Hi!

[Shy Violet]

Hi everyone! My name is Julia, I'm 29 and a stay at home mom to 2 kids. I've been collecting MLP on and off my whole life. I had a big G1 collection as a kid which I still have. I started collecting G1's again when I was in my teens, buying them off Ebay and hunting flea markets and garage sales (I also collected Care Bears at that time). After my daughter was born in 2007 I bought a fair number of G3's and saved them for her, I liked that they looked like the G1's. And now finally my daughter and I are collecting G4's She also loves my old collection which I've passed on to her. My husband wouldn't like me displaying ponies everywhere like I did as a teen so at least now they get to be loved and played with I also used to customize ponies as a teen, I did both re-rooting and re-painting. I will probably get back into that since I'm re-rooting Monster High dolls right now (another collection of ours).

I'm happy to be joining this pony community! I've been researching all about G4's and I've been hunting and have already gathered quite a few ponies

It sounds like you have been collecting for a long time!  I've never been brave (or patient) enough to try rerooting but I love the finished effect.  We have a whole forum here dedicated to customizing if you want to swap and compare tips.  I hope you and your daughter have fun here

Welcome! I hope you have a lovely time here. I too had a big G1 collection as a kid, but unfortunately gave all but two of them away  Now I have an even bigger collection, and no space in my flat!
