I'm an avid MLP collector that loves to collect MLP toys. When I was a child, I've always wanted them but only have two which one is a fakie and the other real. My mohter was a single parent back then so she really couldn't afford to buy them and it also didn't help that Hasbro stopped selling them in the early 90's so I never saw them again till Internet came along. I came across a MLP website called Dream Valley made by Kimberly Shriner and I was in awe of so many ponies. I wanted to buy MLP but I couldn't find any of them at thrift stores and I wasn't allowed to buy anything online back then.
I was able to start collecting MLP when G3 came out in 2003 and I got my first G3 pony which is Dream Blue from Toys R Us. During my first year in college in 2007, I was at Target in Orlando(attending college there) one day shopping for some groceries when I decided to browsed at the toy section and lo and behold, I found 25th celebration retro main six collector ponies! Three ponies in one box so I ended up buying two for the whole six. After finishing college and moving back home, I finally got myself an account on Ebay so I can order the original 80's G1 ponies. The first one I ever bought is none other than Gusty. Since then, I continue to buy more whenever they're on sale.
I went to my first MLP convention which is My Little Pony Fair that was in Orlando in summer 2012. I bought a lot of MLP toys including the bait ones, along with my Pinkie Pie bag. I even won the vinyl record of My Little Pony Movie 1986 from the raffle tickets. I had a great time and went there again in 2018 as this is my first time traveling solo. As always, I bought more MLP toys but also a Cheer Bear(original 80s verison) along with Blueberry Muffin. I bought two MLP posters which the scupltor, Kirk Hindman that I aksed him to sign and I even met the original toy creator, Bonnie Zacherle and got her to sign my chibi anthro Cottan Candy pic(she says that is her favorite pony)! It was the best weekend con I've ever been.
My MLP collection is still growing to this day but I'm sure I won't get every single one as most of them were too expensive or were hard to find, which is okay. I still enjoy finding them and they brought me inspiration and joy. If you want to see more of my pony pics, just click on the image button boxes above.
