As a child (I was born in 82, I know, I'm ancient!) - I was OBSESSED with G1 MLP. (Back when they weren't called G1 because they were the only thing to have ever existed, lol).

I still have all the papers that came with my ponies, showing all the series of ponies that came out each year- along with all thier names & designs.

I owned practically all of the fuzzy ponies, I had Megan & Sundance and the stable carry case and the Pony Salon. I collected ALL the sets of baby twins and even had all the wierd creature cousins- the zebra & giraffe, etc - though I traded them away as a kid because I really didn't like them for some reason.

The two ponies I played with EVERY SINGLE DAY - my favorites above all else - were the boy ponies who looked like Clydesdales or Draught horses. (Who knew - later in life I would eventually come to own a REAL Belgian Draught Horse!)

Anyway, the BOY ponies were my first love.

As the youngest child of 7- and the only girl - I was a little spoiled. More or less every time id put up with a day of being dragged around "running errands"- I would be rewarded with a trip to the toy aisle in Bradlees, or Clover, Kaybee Toys, Caldor.... And on very very special occasions- Toys R Us (which was 30 min away and twice the price of every other store!). My mom would remind me each and every time "Just one new pony."

Nearly every time, I'd end up with one pony in each hand, in tears, unable to choose.

Nearly every time, my mom would break and I'd come home net positive two ponies.

But... No store near me EVER carried the BOY PONIES. They were the "big brothers", right?

They were particularly special to be because I had SIX big brothers of my own. (The youngest was ten when I was born!).

I wanted those boy ponies BAD. I would look at the beautiful catalog and DAYDREAM about owning them, and every single time we stopped In a toy aisle - the only thing I was looking for, was the boy ponies. And alas- I never found a single one.

Eventually, I did find two little kid boy ponies - a pink bodied pony with the gorgeous fluffy feathering- he had some kind of blue in his cutie mark...

And soon after, I found a light bright green little boy pony with a froggy cutie mark.

I still have both (along with my entire childhood collection other than those wierd cousin animals I traded away long ago, and the half dozen seahorse ponies which, despite accompanying me through every bath I took for nearly a decade... somehow eventually disappeared from my home and my world....

But beyond that, I still have ALL my ponies.

I never did find the boys though.

I'm looking for one of each of the Big Brothers- in gently played with or displayable condition. They don't need to be Mint or NIB (I'd rather they aren't, I want to play with them!!). I'd love to save on shipping by finding someone with multiple together, but I know that may not happen.

Also, when I started searching... I came across two UK Exclusive Big Brother ponies and now I suddenly have ANOTHER new holy grail: Ice Crystal, Thundercloud, Mountain Boy & Fireball.. I'm betting there's more as well.

But I absolutely need the classic US big brothers;


I must have that gorgeous UK big brother pony as well.

Anyway..
Just a VERY nostalgic toy collector, looking to FINALLY make my childhood dream come true.

Above all else, my real big brother is a firefighter. So I absolutely MUST find Chief. <3

Any help in locating any of the boys... I'm excited! Thanks y'all! (This is my first post,I only found the forum today!)

Welcome :D

There are six mountain boys from the UK. They usually go for 150-350 a piece. There was a seller looking to get rid of a set - @Midnight Fireflies. They're absolutely beautiful too.

There were also baby boy ponies :)
And then of course, two sets of Big Brothers in the US.

The My Little Wiki is a great resource.

You should also check out our Intros section and let us know more about you! Welcome :D
 
Hi! I’m an ‘82 kid, too! I so wish they had made more brother ponies! How awesome is it that you have a real draught horse now. :eek: :hearteyes: In addition to the big brothers and mountain boys there are hqg1c ponies. They made several new big brother ponies and they sell blank ponies, so there are lots of customs out there. My kiddo is learning how to sculpt the feathered legs. Welcome to the mlptp!
