Hello

[Nezumitoo]

Hello, I'm here to make my introduction.

My name is Nezumi. I'm a near 41 year old collector mother of two (one biological and one four legged Chipin rescue xD) who has loved MLPs since I was a child. I used to collect them back then, spent all my monies on new ponies when they hit the toy stores in fact. I lost touch with them as I got older and life took over. When my daughter was small and the G3s were being released, I found my love of them all over again. When we'd go to Toys-r-Us and she'd ask for her Yu-gi-Oh toys or cards, I was buying myself ponies -haha.

Several cross country moves over the last 6 years have wiped my collections a few more times than I'd have liked, and only recently have I been able to begin re-collecting some of my childhood favorites again. Sparkle ponies, Flutter ponies, Summer and Windy Wings, Glo-n-Shows, Perfume Puffs, Loving Families, newborns, Candy Canes, TAFs and Merry go Rounds have always been some of my favs and the very first to make it back onto my shelves. 

Aside from ponies, I also collect ABJDs, Novistars, Monster high [repaints as I don't have any defaults], Lalaloopsy, Care Bears, Vintage Fairy Tale books, Pullips, Movie props (mainly Harry Potter, the Hobbit and LOTR, but misc other things as well) vintage vanity sets, Lolita fashion, Blythe (sort of, I've only really just begun), Sylvanian Families, Strawberry Shortcake, misc. Disney and much much more. I enjoy things and I can't exactly get myself to focus in on any one particular thing so I tend to collect whatever happens to strike my fancy... which is a lot ^_^

Anywho, so yes. Hello. I look forward to lurking about.

Hello! I'm new here too- I look forward to getting to know you and everyone else here. It's cool that you're into so many collections, just doing ponies seems like enough work for me (lol). Looking forward to seeing pics from your collection if you are so inclined.

Welcome to the Arena! It sounds like you have a great collection - some of those are my favourite sets as well. It must be exciting to recollect and look out for different ponies. I hope you have a good time on the boards.

Haha, having multiple collections can be both fun and aggravating. On one hand I enjoys having All. The. Things. but then on the other, I can get overwhelmed by them at times and a little irritated at myself for not being able to choose just one thing and excel in it alone xD

And I definitely will post pictures at some point, and same goes in return. I'm always happy to see other peep's collections ^_^
