How do you ''display'' your ponies? ♥

[Niwalime]

Hello everyone!

My little collection of G3 ponies is increasing steadily and I am looking into ways of displaying them nicely.
I will probably get some console shelves or something like Ikeas Billy shelves, To put on the wall in my room soon, because my regular bookshelf is kind of... running low on space
But my question is - how do YOU sort your ponies for displaying?
Do you go by year of release, poses, colors? What's your method?

 I've had different approaches over the years depending on space. My preference would be to display every pony I own (g1) by year, lined up single file on narrow wall shelves... but at the moment I have sets and special ponies highlighted in cabinets:

I sort mine out by size to maximize my display space.  I have standard G4 brushables, Fashion Styles, Equestria Girls, Blind Bags, and G3s all in separate areas of my display shelves.

I have limited display space so there's no way my whole collection can ever be displayed at once. I rotate them out regularly. I curently have 2 shelves for ponies, a larger top shelf for Dream Castle and select inhabitants (currently the sparkle and glow n shows--they look cool under my black lights), and a smaller shelf for my fragile/rare ponies.

On my bookshelf for now, shoulder to shoulder, I am starting to get floating shelves to put them up and I will definitely have a couple of Shoe Stable Carrying Cases to keep my vulnerable ones out of the sunlight.

I display the G3s, babies and my lone Flutter together because they are slimmer and shorter and I can fit more of them. It's also beneficial to place them together by pose. My sea ponies are in separate, decorated jars

I have bookshelves with glass doors for my ponies, 3 rows of ponies on each shelf (risers for the back row so all can be seen). I then arrange them by size and pose so I can fit the most ponies in the least amount of space.

Here's part of one of my bookshelves as an example:

I have a pony room with Ikea Billy shelves.  The closet has a few built in shelves I supplemented with bookcases, and a pegboard for MOCs.

Right now I have a "pony rainbow" going on, but I'll probably re-arrange them by year once I have them styled.  It hard to tell what I actually have when they're displayed by color.

My g4 are displayed by size (blind bags on a line, brushable on another, fashion styles on another...) but i don't organize them by year, only by character.For my starting g1 and g3 collection i think i'll display them by year.

[Kiwi]

Mine are organized by generation...and after that it's pretty much random, aside from size (adults, babies, minis, fashion style, etc).

[STLGusty]

Mine are organized by generation - then I have them organized by year/series.  I keep all of the mail orders together, as well   I still need to redo my displays though...!

Wow, so many ideas
I love how everyone has their own way. This really got me some insipiration!

What a cool idea, the jars of Sea ponies!

I wish I could get something with class doors or a display cabinet. That's a really nice display

I thought alot about displaying them by color too but I agree it seems abit confusing...

Mine are displayed (and more waiting to be displayed) in a variety of ways.  The generations are separated. 

G1's  are sort-of displayed by year.  However, I have placed matching adults and babies together, the same with families .  Also, all males, and babies are together.  If I have a non-US version, it is next to the pony.

G3's are grouped by species.  Later, when the line changed to Core 7, I displayed all versions of each pony together.

G4's are displayed as they were released, until I ran out of room.  The last couple of years worth of releases are waiting until I find more space (although where I'm going to find it, I still haven't figured out).
**oops, no photos on-line**

As for G2's, I have a few on display, but most are in boxes.

Looks like I'm behind in taking collection pictures.  Add it to the list of things to do...

Halicabi - I like that you display them as families! That's a really cute idea It looks really nice with the color coordination too
