My Little Ponies!
One of my favourite cartoons when I was a child was My Little Pony. Pink hearts, rainbows, cute creatures on 4 legs! Yeah, please bear with me while I unleash my girly girl side. Lol. I've loved MLP since young and had almost all the episodes of the cartoon series on video tape. I even drew and coloured lots of ponies and actually improved my artistic skills from there. But I was not lucky enough to own the toy figurines because they were only sold in Toys 'R Us and there was no store in Penang then. That was during the early '90s. Hasbro only released the 1st Generation ponies and they probably didn't manage to attract me enough.
This is Royal Bouquet. She is a yellow pony with a beautiful flower on her body and has pink-coloured mane and tail.
And then Toys 'R Us finally arrived in Gurney Plaza, but I was already too old to be playing with toys. I sort of grown out of it and had other likes and interests. But just recently, something sparked me back to my childhood memories. Daph went to Sunday market at Tynemouth and bought some Polly Pocket toys and a boxed My Little Pony. I was so excited when she showed me and begged her to sell it to me almost immediately, but she said it was for Eric's niece.
I had a sudden impulse about owning my very own My Little Pony. So it's off to my favourite store to get them - eBay. I found a couple of listings and placed my bids. Just £0.99 for the starting price. And I won them! I was so glad about it and waited eagerly for my ponies to arrive to their new home. Naomi passed me the packages and I was so delighted to meet them!
As their new owner, I gave each of them some TLC - a nice bath, shampoo and conditioner, set their beautiful locks of curls (mane and tail), and now left to dry. I have never collected ponies before and decided to find out their names. Luckily I found an informative website and successfully ID-ed each of them.
Let's meet my new family...
This is Sunny Daze! She is a cheerful white pony with a symbol of a smiling sun on her body.
This is Bumbleberry! She is a purple pony and she has a pink strawberry with green swirls on her body.
This is Strawberry Swirl! A very sweet pony with dark pink mane and tail with pearly tinsel.
This is Royal Bouquet. She is a yellow pony with a beautiful flower on her body and has pink-coloured mane and tail.And finally...
Meet Pinkie Pie! She's all in pink, with 3 balloons on her body.
I believe they are very happy in their new home now, so am I! *loves* ©
