Hello!
I'm so glad to finally join LOL I've been lurking for years...
My fave toys when I was a kid were my MLPs and Barbies.
First pony: Parasol
Barbie: Pink and Pretty
I still have many of my childhood toys and have actively collected since I was a teen.
I also started collecting LPS when I was a teen while I was working retail in a toy department. I actually spent almost all of my paychecks on toys... Lots of early 90s toys.... (And I have most of those still too LOL)
Back then I wanted to grow up and own a specialty toy store with a focus on vintage toys
Instead I grew up to sell vintage clothes (close, right?) and just hoard/collect vintage toys hahaha!!!
I like MH and have bought some for myself when I started buying them for my girls.
My 10 year old is SOOOOOO into MLP right now- makes my heart smile. Inherited my collecting gene, I suppose.
