Hi! My two boys (7 and 3 1/2) have gotten really into MLP, and I have to say, I'm getting sucked in myself. My wife keeps telling me "Don't become a Brony!" but I just started collecting Funko Vinyls and stashing them in the closet (for when my 7-year-old gets older... sure, that's why).

My 7-year-old is actually on the autism spectrum, and MLP makes him really happy. He can often be a kind of "completist" about his obsessions, so I'm glad to be joining this community.

BTW, does anyone know if they make large versions (24"x36" or bigger) of the Season 1,2 or 3 posters of all the characters (the ones they gave away free at Walmart and ComicCon). Those are the kind of posters the 7-year-old loves.

Hello, welcome to the arena!

 :welcome: GeekPoppa!!!

I am sure someone here has the posters you are looking for. I would regularly check out our For Sale forum, as they do pop up from time to time. Or start a Wanted thread for them.  :)

I have full sets of the posters you're talking about, though those are for Season 2 and I don't know if they make them in any larger sizes. I think there is a full cast Season 1 poster in a larger size like that, but it's really rare and really expensive if you can even find it.

Welcome to the herd ;P
I have a 20-month-old and he loves playing with my ponies. Consequently, a few of the ponies in my collection are not exactly in mint condition anymore... ^^; I love seeing other parents sharing MLP with their kids! (Need more baby brony playdates, imo)

I'm sure you'll be able to find a couple of people here with those posters for sale. :>

I'm happy you're so accepting of your sons' interests! If you ever need advice for the autism thing, I'm open. Diagnosed with Asperger's.

Welcome to the Arena :wave:

It looks like you are getting some good info on the posters you seek.  I live in New Zealand and I'm pretty sure we don't have them here :)

Welcome! I'm so happy that your children have found a hobby that they enjoy and that you are supportive of them.  This is a great place to find merch from all over the world.  Plus we have a great custom/art forum as well.  There is even a huge MLP fair in July.  And there are usually smaller fairs in each state once a year. :)
I'm not really on here anymore. Email me if you need my for something.
