skig's Pony-a-Day Challenge

Well, I don't know what happened last night that my post didn't post. It was still here, just hanging out. So yesterday's pony is Frisco, one of the 2006 MLP Fair exclusives.

She looks so pretty! Her hair and tail remind me of Ariel. I don’t think I’ve seen this pony before

They were made from G3 Love Wishes. The MLP Fair staff asked for an event exclusive pony, like Bay Breeze the year before, and this is what Hasbro gave them. 400 Love Wishes that they couldn't move through the Pony Points program. So staff turned lemons into lemonade and created 150 Friscos and 100 Trolleys. I don't have the latter; didn't win in the purchase raffle. Not sure what happened to the remaining ones, other than the 24 that were customized for a disaster relief auction that never happened. (Another story...)

Dazzle Surprise is today's pony. She was the first of three mail order Pony Points exclusives in the G3 line.

When I was little, I had no idea what the pony points on my boxes meant and maybe I assumed they were for something online. I wasn’t aware of mail order stuff being a thing. Sometimes I don’t think I noticed them that much or they got damaged from me really wanting to get to my pony to play. If I knew what they were maybe I could’ve gotten great ponies like this

Your photos are so pretty and something to look forward to seeing each day. You’re doing a great job with your challenge! :smile:

Oh no :shock: that’s too bad that you didn’t know what they were for. I knew but by the time I collected enough they had ended the point program

Eeyup! The pony of the day is Big Macintosh.
If you're wondering why my posts have been very G1- and G3-heavy, it's really just as simple as those gens being what are the most accessible for me. I like all of the gens and hope to be able to show you all more of my collection in the coming months.

A very handsome pony :smile:

also wow that’s a lotta points! I eventually got rid of mine when they stopped. I think they should still honor them, like obviously they wouldn’t be able to send the things you could originally get, but they could send something for them :) it would be cool

So many points! :shock:
If I was starting my collection now and the G3’s were still on the shelf as they were when I was little, I would’ve definitely kept the backcards and possibly the points

I very much enjoy your daily photos, thanks a lot! Where do you find all these matching backgrounds, are these all gift wrapping papers?

Thank you! I use scrapbook paper and stock images that I print.

It's February 1st, and today's pony is G3 Birthflower February Violet.

Bubblefish is lovely, and good condition for being your childhood pony :)

*Most* of my childhood collection is in great shape. There are a few that I was less than careful with (I cut Tex's hair and chewed on my Mommy Charm), but given that I was seven years old when G1 ended, it's pretty amazing that most were unscathed.

Excellent idea with the stock images! February Violet is one of my favourite G3s, she's beautiful!

Mine too. Purple is my favorite color. <3

Fantastical February is today's pony.
