Oh boy, introduction time! Here's my My Little Pony background:
I've been a fan since I was a small child in the G1 era and although my ponies had gone into storage, I never lost my love for them. I was thrilled when My Little Pony started to make a major come back and I love the G4 ponies!
I share my love of MLP with my many nieces and have recently rediscovered and restored (or cleaned up) all of my originals (there are a few missing that I am in search of - they have to be somewhere). My nieces love comparing the ponies and one even purchased some on ebay after falling in love with my ponies!
My favorite G1 ponies are: Gusty, Twilight, Majesty, Milky Way, and Princess Sparkle. My favorite G4 pony is Twilight Sparkle (I've been told I'm just like her - I am a librarian and can be ultra-focused and high-strung but I hope I'm also fun and a good friend). I also love Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Princess Luna.
I was never a fan of the G2 style pony, but I do own a few of the G3 (not G3.5) ponies. I look forward to sharing the love of ponies with everyone!
