Nice to meet you all!

Hi! I am a young collector who has very quickly grown interested in collecting cute toys, mostly of the vintage variety, after noticing how adorable and shy looking the original Collector's Pose ponies were. In a few months I move in with my steady, and we plan to have a ton of adventures treasure hunting for vintage toys in thrift stores, antique stores, and yard sales! For now, I find it very fun just to learn about the different kinds and their history.

My teensy collection so far consists of: Parasol, Tossles, Forget-Me-Not, a g2 McDonalds, and a whole bunch of fakies from a friend. I LOVE fakies, Maybe even most! I think it adds so much variety to collecting, especially because you can come across ones you never knew existed no matter how much you enjoy the research. Thank you for having me here!

Welcome to the Arena.  We have several other fakie collectors here, so you have some company.

Hi and welcome to the Arena  

It's nice your other half is happy to help you look for ponies!  Hunting is much better with two pairs of eyes (and four hands for grabbing, lol!).  I hope you enjoy the forums and I look forward to seeing you around

Welcome to the Arena! How lovely that you are collecting some of the older generations - how much older than you are some of your ponies?!

Have a great time on the forums.

That's actually a really fun thing to think about! Some are over ten years older than me! It's sorta interesting that I love vintage toys, many I am too young to remember from my own childhood  I have a few original Strawberry Shortcakes I adore, and it sometimes is surreal to think about how they've been around before I was born. I always feel like older toys hold so much more life in them.

Fakies are really fun! There is such a great variety and craziness in them that I can't help but like them and collect them, adding to the herd every time I see a new fun fakie. Welcome and I hope to see you around!

Hi, MagicStar! Welcome to the Arena!

I'm sure your collection will get growing, thrift hunting for toys is always fun. Someone has to love those fakies, sadly only a few appeal to me, but some collectors really love them! Enjoy the forums!
