My Introduction
« on: June 13, 2015, 11:09:30 AM »
Hello All!
My name is Libby. I was a huge collector of MLP when I was a child in the late 80s and 90s. I've recently begun to learn about MLP restoration. I find it truly fascinating and really an art form. With all I've been reading and learning about the process I can't help but think about all the ponies I used to see in the 50 cent bins at tag sales and flea markets that I Then thought were way too far gone to bother purchasing.... I could seriously kick myself now! Truth be told I've always been prone to rescuing...be it my 3 rescue dogs or beanie babies no one else wanted because they were missing one eye. It's the Land of Misfit Toys here at my house. I enjoy going to thrift stores and finding those truly classic toys or pieces of memorabilia that just need a good cleaning and love in order to have a new lease on life. It brings not only brings me back to my childhood but makes me feel as though I'm doing my part to restore and preserve an era of truly wonderful toys and memories. I look forward to continuing on my new journey as a MLP preservationist and can't wait to learn more tricks of the trade from all of you here at MLP Arena. Cheers!

Hello, Libby! Welcome to the Arena!

I feel you there, I have a soft spot for damaged and abandoned toys. If I knew how to sew and fix things aside from ponies I'd open my own toy hospital  :lol: You'll find some great tips and tricks around here, have fun with your restorations and enjoy the forums!

Welcome, Libby! I'm learning about fixing up ponies, too, maybe you'll have some tricks of your own to share eventually!  :biggrin:

Welcome to the Arena

It's so glad that you haven't abandoned these poor toys to a box in the attic or the tip. Kind of like a really kind version of adult toy story :)  Look forward to seeing you around :)
