Wow! What a Haul, and by Luna am I done till next paycheck. I found a goldmine of a local comics shop. He must have every single issue of MLP comics, but I only buy in anthologies, and he has plenty of those too, and can get more. I stopped myself at two. This guy was exactly the Boof I've been hoping to connect with. After that I headed over to an antique mall he recommended. Sweetie Drops is a no stranger, she is known, my first Gen 4 pony...alongside RD. For a Pony who told himself he wasn't ever gonna do plush toys. One glance, just one glance from RD fixed that right up. A gentle bath with a damp and a dry cloth has her 20% cooler and back to near mint. I really was thinking I would get another Gen 1 pony to take over from the one I lost, she could never be replaced, but she wouldn't want me to be alone and from somewhere, she still doesn't. Dancing Butterflies is a "Twice As Fancy" mare Pegasus, and she is covered in Butterfly symbols. Quite the cutie markings you got there girl, whoa. It does surprise me that Dancing Butterflies doesn't seem to come up in the discussion about which ponies inspired Fluttershy. Several do, but not to my knowledge Dancing Butterflies. It was relevant to me to get at least one Gen 1 pony again. I don't care about the packaging. I'll get nuts about that when I start going for Gen 4 Funko products, which is really the next phase of my collecting. Really, it's gonna be mainly Gen 4 Funko. At least until I finally get to browse the vendor section of a Con. Sure to be plenty of custom stuff there. My wallet is already groaning!
