Hi everyone!

I'm a collector from Ontario, Canada. I had a ton of ponies as a kid in the 80s, but I have only recently started collecting them again. Wish I still had all my childhood ones. I'm in my 30s but I'm also in college, and my ultimate goal is to become a toymaker someday!

I mostly hunt for G1/G2 stuff, but I love every generation. I have also just started collecting fakies, which seem to be a lot more common at my local thrift store than canon ponies. I have been thinking about starting a little blog or something to keep track of all my pony finds.

Fakies can be a ton of fun! I have in my collection some of the creepiest fakies I have seen, but some of the fakies are really cute!

If you end up making a blog for ponies, please share the link so we can see your ponies, too

Welcome and I hope you enjoy the Arena!

Welcome to the Arena! Wow that would be a dream job. A lot of collectors on the forums will have had to start again to recreate childhood collections...thats part of the fun! Have a great time on the boards and I hope you quickly start tracking down who you are looking for.

Heya, Fae! Welcome to the Arena!

A toymaker is an amazing dream job! I've seen some pretty cute collector blogs on sites like tumblr, if you think it's a good way to keep track of your collection then I say go for it. I hope you get all your childhood ponies back, enjoy the forums!

Welcome to the Arena

That would be an awesome job!  And the thrill of the hunt finding ponies/fakies never gets old.  Good luck and enjoy the forum
