Lately, I've started feeling terribly depressed and nostalgic. I've been collecting G4s for the last seven months, but cute as they are, the bobblehead look just doesn't do it for me anymore. I long for the type of ponies I used to have when I was little. Therefore, I've decided that I want to start collecting G1s and G2s again. The problem is finding them locally... For months I've been looking around on the local classifieds and online auctions for 80's-90's ponies, and either finding nothing or a ton of overpriced bait. Then yesterday a little voice in my head told me to try looking again... and to my surprise, I discovered that someone in my city was selling a lot of 12 vintage ponies for $50!
One 45 minute drive later, I became the proud owner of a dozen beautiful equine ladies (and one fine-looking gentleman):
Though their previous mom did give them a wash, they all still have a lot of dirt on them (including a few paint marks), so I'll need to put together a spa for them tonight. None of them are 100% perfect, but I intend to try everything I can to fully restore them to their former glory!
