Hi everyone,

Thought I'd drop by and say hello. I come from sunny Cyprus, an island nation in southeast Europe and I identify as male, both making me a rarer breed of pony collector I guess :D

I have been obsessed with ponies since the early 90s, when I got my first ones as a kid. I remember owning a few back then, namely Rockin' Beat Sweet Notes, Baby Ballerina Toe Dancer, Rainbow Baby Sunribbon, Hairdo Beautiful Bows, Flower EU exclusive Daffodil, and Romance EU exclusive Love Letter. Obviously back then we did not know these ponies were rare and, although I kept my collection in pristine condition as a child, my parents thought as I was growing up that boys shouldn't play with ponies, so they gave them all away :eek:

I started re-collecting again the moment I got my first job in the early 2000s, G3s were in circulation back then so I got a few, including my favourites Desert Rose and Minty. I recently decided I want to get back into collecting some G1 ponies, at least a few of my favourites, such as the Perfume Puff set. I am also trying to get my hands on some of the Basic Fun remakes, I recently received my Fizzy with great excitement!

As for my Pony alter ego, I am a male unicorn pony named Eastern Lights. My special unicorn power is to see the aura of a person's current mood, as I consider myself to be quite an empath.

Nice meeting everyone and I am hoping to see you around the boards!
 
Welcome pony friend! Nice to have you here. Glad you can get the ponies you want now and display them proudly. I think children should be well rounded and be able to collect what ever they love. Toys should not be gender specific but it still happens. Hope you enjoy it here with us!
 
Welcome to the TP! I agree, toys should just be toys but it was a different time back then, my parents did the same thing to my brother who always wanted to play with my dolls. Meanwhile, the last thing I wanted to do as a kid was play with cooking or cleaning toys and now as a grown up I love to bake and cook and I'm a OCD neat freak so I don't think our childhood play changes who we are anyways!

Hopefully we can help you obtain some of your long-lost ponies.....and then some more!
 
Hiii!! Welcome to the herd!! Glad to have you. :purpleheart: Im so sorry your collection was taken away, I hope youre able to replace some of them. Everyone is welcome here and in fact I had more male pony collecting friends than I did otherwise until i joined here. Pony collectors come in all sorts! :D
 
Hi and welcome!
