Hello from a lost pony!

[Zombelina]

Hi! I'm a Canadian pony lover from way back -- I'm an 80s baby and I grew up with G1 ponies    I kept my childhood ponies and then started collecting more G1s in the early 2000s. That trailed off several years ago, but last year I got back into collecting Disney dolls, and then from there I got hooked on Monster High dolls, aaand then I started noticing how cute all the G4 ponies are and yeah -- now I'm collecting ponies again!


I have around 125 G1s in my collection, in varying condition as I don't usually mind some marks and whatnot. I'm thinking of eventually trading maybe half of them for G1s higher on my wishlist. Sticking to G1 for now, and going to try to stick to trades too, because all my money goes to MH dolls these days! (The woes of collecting All The Things.)


I won't inflict my entire collection on you, but my favourite ponies in my herd are the Sparkle Babies, Baby Countdown, Gusty & BBE Baby Gusty, SS Twist, TE Masquerade, TAF Sweet Tooth, BB Chief, GNS Dazzleglow and PP Bubblefish. Oh, and Creamsicle!


I was never really part of any online communities a decade (omg) ago, though I did buy some ponies here and there when the local thrifting was slow. So I'm excited to join here and hang out with all of you! I will work on posting my wishlist and trades list soon.

Welcome! What's your fav monster high?  This is a great place to chat, customize, hang out with like minded people.  I'm sure you'll be very happy here.  Have a wonderful weekend I look forwards to seeing you around the forum.

Ps. I love your DA.  Can we expect some pony/monster high fan art??

Welcome to the Arena!  I am sure you will find lots of like-minded people to chat with.  Your collection sounds great.  Feel free to post some pics in the Brags forum for us to look at

Hello!

Nice to meet you, and I'm glad you've found your way back to ponies again!

Greetings and good afternoon, Zombelina. Welcome to the Arena.

[Zombelina]

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, everyone! It's lovely here already.

Sarahlacewing: My faves are Basic Ghoulia, Spectra, Toralei and Rochelle--which are yours? I also can't wait for the Roller Maze girls to come out, they're too cute! I'm happy you like my dA I've been thinking about doing some fan art as a break from my historical projects so, yeah! Very possible!

kiwimlp: Thanks! I will definitely post photos sometime. I love doing photoshoots of my collections, they hold still so much better than my cats

little.fox: Me too, I can't believe I was away from ponies for so long! I don't know how I stood it.

SourdoughStomper: Thanks! You guys are all super sweet

Frankie is my favorite.  She is just so cute and I love her personality.  I only have one doll but I like making clothes for her.  Many people make custom monster high clothes or even custom monsters.  It's really neat. It would be awesome to see some art from you.  And if you ever decide to customize your art skills will come in handy.  I collect other vintage toys as well as ponies. Let me know if you need any help or if you ever want to do art/pony/toy swaps I like to help people out so they can build up feedback.

I love Frankie too, she's such a darling! Her Dead Tired version is my fave 

And thanks! Really sweet of you! I just looked at your wishlist and I am likely going to have some G1 babies up for trade. I think some are baity, but I've got to properly inventory their condition and take photos yet, though. So maybe we can do a swap sometime 


PS thanks mlpfan and teresat for the welcome, too!
