    “MLP Collector” bracelet with G3

    These were given out at an MLP Fair many years ago (don’t remember which one). Elf

    Anyone else take more care packing ponies for a move than your wedding china?

    My ponies moved into my house before we did. I had pneumonia when we moved and couldn’t pack them properly, so we roped in a couple of friends (another collector and her husband), moved my collection loose in boxes, and lined all the ponies up on built in shelving in the pony room closet a week...

    Oh ow!

    Lol and ouch! I had Build A Bear Pinkie Pie land on my head from the top of a bookshelf once. Only thing was, she was wearing BAB roller skates, which are hard heavy plastic. I had quite a bump from that and my friend heard the impact from another room. Elf

    G3 G3 Birthstone vs Birth Flower Ponies

    Well, in Canada we only got the birthstone ponies, the birth flowers weren’t in stores. So right there, fewer markets for the birth flowers to be bought at. I suspect some US stores also either didn’t carry or bought fewer birth flowers since the birthstones maybe hung around longer on shelves...

    CONVENTION Trading at Pony Fair

    Don’t be afraid to ask vendors if they’re willing to trade too. Some will, some won’t, and some will want to see what you’re offering first before they decide. The worst that can happen is someone says no. Elf

    G1 MLP at GameStop

    I have this doormat at the entrance to my pony room. It’s quite good quality and it entertains me. Elf

    How do you "Display"?

    By generation, first. The G1s and G3s are then arranged loosely by theme (food, tropical, flutters, etc.) The G2s and G4s are arranged in among their playsets in diorama style. This is because I have fewer of them, so they get less shelf space and this is the most practical use of space. Elf

    How do you collect?

    I buy only those ponies that I want (I don’t feel the need to complete sets just for the sake of it). Saying that, there’s not many I don’t want. I also only get what I have room to display. I want to be able to see and enjoy my collection at all times, so that’s also an important factor for...

    How often do you wash your ponies?

    Very much what Jewel said. My ponies get a standard gentle clean using as few chemicals as possible (usually dish soap and conditioner and that’s it) when they first arrive, are thoroughly dried, and they go on the shelf. My pony room is kept closed at all times (we have two cats who are...

    What kind of collector are you?

    I am not a completist, I only have ponies I like in my collection. Saying that, I still have a lot of complete sets in my collection. My main focus is brushables, but I do have some selective plush, blind bags, merch, etc. I collect G1-4, not including the .5 generations. I’m not a fan of any...

    Benzoyl peroxide

    There’s also a product called Removezit, which is a product for cleaning dolls not a zit cream, but I think the name confuses people, that doll collectors use to remove spots. However, over time it also bleaches out the colour in the vinyl, which is why it also shouldn’t be used on ponies. It’s...

    G2 Give Me Your Knowledge!

    Just what Yourpinkoverlord said. The first couple of years of G2 ponies can be gotten cheaply, as they were widely available in both North America and Europe. Ponies released after that can get quite pricy, especially those that are sought after (unicorns!), however there can be deals to be...

    G1 G1 cleaning & restoration

    I would also recommend taking your time and really considering what the pony needs before doing anything as drastic as rehairing or paint touch ups. Start with the most basic and gentlest cleaning techniques and move up from there. Often a pony that seems in really bad shape will look...

    G3 G3 Restoration

    As for the tail washer, getting the heads off G3s is the worst. Hasbro went crazy on the glue on these girls. Your best bet is to run hot water over the neck seam and see if you can’t get it to loosen up a bit. If you can start to get it open, you can try to pry it further with a blunt knife and...

    G5 New info and screen shot of MLP Movie +Toys

    The animation is sort of cute, but more generic Disney-esque than something new. I’m not overly keen on the sound of the plot (which also doesn’t sound very original to me). The toys...no. They look like human-shaped horses. Horse-shaped horse toys, hasbro. That’s all I want out of MLP. Will be...

    G1 Funko Pop G1 Ponies are coming!

    I like them. I like that they’re horse shaped, and that they were modeled after the original pose. I’ll definitely need a Snuzzle. Elf

    How important is merch to your collection?

    I love merch, but space is always an issue. The main focus of my collection is brushable ponies, so they get the lions share of space. I focus my merch collecting mainly on party supplies and stationary, including stickers (I’m hip deep in stickers), things that don’t take up a lot of space. Elf
