G1 wish list.

This took forever wow.  And I still have to go back and do a few more, specifically a few German ponies, but this is 99% done so I'm going to go ahead and publish XD

WIP - new collection setup

My poor G3s have been packed up since the middle of May and we didn't get our furniture until three days ago, so I finally got them out of the dreaded plastic tote.  I've been concerned about mold and pony!cancer lately so I really wanted them out and in the open air.

Today I finally cleaned up the boxes and whatnot in the study enough to make room to unpack them!

G2 Sky Skimmer


Some photos of G2 Sky Skimmer that I took probably in 2005 or 2006.  I still love these!  One of these days, she deserves a more recent photoshoot with the fancy camera I have now.

Appreciation post - Surprise


Today I'm going to spam you with photos of my Surprise (and Baby Surprise).  This pony's gained a lot of infamy in recent years due to the story of her being one of Pinkie Pie's original inspirations.

I BINed the two of them together, along with most of Baby Surprise's accessories, for $25 back in '05 or '06, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.  Baby Surprise is flawless, like she was just taken off her card.  And mommy Surprise doesn't have her factory curl for some reason, but other than that, she's pure mint.  Most of my collection is not in this great shape (though I do prefer my ponies to be near-mint or at least look nm on display!) and sometimes I wonder if I should put them in a clear plastic case to protect them. (I always wonder if such things are a bit excessive; it's not like Surprise is rare at all.)
