Hi! It's Flushian typing, a nostalgic lady collecting toys from the 80s and 90s (and lots of other things, like victorian, art nouveau etc)
A little story:
When a child, my first pony was Pretty Vision, a Brush'n Grow G1 earth pony.
She lived so much adventures with me; I remember she almost fall on my great grand'ma's water well... I took her nearly everywhere and even bath with her on the Channel Sea (I'm from France), I nearly lost her in the sea (drowned in a wave)...
But I didn't had any other G1 Ponies, neither play-sets. I didn't had a joyful childhood so I sicked to the rare toys I got.
Aside her, I got 3 G2 ponies, because my younger cousins had them and it was "odd" playing with a big G1 while the others had sparkle-eyed little ones ^^
Then I grew up, and I think I stopped playing at about 11 or 12 (some consider this quite old, other don't. I don't mind ^^)
Fortunately (or not) I have a hard time throwing things away, and because of an abandonment disorder, I kept absolutely everything from my childhood or my adolescence for a long time (except what was thrown away without asking my opinion). Then, time helped heal some wounds and I began selling or donating some objects/toys I really didn't needed anymore.
But I'm very sensitive and sentimental about some others. And Pretty Vision is still here, in my room (with my bf yeah aha).
So how did I came up to register on MLPTP or MLPARENA's forums? Well, because in the beginning of May 2021, I wanted to give my pony a second life. She had matted hair etc (she clearly isn't perfect, but she's mine and I won't trade her for anything). I wanted to pass on my gratitude to her. So I watched some video on YT to learn how to restore the hair etc... And then began my obsession. I was SO happy to see Pretty Vision in a nearly Mint shape (see pictures linked for a before-after view)... I ended up like "You are an adult now, if you want to, you can buy other ponies, restore them etc".
I don't have an understanding family on this side of thing. But I embraced my chid-side long ago, probably because I didn't had the chances to really be one at the right age. So I'm beginning buying some sets I never had, etc etc
I'm also a HUGE fan of Lady Lovely Locks (I had some on my father's side, but I don't know what they became), so I'm also collecting dolls, pixie tails and sets of this.
On the same hand I began collecting Pokemon things waaay before, so I have a lot of Pokemon things.
Even lots of MTG card (Magic the Gathering).
So that's it... I'm here because I want to gather G1 ponies (and no, nothing to do with me being bored with the covid: I'm a nerd I love being at home on my pc or reading aha. Outside I'm more of a dreamer than a party budy!)
I finally understood I could have what I dreamt of when a child
I'm happy to join the MLPTP ^^ (I'm also on the MLPARENA).
I hope to make some online friends in here
(Even if I also have a life and a job as I'm 30-ish and I can't always be online in here!)
