Pony merch addiction? Are you a victim?

[Kiri 7,291]

I was totally addicted to getting G3 merch when I was a kid. I still have the "A Very Minty Christmas" and "Princess Promenade" DVD's, a Pinkie Pie plush, and quite a few pony figures from back then.

 

The only recent pony merch I've purchased is the Minty plush from Build-A-Bear. I couldn't say no to her cute little face! XD

 

 

 Currently, I don't have an interest in purchasing more pony-related stuff. 

 

 

...But that could change.

I used to be deep in pony merch. I bought so many of the brushables and fashion style ponies starting 2011, all the Funkos, random toys, some plush. But I realized I was just collecting a lot for the sake of collecting. And it wasn't as fun. I got burned out of the Hasbro toys because of the huge dip in quality and the fact that they were all just the main six over and over, and I hated feeling obligated to buy all the new Funkos just because I had all the others.

 

I went on a several year hiatus, and since I stepped back I realized I don't care about or need all the stuff I have. A few I still like, but I would be fine with severely culling the herd. When collecting becomes more about owning something rather than enjoying it, it's no longer fun. Or it wasn't for me.

I hope the toys at the convention are higher quality. They at least need like 20-30$ range quality, and they could probably go higher

I buy a lot of blind bags from the local mall.

I'm always looking forward to pony books, so that may count as an addiction . Also, the closest thing I got to toy addiction is the Power Ponies Funko Minis. I've wanted the one of Pinks like she's about to leap, and bough 4 of those figures, but none of them had her. two weeks later, I was so salty that I've bough even more (partly due to a clearance sale), and since I've got her (it was my last unopened box  ), I'm not looking forward to more toys now
