So about a month ago I moved back home and was determined to dig out my box of old pony toys I was obsessed with when I was little. Sadly, they were in storage and not the back room as I had thought, delaying my search. But today I finally had the time to get down and dirty and dig all the way into the back of our storage, amidst mounds of boxes and dust, to pull out my box of childhood toys. Just as I remembered, the box was filled with old beanie babies and tons of ponies. But...not My Little Ponies. Lots of Grand Champions, Barbie ponies, miscellaneous generic ponies, and my oh-so favorite set of tiny Pound Puppy ponies that I adore almost as much as my official ponies. But as for real deal? Well, turns out my memory isn't what I thought it was, I only had 2! But two or twenty, seeing these little ladies have really brought back some memories and I'm so happy to have them back with me. Perhaps you can tell me a little more about them?

Haha, I actually feel pretty terrible about this leggy lady, since I remember, as a child, I hadn't even known she was an official pony! I thought she was a fakie (or, a pony "wannabe as I called her), and it wasn't until recently I discovered she actually is a Hasbro pony. I am also curious what generation she is from? 1 or 2?

And this sweet darling <3 Yes, I do remember her very much. I was obsessed with ballerinas when I was younger and I loved the way her legs could move.  I'm thinking she was actually my very first My Little Pony! I don't know if there are others made like her or if they are difficult to find, but even though I don't usually seek out armies and whatnot, I am feeling the tug to find her a little ballerina friend.

So there we have it. Maybe not as impressive as the huge childhood collections of some, but I'm happy with my pair.  I've never cleaned up a pony before but I think tomorrow I'd like to try to restore some life to these girls, especially my darling little baby pony.

UPDATE: With some lovely help from kiss_the_thunder I got my gals all fixed up and looking gorgeous again! I'm shocked at just how soft and lovely my little ballerina's mane and tail are, and while Pretty Belle may not be a prom queen anymore, she doesn't even look like the same pony anymore!

I LOVE the Lil' Woodsies playsets, like, absolutely adore them <3 They remind me of the Barbie sets I had when I was younger that had all these tiny extras to set up and display. I don't have enough space for any atm, but gosh darn, those are way too cute.

And thank you everyone for sharing your photos! I also wanted to share (haha, suggesting in my owh thread), that I popped into Micheals today to pick up some supplies and took a gander down their wood aisle. They have a very cute plain wooden castle that opens up, and looks like it could hold about 20 G4 sized ponies very comfortably. It's $19.99 and I'm thinking a good choice for some of you craftier collectors out there. It's certainly on my 'maybe' list for sure!

I drew this back in March, but this is my first time sharing any of my real pony art. Rarity and Big Mac is one of my favorite ships, and as Rarity is also one of my favorite ponies I was naturally inclined to draw these two as my first. Hope you like!

Aww, she's really cleaned up beautifully! Just look at that hair! I'm so happy to see her all cleaned up and looking gorgeous with you, thank you for sharing her 

Went to Target yesterday with my sister to get some picture frames. Had a leftover gift card from Christmas with about $11 on it so of course I had to check out the ponies. I'm still missing Twilight, Rainbow and Pinkie from my mane 6 collection and I had wanted the latter two...but then I saw what other brushables they had for offer. Fell instantly in love with Diamond Rose (even if her eye is a little wonky) and knew she was mine...and then I saw HoneyBuzz, which reminds me a lot of BumbleSweet from the Blind Bags, who also happened to be one of my favorite BB ponies, so....

I still really want the other 3 and I will get them some day, but I'm remembering how they had another pegasus for sale with feathers as her cutie mark, and she's been on my mind...

Some of those are SO pretty! I'm really confused though...so, they are up to at least 5 or 6 waves of the Blind Bag ponies? I know here in the US we're still waiting on the 2nd wave..so where are all the other waves being released at? Other countries or just available online somewhere? Is there a place to figure out which  ponies belong to which wave in an organized list of some sort?

Perhaps I am just extremely lucky, but I can't find anything wrong with any of my G4 ponies. But then again, aside from my Blind Bag ponies, I only own four of them, Rarity, Fluttershy, AppleJack and Ploomette. I just inspected all of them over again in detail and there aren't any mismatched heads/bodies, rubbed off cutie marks or excess glue. The only problem I noticed was that AppleJack has the tiniest of scratches on her eye which I had to really study to notice, but that very well could have been my own fault as I wasn't the most careful with storing away my ponies when I moved a month ago.

I would still like to get the other three of the mane 6, along with a few others, so I'll certainly be more aware when it comes to quality control issues and whatnot. I dunno, I never really looked too close at them when I bought them and they're all quite pretty to me!
