What's this? Not model horses? That's right, I figured it was time for my first off-topic post! In honor of Gadsden Collector Con that just happened last Saturday (which I missed due to having no ride, very sad) I wanted to post about these two G1 MLPs I found at last year's GCC, Daddy Apple Delight & Baby North Star, which then inspired me to go ahead and make an off topic blog post honoring some of my favorite G1 MLPs!
Bowtie was one of the very first G1s I bought back when I started collecting them as a 13/14 year old, and I love her dearly. She may even be my favorite G1 pony. When I was 19 I boarded a plane for the very first time to travel to Boston, which was also my first time ever traveling across the country, and my anxiety disorder was severe around that time, so I brought Bowtie with my and combed her hair on takeoff to keep myself calm. It worked!
Baby Fifi was a grail for a long time before I finally stumbled upon one for a decent price. I just love her little poodles, and I'm a sucker for a blue pony. Also...
I think she makes an EXCELLENT baby for Bowtie! (Never mind the fact that there does exist a Baby Bowtie...)
Dancing Butterflies, along with a few of the other Twice As Fancy ponies, was also a grail for me. Isn't she lovely? I love this pose, too. Unfortunately, when I curled her mane, it didn't hold! However you can see that her tail has stayed curled just fine, very strange...
And finally we have my 3 favorite unicorns, Gusty, Sparkler and Starflower. I adore this pose (I feel like it also looks very similar to Dancing Butterflies' pose) and these three are like my trinity, ESPECIALLY Starflower. It's extremely hard to find her with her symbols in good condition unless you're buying a reproduction, but I wanted the original! (Gusty is a repro and Sparkler has had her mane cut, but I think she looks kind of dashing with the shorter hair.)
Anywho, that's it for now. See you with something more substantial in a bit!
