Abstract 832 July 14, 2012 Share July 14, 2012 Seems like most people enjoy showing support for...whatever it may be. Ponies just happen to be one of our outlets. I proudly wear my brony t-shirt and fluttershy necklace, couldn't really point to a specific reason why. (Perhaps a bit selfish; "Look at me, don't you just love my pony stuff?" ) "Let the steel of my resolve be not bested by the sum of my fears."

Homura Akemi 974 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 It looks nice in my closet. I haven't been doing a lot of it lately because I should be saving money. I'm not a hardcore collector, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaghettinoodles 298 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 I buy them because they give me something to look forward to spending money on. People just like to collect things, and what better things to collect than ponies? I have two shirts, and wearing a pony shirt is like wearing a shirt of your favorite band. It just feels right. Also, buying the merch supports the show and Hasbro. Also, if you love ponies, why would you not want to have a little pony of your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My little pwny 1,392 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 The inner child in me believe that Toy Story is real and that the ponies I own come to life when I'm not around. Real answer: I love collecting things I like, i.e. video games, sports stuff, and ponies! 1 See you November 8th, 2014! http://mlpforums.com/topic/32494-important-announcement-of-mine-please-read-the-whole-thing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuki Kiryuin 1,155 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 I buy them because I like the t-shirt designs and I like supporting my favourite TV Show at the moment.^^ ~Felicity~ @OtarineMusic | Otty's Facebook | Otty's Youtube | Otty's Soundcloud | Otty's Bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matus 130 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 I don't buy 'em, but if I had to I'd buy an Applejack plushie Now come to think of it, that sounds like a great idea *runs to shop* OMG YOU AND ME HAVE THE SAME PICTURE. BRB GOTTA GO CHANGE ITanyways, all I've bought is a brony bracelet, because If for whatever reason I do get to buy ponies, I wont play with them, they WILL collect dust, and the shirts... I wont wear because i'm that much of a pussy. The bracelet is subtle but can be noticed by fans, thus leading to discussion about ponies, thus leading to GameGrumps is a Match made in heaven Youtube www.youtube.com/swordmaster1337 I do fifa, and lets plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Derp M.D. 159 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 I made a keychain out of a Fluttershy figure from McDonalds. Why did I do it? Because I'm a badass, and I don't care if people don't like it. I put that shit on my backpack, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphite 80 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 i dont give a shit about what other people think of me being a brony so, i guess thats why This +1 I openly display my bronyness, i have a Cutie mark crusaders logo sticker on my car, a Rainbow dash hanging from the mirror, i listen to pony music and wear pony clothes and i display my pony toys/figures in a display cabinet.

mintfreshAD 55 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 I collect all sorts of random trinkets and figures, especially related to stuff I like. So to me it's just an extension of that. I like collecting things because it makes my rooms more interesting to look at, shows my taste in stuff off, and I like the thrill of hunting down various things. I almost never buy stuff online, because finding them in real life is part of the thrill. Of course, I've broken that rule a few times, if it was something I really wanted, and the likelihood of my finding it in real life was pretty much nil. Which is why I'm glad the Asda near me has finally started stocking MLP figures! I grabbed the four-pack of Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash, and a couple of blind bags which turned out to be glow-in-the-dark Twilight and Sprinkle Stripe. Who I'd never heard of, but sounds delicious. If you're happy and you know it you're unusual. But that doesn't mean it's not worth trying~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasistersincethe80s 126 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 I collect the blind bag ponies and I have 3 MLP T-shirts a Derpy, Rainbow Dash and a Pinkie Pie. I started after I had a bad day at work and I went to McDonald's and got a Happy Meal and a caramel sundae with 4 shots of caramel and I got a MLP toy in the meal.

SydneyGrey 32 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 I buy the toys (brushables, mini blind bag figures) because I like toys anyway. Always have. I don't buy the shirts, although I probably would have when I was a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Flame 381 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 I buy the merch because I like collecting things, and it's a great way to support the show if you don't want to buy the episodes online. One of the main things that keeps me involved in this fandom is waiting for the new releases and discussing them with others while waiting for them to actually hit store shelves. And there isn't much that can beat the feeling of finding something you've been missing for a while and finally adding it to the collection.

Nouth 496 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 Being a closet creature, I do not buy any pony stuff. I would be too shy to wear shirts, and when it comes to figures, well, I have yet to see one I would consider worth the payment :/ (note that I've only seen like 4 so far). I didn't like any of the figures I've stumbled across (AJ, Celestia, Twi and something I'm not sure about), manely because of their heads, they seemed a bit odd to me. But I can definitely see why would you buy the stuff. I would personally buy it to put it somewhere where I would see it on my everyday routine, like in my school changing box, so I'd get reminded of ponies and get my mood instantly up (as it happens when I think of ponies).

Ethan Pow 332 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 maybe I would buy a plushie of my own OC because I am like that. *squee* I don't care if you judge me I love the show.

xDoctorWhoovesx 3 July 25, 2012 Share July 25, 2012 The only merchadise I buy are the Blind Bag figures. They are small and look nice to display in a group. I bought them because I needed a little Pony love up in my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
