Show Us Your Pony Shelves!

Hello all!

I spend a lot of time thinking about my bookcases and how to display my ponies. This is the current state of some shelves on my main bookshelf (don't mind the non-pony items that have snuck their way in, LOL):

Its not perfect, and there are many gaps with room to grow! I use Celsius boxes a lot in my display, because I love how sturdy they are and end up with a new one about every 12 days.. LOL!

I am proud of how certain areas look, but I have another bookcase I am working on right now, and an awkward/'blank' spot in this bookcase that I highlighted. It's like the world's hardest puzzle, trying to display a collection!!!

As such, if you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love to see how my fellow pony collectors display their collection! As a source of inspiration, and because it's something I spend a *lot* of time thinking about, and I thought that maybe others do, too. Feel free to share any thought processes behind your display if you'd like!

Thank you! :snuzzle: :redheart:
here it is! i’m hopefully going to get some g1s and assorted g4s soon, and i also added photos of some of the stickers i’ve had since i was little :)

In my entire time here I don’t think I’ve ever posted a display photo yet everyone else seems to have :shock:

Welp, after my G1 shelves came down in the night a couple of weeks ago, I swapped it over with my Ty’s and put it back up again with extra support. These are all my G1’s. No HQG1C here but BF Surprise and Upside-Down AJ in the shadows there

The shelves are secondhand acrylic(?) display boxes from a carpet store

I’ve used Command strips to get that up there but this time I doubled up on them to keep them secure

Oooh you have Snowflake!
 
Oooh you have Snowflake!
I do indeed! She was a great find. I love ponies with freckles and her fully white mane and tail is so nice

My small G1 collection to me looks like “tell me you’re a UK collector without telling me you’re a UK collector” :lolpony:
 
It's less a shelf and more an explosion of ponies all over my room at this point, but I'd still love to show them off! I bought extra shelves that I wanted to put above my desk anyway, so some of the ladies in loose places will probably move there in the future.

When I bought this shelf, I thought that would be enough for all my stuff and figures. But now I'm thinking of buying a new shelf, lol!

This is my display area. This isn't everyone, and I need to rearrange after some recent adoptions. Need to get risers for my babies, too :)
So many adorable babies!:ponylove:

I never wanted my ponies to cross over onto my other shelves but here I am, HQG1C and G3’s and big G4’s invade my manga space. I love your setup!

I’m curious, is that Graphig Miku papercraft or one of the prize figures? I have the Nyanko one and the Christmas one!

Also welcome :flutter2:
 
That's paper style Miku, hehe!
"graphig ABS"
I love those figures. I got my two back when I was a teen one Christmas. Whilst I asked for the Nyanko and I think the Mikunishan one, I instead got Nyanko and Christmas. Christmas was so fitting because it was Christmas I got them both on. I never had the paper versions though, only the Lucky Kuji prizes

I am so out of the loop on all my VOCALOID stuff since college (almost 10 years ago now) so it took quite a while to find the name of Mikunishan to mention her
 
@minticat Amazing!! I love the organization by color :hearteyes: And the last pic!! I love seeing various collections together.. Plus, Applejack, a Takara pony, Posty and BlueBonnet.. So awesome!! I'm sure it took a while but the result is great!! :happyhearts:

thank you <3 that applejack is autographed by Liz Knight, who actually designed applejack.
I love this last picture so much - I spy Isabelle too :twohearts: Best cozy game ever!
thank you! i need to play animal crossing more...
 
Dropping this here for @Leave a Whisper to laugh at. I need to completely redo everything.

A shelf (cube) of chaos.. if you don't see one of the set, it's under the others.
