Hi everyone!

[Dipper]

I go by Dipper, and I'm a fairly casual collector but I enjoy the restoring process of vinyl toys and learning about the different processes there are to take what often seem like bait ponies back to their just opened box feel. I have silently studied and kept on the outskirts of the collecting community for a few years now (mostly out of shyness) and figured it was high time to make more of an effort to get involved.

So excited to meet everyone!

Hi Dipper. Welcome to the Arena

I hear you on restoring ponies (and other well-loved toys) back to their original state. There is something really satisfying about seeing a manky pony all re-haired and new again.  Enjoy the forums

Hello!  I love your choice in username, and, well name too I suppose!  Have you restored ponies already then?  It'd be really cool to see before and after pictures someday, I'm sure!
