Bonjour!
« on: August 25, 2014, 11:01:30 AM »
Hi all!

I'm Jenny, I'm located in Canada, and MLP is only one aspect of my 1980s toy collection -- Strawberry Shortcake is my first love but in recent years I've been expanding into other '80s toy lines. MLP is daunting because it's SO HUGE but now I just throw caution to the wind and pick up the G1s I find at thrift stores (of course, I also still own all my original childhood ponies from the '80s!) I also have a few G3s and a bunch of G4s.

I have two toy-related Tumblrs: Toys of the '80s (strictly 1980s toys) and then also Palais de Jouets ("Toy Palace," which contains toys from all eras as well as other cool girly and pastel stuff).

Hi and welcome.  The 80s had such awesome toys didn't it?  Good luck building up your G1 pony collection! :frolic:

Cool! I am always on the lookout for good existing Tumblr posts of toys. I really work hard to post only properly sourced images where you can trace them back to their origin.

My childhood ponies are: Apple Jack, a So Soft Lickety Split and a Baby Lickety Split (in my mind, mother and daughter, obviously!), Twinkle Eye Sweet Stuff and Powder.

A goal for collecting I currently have is the Twice-as-Fancy Sugarberry!! I love strawberries as a motif.

An exciting thing that happened recently was that I posted a photo of an eBay auction for Daisy Dancer and then a couple weeks later found one at the thrift store! She needed a little TLC but now she's doing great. I love the aqua/lavender colour scheme. :D

^ Applejack was one of my childhood ponies too.  You will be stoked when you see Sugerberry in real life. She is a stunner (one of my very favourite G1s)  :P
