Vintage MLP on Toy Hunters!
« on: March 06, 2014, 01:45:32 PM »
So I'm a big fan of the show Toy Hunter, and on this week's new episode, I saw something that got me all excited.... They found and bought an in-box Loving Family Sweet Celebrations!!!! The box was mint, the ponies were unfaded, the bubble wasn't even dented! Their hair was still super pink! While I'm not a G1 collector, I thought that was pretty awesome.

That's neat. What is the premise of the show? He finds rare collectible toys for celebrities?  I wouldn't want to find them for rich people but I would love the title "toy hunter extraordinaire"!

And they bought it for $50!

He doesn't always find toys for celebrities-- he usually buys toys to sell at different toy shows/cons. He'll go on hunts for celebrities/other people as well.

I absolutely love that show, even though I think the UK only gets older repeats on Freeview. Awesome to hear he bought a pony! :D

@teacher- Not always. He has some celebrity clients, yes, but he himself is a toy collector, and has booths at the Comic Cons and such. He loves classic toys.

Same here! I've always wanted to see him find some MLPs but all he ever seems to find are boyish toys like Star Wars, Star Trek, Ninja Turtles and stuff XD

Hmm...I met him at New York ComicCon in October this past year and asked him about My Little Pony when he hunts. He told me he was not familiar with that market and to send him an email. Well never heard back from him.

Things that make you go hmm...

I've watched the show a few times and in the episodes I've watched he tells the people he is buying from he intends to resell. So the people he buys from know he has to make a profit. I don't see why that is a problem considering he seems very open about it to the people he is buying from. He is running a business and I'm pretty sure the people who invite him into their homes to look at their collection are aware of this beforehand.

Probably doesn't own a stolen piece of the Taj Mahal.
