier than that I was just a kid with no internet access, so enjoying ponies in peace :)

HOWEVER. Adults and children alike (In IRL.) would criticise my hobby. I brought some G3 ponies to school once and bullies took them off me and kicked them around the playground. For some reason, there was this general consensus that MLP was "too young" a toy for me to play with at ages 7-12??? I could talk more about this but I don't wish to be too negative.

I'd like to think that "outsiders" are generally more accepting now. Most people my age now think it's cool to collect vintage toys. And the whole negative Brony stereotype is becoming a thing of the past.

You could use pink highlighter ink mixed in water, Ivy's pink in her hair is kind of a pastel-neon. (I've never tried this, but I believe there is tutorial somewhere.)

I've re pinked pony hair with semi-permanent pink hair dye left in for 10 mins then rinsed out. I don't know how easy it is to get your hands on such a hair dye, I just have plenty because I dye my own hair with it.  :P

Using tape sounds like it would protect her body well :) - please share the results once you're done !

Pony Corral / Re: Hunting 'round the house for ponies

An exciting treasure Hunt ! Looking forward to seeing more of your finds. Always nice to see a MacDonald's pony in there, I think the G3 ones were really pretty.
I'd recommend dedicating a box for them to keep them separated from other things while you're tidying up. :3

Oh my goodness, there is so many rememberable moments from MLP media, I really should go back and watch ones I haven't seen. Here's one of my favourite comics, from the My Little pony G3 Annual 2005.
 I LOVE this mysterious unicorn artist. As far as I'm aware, she was the first G3 unicorn to appear in any media. She lives in a cottage in the woods painting all day (Aka, My life goals!)
Does anyone know if she was ever given a name?
