A New Addition to My Mane Collection...Bah Gak!

I was born in  the late eighties and often spent hours watching reruns of My Little Pony and the movie rarely left my vhs player. I have always loved every reincarnation of My Little Pony including the new series Friendship is Magic. As a collector, I would probably say that the MLP is one of my main collections if not my focus.

The My Little Pony Fair celebrated it's 12th year this year and is a great place for collectors because the dealer room is full of toys, visitors have the opportunity to meet creators, and voice actors, and the convention itself has it's own exclusives. I have yet to be able to attend it in person but it is on my dream list of conventions to visit. However,  because boyfriends  can also be pretty magical, I received this years exclusive in the mail.


  When I discovered that this years' Pony Fair exclusive was "Chickenpie", I instantly wanted it. "Chickenpie" is from Season two of Friendship is Magic.Luna Eclipsed is my favorite episode of Friendship is Magic. The Episode combines the ponies with my favorite holiday, Halloween, or Nightmare Nights in Ponyville. Did I mention that she comes in a chicken bucket as well?







Usually, a week or so after a convention, the exclusives start to pop-up on eBay. With local conventions coming up I was unsure that I would have the funds to get this one. I had showed Steve an unboxing video featuring chickenpie and a about a week later this showed up in the mail.  Mine is extremely special because it is signed by Andrea Libman who voices Pinkie Pie! I was extremely excited and that excitement grew even more when Steve showed me the Photos of Andrea signing it!





With signed merchandise it is
usually recommend that the seller has photos of the celebrity signing the item. this makes it easier to verify that the signature is real.I am really excited to work this piece into my collection of ponies. I just have to find the right spot.

who are your favorite ponies? What are some of your favorite episodes from Friendship is Magic?

  1. My favorite pony is Luna! I'm a long-time pony collector since the 1980's and I love the MLP Fair. Only been once, but you must go sometime! I think I love the Nightmare Night one with Luna the best. It has Chickenpie, and all kinds of cute scenes. - Bri
