Arena Interview - Me! BlackCurtains
« on: November 18, 2022, 08:37:48 AM »
I decided to give myself the interview this week!



Personal Interview-

Where did you get your user name? It's the name of a song from one of my favorite bands.

How old are you? I was born a year before MLP :P

What are your hobbies? Arts & crafts, gaming, watching movies, cooking

Do you have any pets? Yes, an 8 year old tuxedo cat who I got from the shelter.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? The Minnesota-Canada border

Do you collect anything other than ponies? Kenner LPS, McFarlane figures, bones, fossils, gemstones

Ponies-

How long have you been collecting ponies? Since 2010! I did have some (five) as a kid.

Why did you start collecting ponies? I found out about pony customs and joined The Arena. Then I found out about all the ponies that were made I had no idea about. I was in awe and it didn't take long for me to buy my first non-bait pony.

Who is your favorite pony and why? Raincurl! She was the only adult pony I had as a child for a long time, so she was the main character in my stories and adventures.

Who is your least favorite pony and why? Pretty Beat. She ugly.

Who is your favorite pony from another country? I love Argies especially. I'd have to say, Argie orange confetti with blue hair, in the Collector's pose.

Who is your favorite fakie? Princess Rinse 'n Spit! She comes in orange and I want her so badly :lol:

Who was your first pony? My very first pony was Baby Firefly. She was a gift from my grandmother.

What pony did you get recently? I think it was the G5 Unicorn Party Pack. It's been a while.

What is your favorite generation? G1 but I also love G3.

What is your favorite part about collecting? Seeing them all together. My ponies are packed away at the moment and I miss my wall of happiness.

How big is your collection? If I had to guess, maybe 250 ponies and 100 custom ponies.

What do your friends and family think about your collection? They don't really care. My mom will buy my the occasional pony related thing.

Do you still play with your ponies? No :P

What rare or popular pony makes you ask why!? Rapunzel. I don't see where the high price comes from.

If you had to have a pony symbol tattooed on your butt, which would you pick and why? I'd borrow from the Rainbow Curls and get stars and rainbows!

If you could have any pony remade in a different generation, who would you choose and why? I'd love to see G3s as G1 boys! How about Autumn Crisp as a Big Brother? 

What has been the worst part about collecting? I don't have enough money!

What is your ultimate collecting goal? To have all the orange ponies.

What is your biggest collecting accomplishment? I guess, being able to have gotten so many Argies before the prices went off the rails.

What is your biggest collecting regret? That I didn't get into it sooner!

Who is your grail pony and why? Argie CP Orange confetti with blue hair OR Greek Sunlight
Do you have it? No :(

Do you prefer loose or MIP ponies? Loose!

Quick! Close your eyes and grab a pony! Who did you get? G3 Butterscotch!

Are you a customizer? Yes

What do you think of custom ponies? I love them!

What are acceptable and unacceptable pony flaws, in your opinion? I can fix almost anything, so I guess there aren't any? If I had to pick something I think it'd be head-body mismatch.

Would you rather have a bait pony or a fakie? Fakie!

Do you watch pony shows/movies? Not really.
Which ones? I watched the first two seasons of FiM.

Do you read pony comics? Sometimes I read scans.
Which ones? G1

What is the worst thing you've ever done to a pony? Oh. That would be my test subject Sunny Daze. She was used to do various things to as I worked on customs. I would paint her, sculpt on her, cut her legs off, put Velcro on her... all kinds of things I was experimenting with. Eventually she got very sticky and there was no more room for anything else. I wish I'd taken a picture of her.

Fill in the blank!

"I wish Hasbro would make a pony gen that looks horsey"

"When I was new to ponies I didn't know how many there were"

"I think the most underappreciated pony is Wish-a-Whirl because her symbol is weird"

"I think more ponies should have feathering"

"I don't like 3D symbols because they're hard to cut off"

"I love Rosedust because she's beautiful"

Nice interview!

Another bone collector, I see!

An issue that I have with G3.5, G4 and G5 to a certain degree is that they don't look especially horsey compared to generations before them. Therefore, I, too, hope that Hasbro makes a generation that looks more horsey. (Maybe even more than the average pony from all generations before it, though maybe not quite so much as Dream Beauties).

Another interesting read :D
I agree that a more horsey gen would be amazing, and YES to more feathering <3

Yes, Megadeth! They were my favorite band as a teenager. I still like and listen to the old stuff. The new album is pretty good too.

Haha, she makes a good villain! I still think she's ugly though :P

I want to see your interview outtakes, where you argued with yourself about the answers you gave xDD

I also feel sorry for poor Sunny Daze O.o

I second that Pretty Beat isn't ugly, but I think the purple hair version is nicer, and she was more widely available here and where Heart of Midnight is ;) The blue haired one is a bit more jarring.
