Ponymania in August! *lots of pictures!*
« on: September 04, 2014, 05:10:46 AM »
I just have to say I'm so happy to finally be here at MLPArena! No one would ever understand this kind of maniac pony shopping behaviour than you guys :D

First of all, I went visiting my mom and I was longing to dive in to her closet where she keeps my childhood books etc. Fortunately I found exactly what I was looking for: she still got my MLP magazines from 1989 and 1991 :) Also one little book from 1987 was found. I was a little sad that I didn't find my sticker albums, since I vividly remember having at least one :(
The magazines are all in very good condition and I thought I could collect them some more too. These are all in Finnish :)

And then the actual pony part. I went nuts. Mainly in evilBay. I also got a pony lot from my friend, who was kind enough to sell her childhood collection :) Almost every pony's hair had been cut, but I don't think it matters so much. But here's what I got from my friend:

Hair cut and pretty bad color change on the head. Otherwise very good.

Eyes a little rubbed, otherwise very good.

Tail has been cut, otherwise pretty good.

Tail is cut and the other wing is missing, otherwise really good.



These two I found from local flea markets! Pinwheel has some neon spots and their hair is little frizzy, but I don't mind :) It's pretty rare to me to find any ponies from actual live flea markets, so usually I just take what comes up.

And these are all from eBay. None of them has any major flaws, I just washed them when I got them :)

Since I didn't have any boy ponies as a kid, Chief was my first boy pony ever! :)


So... there they are :D I'm really trying to avoid this, it was sort of once in a blue moon kinda "shut up and take my money" craziness :D Phew! Hopefully it's over for now!

What lovely pics of all of your new ponies. I really like the backdrop you used.  You have some lovely G1s and G1 merch there. Thanks so much for sharing it with us - as you said, we are the ones who really 'get' your obsession!!  :frolic:

Congrats on your many new ponies! The ones you found at the flea market look great. I love the orange pony with white flowers -- sorry, can't think of her name. She's gorgeous.

Yay, ponymania! I had that "Pikkuponien ensimmäiset hampaat" as a child too, but it's long gone now... How nostalgic to see it again, there's not that many pictures or scans of Finnish MLP comics online. If you ever have a super bored moment, scan/photo it and send it to me ;) I think Quackers was one of my favourite ponies because of that comic, although she was never sold here as a toy.

Thanks everyone! I knew this was THE place to show them :D
The backdrop is actually gift paper, and I was amused when I realised that in many of all the pictures I took, underneath the pony the "newspaper add" recommends to take an insurance for one's horse :biggrin:

Actually I think I'll be having these moments of boredom sooner than would think, I'll be happy to scan these for you :)
