Hi Pony Fans,
I'm a (mainly) G1 collector, originally from London, now based in South Australia (since 2009). I'm in my mid twenties, and have recently started collecting again, as my partner and I have moved in together and thankfully he's allowed me to take over the spare room!
My favourite part about collecting is fixing them up - I now spend many an evening slaving over a hot bowl of water, Sard wonder soap in one hand, comb in the other. I've decided to have a foray into rehairing - I got a large collection from Gumtree a few weeks ago (sorry to all the other Aussie collectors who wanted them!) and a lot of them have had haircuts. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's techniques on here!
Very recently started watching season 1 of FiM - I think it's HILARIOUS.
My favourite pony since childhood is Skydancer. Her plastic is degrading, so she's got plenty of brown spots, but I don't care. She's still special.
I chose the name Starfall after reading Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas. I just thought it sounded beautiful:
"and you alone can hear the invisible starfall, the darkest-before dawn minutely dew-grazed stir of the black, dab-filled sea...."
Anyway, that's a bit about me. Hello!
