On Monday I had No Ponies...

[Tak]

@Emillia It's a beautiful start and good job thinking of the sunlight. You could try slightly tinted plexiglass in front of an open display if you ever change your mind. Is that Bonnie bonnets I spy? I think she's so cute.

That's a great idea! It's a really simple closet from Ikea, so making my own doors on them shouldn't be too hard. My mom has done that before, I'll ask her about it, thanks!
And yes, that's Bonnie! Currently with her hair in curlers though. I really like her original hair style and I'm trying to replicate it.

The one I have is Sakura Miku she's lovely and cheerful. I'm not a huge Miku fan in general, but her and Calne Ca (the one I bought who's been stuck in Japan since the pandemic) are so lovely I couldn't resist.

Really? Do you have a picture of her? I used to be the biggest vocaloid nerd and sakura miku is just the cutest!

I have Hamtaro, the big ham himself XD It sure is hard to find Hamtaro merch/dvds/anything these days

Cute! I have a few plush of hamtaro’s friends from back when it was new, but yeah I hardly ever see anything now.

Calne Ca is a really impressive figure!
I forget which Miku it is usually because I always remember her as “Bacterial Contamination Miku” because of the song

I was supposed to say before,

I'm boring, I prefer prize figures XD

It’s not boring, prize figures are amazing! All the detail and work that goes into them makes me amazed and it’s also amazing how people are able to own more than one to me, especially the bigger ones

 

[Sofiasharkpony]

Congrats for your start,and that Upside Down Applejack for eyes and cutie mark is cute a lot!

That really is a great idea, @Tak I'm gonna keep that plexiglass idea in mind. I can't stand how quickly dust builds up on figures--forget plushes
Sure do @Emillia

Really, which ones?do you still have them? Bet they'd worth a pretty penny nowadays too Bring back Hamtaro! It was such a sweet and adorable show

Isn't she?! I put down $200 on her last year and I still don't have her Great music video. I love her and all the variations they have of Ca. Glad you like prize figures too! The ones I have are pretty small compared to their scale counterparts, but I love the value and I really do like the ease of them having a set pose.

Thank you! Isn't she precious

She's so pretty!

I don't know how well it comes across in the photo, but her twin tails have a fade, so they start as hair texture and end in an ephemeral one

That Miku is gorgeous! Someday I’ll find one too
I do! Gimme a minute and I’ll take a pic of them, lol I could never sell them though even if they are worth a lot. And yes! A new version of Hamtaro would be soo cute!

Bijou’s eyes have yellowed a bit but she’s still cute

Bijou, Pashmina & Penelope?! They are so precious I can't stand it!! >_<
No I would never sell them either, those are priceless for sure!
And tbh, I got that Miku on Wish ^-^;

Yup!! All the adorable girls (actually I think there was one more girl but I don’t remember her name)
Yeah? I‘ve never been sure if that site was real or not. Was she pretty cheap?

There may have been another girl? I didn't even remember their names until I saw your plushies, then it came flooding back XD
Wish isn't great? I don't use it often because the shipping is a little ridiculous on some listings & I prefer aliexpress for cheap shopping. That said, I have bought several figures from Wish that I am very happy with, despite some being knockoffs

Haha well I’m happy my plushies could bring back good memories!
I went and checked out that figure on wish and the shipping was only $3 for that particular one, not too bad Are they good looking knockoffs at least?

Hamtaro is nothing but good memories
Well, mine is a knock-off If you look at that listing, you'll see that she's subtlety different than the picture of mine. The only structural weakness mine has is that her arm pops off quite easily if it's directly nudged. It slots back into place perfectly though, and not an issue when I pick her up from the base to move around.

 

[Morris_2426]

Good start! I mostly remember the smell of my ponies and still the same to this day. I think just having them out of the package and being admired is enough. Evey now and then maybe a little playing

I started collecting recently because I kept remembering the smell of the ponies and felt it would help me remember more of my childhood. Its kind of a blur for me and scents help.

 

[quartz_]

I totally get that. I have this specific smell in my memory and I think I can smell it under the other scents.

 

[MustBeJewel]

It is a slippery slope, my friend! Congratulations on the beginning of your collection, and here's to many more lovely ponies in your future!

 

[OctoberMoon]

Yes. I was totally prepared to get them out of storage and sell them. As soon as I opened the tote, the smell took my breath away and I fell in love all over again. Needless to say my herd has multiplied!!

Hmm, why does that sound so very familiar?
