What is your age you Pony collector?

[MikeysGrrrl]

I didn't mean to offend anyone by stating that I thought more members would be in 31-40 bracket lol, I'm not at all surprised that the majority are in the 22-40 category

I grew up with G1's although I don't remember watching the cartoon, I had lot's of ponies and playsets I don't ever recall seeing G2's at all, I loved the G3 line and well now there's G4's

I'm 18! I grew up with the Gen 2 video game and I had the canopy bed playset

I'm retired and that puts me in the last category!     I got into MLP through my daughter who also is an avid collector.  I love going to local pony meets and to the Fair when we can.  G2 is my favorite generation (for now), although I enjoy making G1 plushies!

I did not get to see the cartoons that were on tv. Pretty sure we did not have the canal for it. We were poor and did not have a lot of extra things.  I did have the Pony movie on VHS. My mom bought it at a rummage sale. There was a lot of pony stuff that I did not know about back then!

I am A 34yr old MLP Collector I collect Monster High Dolls to and other dolls

I'm 34 but will be turning 35 May 1st I've been married for almost 5 years and am currently a housewife. I have an adorable little cat named Chani who is 2 years old.

Little more background about me: I have a M. Sc. degree in biochemistry (2007) and a Lab Tech degree (2011) but job hunting has proved extremely difficult since I neither have 2+ years experience or family/friends who can recommend me for jobs in my field so no company seems willing to give me a chance despite great grades and fantastic lab results

I'm currently trying to conceive and will be looking into working at an animal shelter after I've been on "maternity leave"

I'm 21 but closer to 22, just a few more months. I was 19 when I started collecting, I started with G4 and hadn't seen a My Little Pony older than G3, so I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered G1 and fell in love with them. I collect all generations now, but G2 and G3.5 are a bit underrepresented.

I've graduated University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and have been working as a Dog Groomer for the last 3 years. It was the first job I applied for at the first salon I walked into, right place at the right time.

32...until tomorrow

Oh and I also thought more people would be in that 31-40 bracket Its kind of cool to see a bit of a shift though from what these polls would have suggested in the past.

Keep it coming everyone I love reading the little bit about you all to

I just realized I didn't put anything about myself. So here goes:

I'll turn 28 in June. I am married to a United States Marine so that's what brought me out to the DC area (originally from a small town in Minnesota). I graduated with a degree in accountancy and attained my CPA license in 2011. I work for the Federal Government. I have 1 dog, 5 cats, and 7 rats. So my house is a little hectic with all the animals roaming about. I actively collect MLPs, Care Bears (over 4000!), and a few other things. I'm running out of room in my house so I'm trying to just stick with mainly ponies and care bears!

I'm 37, married for 14 years and we have 2 kids ages 11 and 7. I got a flat foot Butterscotch for Christmas right before my 5th birthday and I still have her, Confetti, Sundance and Posey from my original collection of 13. I sold the rest of my collection plus the two story carrying case at a garage sale when I was 11 or so but I've made up for that since I started recollecting after having my first daughter. My collection is mainly G1 and G3 and I probably have 500 total? I also have a few other complete collections~Sea wees Tropigals and Icygals sets with sponges and accessories, Strawberry Shortcake and Kenner shimmers.

I'm honestly surprised that there aren't more members in the "31-40" category considering that's the category that would describe those of us who grew up with the original generation.

Those of us in our late 20s also grew up with G1.... Sure, we would have been a lot younger, but we were there, and I would imagine may continued to get and play with the toys even after production ended.

Personally, I suspect the majority of G1 collectors fall between 25 and 40, which would be split between those two age categories in the poll.

I agree Elisto. I grew up with G1 MLPs. Granted they were Years 9 and 10, but I did pick up a few Year 6 ponies here and there as I got older. I also watched MLP: Escape from Catrina and MLP Tales as a kid, too. Oh and I think I had the MLP thermos! So I also suspect an age of mid to late twenties through early 40s for most collectors!

Yeah, I'm 26, and I grew up in the last years of MLP and remember buying some straight from store shelves. Li'l Honeypie, the mermaid Baby Sea Princess, and sparkle Baby Gusty. A lot of my ponies came secondhand. They were rather easier to find back then, kind of like Barbies are.

I started truly collecting (buying ponies regularly, joining online communities) when I was pretty young -- like, 11 or 12 -- and back then (around 2000 or so) most of the collectors were in the age bracket that grew up with the earlier years of G1 MLP and I was kind of unusual. It's interesting to see how that's changed a little now with new generations of ponies adding younger fans.

This is cool to see what you all have to say about yourselves
