Recollecting
« on: November 24, 2013, 11:09:21 AM »
Hello Pony lovers,

I watched the documentary 'Bronies; The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of my Little Pony.'  I thought it was wonderful and it made me start thinking about my pony collection.

I remember getting the 6 first original ponies as a little girl.  I collected for a few more years after that but then I guess I moved on to other things like boys!  Luckily, my mom kept all those original ponies in storage for me!  She took an inventory of them for me then I was off to ebay!

I am an Architect in Tucson AZ.  I am familiar with ComicCon (San Diego isn't that far) and saw some of the Ponycon and Art ponies and had to have them. They are truly works of art.  I guess they are my favorite and really got me back into collecting them. I don't collect any other toys.

So now I am fleshing out my G1 collection (earlier years), some G3's (mainly ones that are rare or unusual, have gradient painting on legs, or just appeal to me).  I am also buying the G4's as they come out (only the standard size ones with hair) they aren't my favorite but i respect they have renewed interest in MLP.

Nice to meet all of you!
Sophie

Welcome to the Arena, Sophie :wave:

It's amazing how many people who grew up with G1 ponies have returned to collecting with the release of the G3 and G4 lines!  I am a G1 fan myself but I have a heap of G3s and a few of the other gens in my collection too.  I hope you enjoy the Arena and chatting with the other pony fans here :D

Welcome! :)

With toys and dolls, I always buy the ones I love, because I'll be living with them for a long time.

Welcome to the arena. I think a good bit of users on here are buying/rebuying collections they once had, its a common practice!Good luck to you and hope to see you around.
