Hello! New to the Arena

[SenselessTwaddle]

Hi everyone!

My name's Sarah! I'm 22 years old and have been living in Ohio my whole life. I was not into ponies as a child, but like many with the release of Friendship is Magic and the subsequent toy line I've become a big fan! I've yet to watch any other Gen's cartoon, but would like to in the future.

I've been collecting since late 2010-early 2011. I started out with G4s but have been slowly adding ponies from every generation in as well. My collection is currently around 120+ the majority being G4 blind bags (they came in nice big sets!) I'm become particularly keen to G1 ponies and would like to add more in the future. I also have a soft spot for Fakies and have a small number of them.

I was very interested in customizing ponies when I first started collecting, but haven't been able to yet. Hopefully that will change soon! Aside from that I also like to draw, knit, and crochet. I'm pretty shy when it comes to posting on forums so forgive me if I'm rather quiet. I look forward to meeting everyone!

Welcome to the forums, Sarah! There's lots of tips and tutorials in the Customs forum if you ever feel like trying customizing! I hope you like it here and find it easy to comment and participate.

welcome to the arena!
if you do watch some of the older gens keep an eye out for some G4 ponies! a lot of the ponies in G3 return in G4 and some G1's were renamed and/or edited for g4

Yay! Welcome to the area, sounds like you're one crafty gal, and I think you'll find that creativity is highly valued in this community

Welcome to the Arena! We have a lot of collectors from your part of the world I love your introduction and that sounds like quite a collection of ponies you already have!

Welcome to the Arena

I would love to see a pic of all your blind bag collection if you felt like sharing one in the brags forum!  They are just so cute and colourful

Hello, Sarah! Welcome to the Arena!

I followed the same path as you, started as a G4 fan but developed a big soft spot for the original ponies. I know Shout Factory! has been re-releasing some of the old cartoons and netflix has a few G3 ones on instant stream as well. Plus there's always youtube! I highly recommend watching Rescue at Midnight Castle. I hope you'll give customizing a try, enjoy the forums!

Sure! As soon as I can get some batteries for my camera I'll try and get some pics to share!

I've heard a lot of people recommending Rescue at Midnight Castle and will definitely be checking it out!
