Found some of my childhood ponies!
« on: August 08, 2014, 03:37:14 AM »
So when I was a child my Mum some how convinced me to sell most of my ponies  :shocked: I don't think I actually wanted too but "I was growing up now ect" and I had to much stuff. I regret this so much! I managed to convince her to let me keep a few of my favourite ponies and ones that were hidden in other toyboxes survived too. Over time they got sent to the loft and I forgot I had them.

I went digging the other morning and I actually found them! Some of them are bit worst for wear and the vast majority of my childhood collection is missing but some ponies is always better than none.  ^.^

I won't share all of them because otherwise I'll be here forever typing this. Here's a direct link to my flickr album, although its not exactly ground breaking stuff. https://www.flickr.com/photos/muffinpuffart/sets/72157645864412390

I'll start with some of the worst condition and end with my favourites.

Wind Whistler is very grubby and may have Pony Cancer.

G1 Chief Big Brother Pony by InkyMomo, on Flickr

Chief is a bit grubby and quite yellow now, but his hair is still fairly fancy. I only found out his name recently as we just used to call him "Pipes and Ladders"

Activity Club Baby Pony by InkyMomo, on Flickr

I always knew this little guy was special when I was younger but couldn't remember why. I washed her hair and while its still a bit fluffy its much cleaner.

Lavender Lace Perfume Puff Pony by InkyMomo, on Flickr

I need of a clean, but I loved her to bits! I think I just used to call her Powder Puff. She doesn't smell any more though.

Secret Beauty Secret Surprise Pony by InkyMomo, on Flickr

I've long lost her key, but she is still in great condition. I always loved how much bigger she looked than the rest of the ponies.

Baby Sapphire Jewellery Pony G1 by InkyMomo, on Flickr

I remember being completely smitten with this one when I was a child, I've just found out that she may actually be worth something?  :shocked: Not that I'd ever part with her, its just makes me love her more. Anyone hazard a guess at her worth?

Flower Bouquet Merry Go Round Pony by InkyMomo, on Flickr

And finally my favourite Merry Go Round Pony. Who I sort of want to restore as her hair is all froofy. I have an over whelming urge to collect the rest of the Merry Go Round Ponies too.

Thanks for letting me share my excitement. When I actually found them hidden in an old dusty bag I audibly squeed.  :lol:

Awesome, congrats!

Baby Sapphire and Ring $90-120? I would hazard a guess, it's just conservative, someone may have a better idea though ^.^

Congratulations on finding your childhood ponies! Mine are long gone but I had Wind Whistler too :) SS version, but still!

Wow! How great is it that Baby Sapphire is still there with her ring? And Chief with his hat?

They look amazing and like you took good care of your toys when you were little.

It's great you still have at least some of your childhood ponies.  Baby Sapphire with her ring is a rare beauty!!!  I know with childhood ponies that the value come more from the memories they hold though :lovey:

I look forward to seeing you around the forums :frolic:

Definitely! Even if she was worth peanuts I'd still love her. I have so many fond memories of her and her personality from when I was playing.

Thanks to everyone for thier kind words. I'm off to tidy up and clean the not so lucky ones now. The need some TLC.
