New home for my G1s.

 

Apologies for the sad phone picture, but I finally have most of my G1s in their new home!  

There's quite a few missing.  Namely my Year Ones (Cotton Candy, Minty, and the other collector ponies) as well as most of my Year Twos (Applejack, Firefly, Majesty, etc).  When I grabbed my G1s from my parents' place last August, I noticed that the first half of the top row was developing some mold (this kind).  I think it started from FF Butterscotch but it went down to Majesty! (they were lined up more-or-less in order of release)  So they're still in baggies, probably a dozen ponies.  I need to research how to take care of it; I've used bleachwater in the past but half of them have glitter symbols. T___T

I'm also missing about a half-dozen or so that were on display at our old place (these guys were all at my parents') and are still in a box somewhere... I forget where I packed them. ;__;  When I do get them unpacked I'll probably have to find a new spot for the Sunny Daze shrine (and put the two other G3s I have here with it)



I have a fair bit more Sunny Daze merch, but in August I finally got the fifth release of her, so I have each of her brushable releases!  It's taken me enough years.

It's nice to have almost all of them all out, finally, though.  Now I can hopefully get around to grooming them; they looked good before but they've been in storage for six months or so and their hair's all flat and sad LOFTY'S FACTORY CURLS  /mourns softly  Seriously though, I think I'll feel better when I get everyone together.  I can really feel the incompleteness. :P

Sunny Daze - beautiful cosplay!



Today I can't get over this "everyday"-style cosplay of Sunny Daze by the german cosplayer Canary.  I absolutely adore renditions of ponies (or any other non-human characters) that are simple and everyday, yet still honor the character.  It's really cool to see some love for the G3 line, which seems to have been forgotten between the fervor for FiM/G4 and the insistent nostalgia for G1.

And of course, Sunny's my favorite G3.

I wish the wig had more vibrant colors, but I know from experience that it's hard to get a good, strong color when you're dying wigs!  My favorite little detail is her nail polish colors.

My favorite photos under the cut.
