I hope they make baby ponies And the big brothers. And flutters!!

But I would also be happy with TAFs. Munchy

I only have PS3 so I am playing FFX and FF10.5 as well as Kingdom Hearts. The first game.

I really want to play the upgrade of my favorite game FFVIII. Anyone knows if I need PS5 to play it?

I marked my ponies hooves with red permanent marker, since me and my sister used to quarrel over toys and I think it made it easier for my mom when She knew which toys belonged to each child The first ponies my mom probably marked, but I remember that when I got Dream Castle for my birthday I wanted to do it myself. I was so scared that I would miss and mark Majesty on her body instead of under her hoof. So of course I did exactly that. One red permanent marker line across her tummy. I cried. I never liked poor Majesty because of that, so she ended up being evil. It was My 5th birthday. My mom marked all My other ponies until I was perhaps 8 or 9, and I got Summer Wing Skydancer. This time I used black pen, and of course. I ended up giving her a black spot on her foreleg. After that I stopped marking ponies altogether. Not even my mom were allowed near them with anything resembling a permanent marker

Dana and Diva were from Barbie and the Rockers. I always wanted one of those Barbie's but never had her. I did have other Barbie and the Rockers merchandise like story books and coloring books though. For a birthday present my husband bought me the reproduction Barbie and the Rockers doll that was part of the My Favorite Barbie line that Mattel made for the 50th Anniversary of Barbie.

My mom only had one Barbie type doll from when she was a child, so we never played with it, it was in a doll case. Compared to the 80's and 90's faces I can totally see why you would have pretended the older ones were evil/mean. They do have a particular look about them, almost a snooty or haughty look compared to the 80's dolls.

Oh! Cool! Thank you- Barbie and the rockers! Didn’t know that! I still have them, tucked away in a box in the attic. Poor girls. I’ve always been more worried about my ponies. And especially Diva ended up with such a mess of hair. I briefly wanted to try to sort it out when I first got into ponies, but it is such a MESS. I never dared to try. Are there any good tutorials on how to do this with Barbie hair? Detangle curly hair? 

My mom also just had one, but we were allowed to play with her. I was a pretty careful kid. I cried bloody murder if any of my toys got even a scratch But then again, since she was evil she wasn’t really a big part of the storyline. She came in, delivered her evil lines and left the mayhem that followed.

I love the look of the old Barbies now that I’m old(er). But I can see why child me didn’t. They do have a snooty look to them - I agree. But they are really fashionable and the look is so in style with the 50/60’s era. I would love to have a small collection of those older dolls with their outfits, but they are so insanely expensive!

I was never a doll person growing up very much (the irony when I got into Monster High!), but I do remember having Christie, Barbie's friend, a couple of times. I remember when the mermaid Barbie line was huuuuge but I was always disappointed with mermaid dolls in that the tails would be fabric and the legs hidden inside. That's not a real mermaid, dangit!

I think the inflexibility of the legs put me off. I was fascinated by the smallness of the shoes and clothing, though!

I wasn’t really a doll person either, loved my stuffed animals the most, ponies, keypers , dinosaurs and playmo horses (and of course the Victorian area playmo sets ). But for some reason, Barbies I liked. For a period of time (after my older sister got sick of ponies) we played with Barbies quite a lot. Of course, the animals were important- and I had some favorites of the dolls and didn’t bother that much with those that weren’t favorites.

Did you know that Barbie has released a new line with Mermaids? With actual mermaid tails? My nieces have them and play with them a lot. They are actually really cool! And of course I really like the body positivity with different body shapes which also these mermaids have. And they are colorful!

Toyjunky: Thank you! That helped a lot! Looking at those Flickr images I see that my Merida is the 1st edition Animator doll. I was looking into starting a collection, but now I realize I have no room for these dolls. I’m thinking I have to let her go. Do you guys now of a doll forum or something where I can look into prices and such?

I’m looking at old episodes of Friends and some of the punch Lines makes me laugh out loud

I think the necklace with the purple pony is g3. I did sell a Pinkie Pie with a pink one once, and if I remember correctly she was a little bit more popular than my other girls back then.

Are you sure those shoes are g1? I can’t really remember those shoes from any play set or clothing set. But I might be wrong, I don’t remember much from the later g1 releases;)

Edit: the pink comb is G1, though. Probably from the Pretty Parlor with Peachy because of the saddle and hats

Welcome! Sounds like you are already on your way of getting your collection I have mostly g1s too, but the g3s are cute. I have a couple Snowflake and Seaspray, and I really like Breezie. But I’m trying to keep my collection small Like I’m sure you already noticed - it’s difficult! :lookaround:
