Need way to display my G4s at my dorm

[brittney_rochelle]

I have about...30? Yeah that seems right. That doesn't include the blindbags and 4 FSs that I have still. (Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Wedding!Celestia. Message me if you want them...) I want to take them back to college with me so I can love them and they don't collect dust. What would be a good way to display them? I don't have shelves or anything like that. I have the mane 6, collectors, and internationals on top of my closet, but the rest are home.
I can fit a few more on the window still but my MH gals are there.

Ugh, I have a lot of stuff! Any ideas?

I'd think about twice about taking beloved collectibles with you to a dorm.    People can be cruel and take them for no reason at all, and then you might casually mention they are worth money and have someone steal them for profit.  There are also pranks played, and they might go "missing"! 

Plus there are the roommates' fights and tiffs, which can cause damage to anything you hold dear. 

I'd recommend also asking your roommates' feelings on the matter before you move the herd into every available space.  While some people find it charming, others are sort of ... disturbed by having their private space spied upon always by My Little Ponies.  :-p

Best of luck!

i  would er  on the side of cuation espacialy if you ahe a roomate.  becuase  you have to think.  that if you ahve a roomate  then you arent always thre and the roommate might bring   who  knows  into the room..  and  as  it has already been mentioned. they could be stolen.  and sold.  i know someone who ahd a roomate  who was selling his  things on bay.  nad he didint even know it untill he stumbled onto one of the auctions.  aslo you dont  know  if someones goign ot go oh cute pony! nd take it.  or set them on fire.. or do otehr htings.. all in all i'd only take  a few. and no rare or expensive ones.  on the other hand if you have your own  room then it sok.

It is always good to air on the side of caution as far as roommates are concerned. If you alreayd know you'r roommate, don't have one, or have thought about this and decide it's okay to bring your ponies:
 -you could find cheap wire build-it-yourself shelving units
 -glue magnets to their feet and attach them to your bed, if it's metal?
 -Line them up on the windowsill or up where the window lock is Never mind, you covered that.
 -designate an area of our desk and put a small shelf there for ponies. You could make one out of carboard if you don't want to buy one.

Honestly, I wouldn't bring that many ponies to college, even there isn't a problem with roommate(s). Unless you have the room to yourself, dorm rooms are tiny, man.

Have you ever tried one of these? They're really cheap, but they work well and are really useful for saving space. You could fit lots of ponies on one of these!

Haha My roommates are long term friends. They collect too and have most of the ones I do. Our room is filled with collectibles and memorabilia anyway. We are both MLP and anime fans.
I have a 4 person suite so room isn't REALLY an issue but I like neatness.
In any case, I decided that I would only take my favorites and switch them out every so often when I come home! My younger brother promised to take a swifer duster to them every week.

Which ones do you guys think I should take with me next time?
At home I have:

Spoiler

Diamond Rose
Cheerilee x2 (bangs and not/raised hoof)
Dewdrop Dazzle
Plumsweet
Honeybuzz
Springtime Fluttershy
Twinkleshine
Snowcatcher
Lulu Luck
Cupcake
Starbeam Twinkle (ops, taking her anyway!)
Unnamed Pink Unicorn with Blue Hair, No Cutie Mark
Glimmerwings Ploomette
Cherry Pie
Feathermay
Flitterheart

The rest are at my dorm waiting!

Hmmm....it can be a little difficult to make suggestions without understand the size and space you have available or the furniture they could be placed on.

I would simply suggest a tiny little bookcase/shelving unit [even a corner bathroom shelf unit] which could feature them - they are cheap enough to pick up. And if that doesnt work I like the idea of saply's some kind of mobile suspending them from the ceiling lol

If it was me next time I would take:
Diamond Rose
Honeybuzz
Lulu Luck
Cupcake

What about hanging a shoe organizer on your door or wall?

oh, here's one with toys, but I wouldn't put more than one in each pocket

Or depending on how big your dorm is, there's something more like this

You don't want to keep ponies in the window, they'll fade.  Since hanging shelves in a dorm isn't really an option, your best bet is just letting a few live on your desk I would think.

I have this same problem in my dorm room! My ponies have a home on top of a large shelving unit that I put on the top of my desk to add extra shelves for my printer and snacks, they are so content up there! Other than that, on the top of a desk, dresser, or small bookcase would be your best bet.

This is a great solution!! Love it

[StarDragon]

Haha, I love the idea of hanging them from string or something. I wish I could do that for mine, but our dorms have high ceilings and we'd get in trouble because it's a "fire hazard" or something...... so I just put them on the window pane. Lame, I know. lol

Ha Ha!  Cute idea!  I like it.

You could try putting one or 2 wall shelves on one of the walls around your bed so that it doesn't take up to much walking/furniture space like a book shelf would.

That's a pretty neat idea - I wonder where I could do that at home myself!

My uni would have said the same if I'd done it in my campus room - the cleaners used to confiscate candles or incense in case we set fire to things!

I only kept between 5-8 ponies at a time in my dorm room Usually I would switch them out depending on the holiday or season. I also kept ones that I had sent to my dorm in my room until I went home I kept them confined to my desk area so as not to weird out my roomie
