Im just curious as to what else everyone collects apart from ponies, and I mean that as in fakies & MLP, any other collections?
I personally have stuck to just ponies, but used to collect 80's toys in general, made a decision to focus on one collection & get rid of the rest though.
I just think its interesting what others are attracted to collect. Feel free to post pictures too ;D

Hmm....well, I don't really collect any one thing (other than MLP and fakies, of course). I am really into toys, though, especially vintage toys from the 70's and 80's. I've still got the vast majority of my toys from when I was a kid in the 80's, and have been buying toys from flea markets and whatnot for most of my life. Unfortunately everything is pretty scattered here, so I can't really provide a photo. I also collect pipes, but that's a story for another forum.

Pipes? Do tell. ;D I collect vintage cat figurines and... cat things in general. I also have some kind of fondness for shower scrubbies... you know, the little poofy balls. Somehow I've gotten quite a collection of them, since they're cheap and everyone I know buys them for me.

LOL. Well, at last count I had 35 different pipes and water pipes, and that was a few years ago so it's probably closer to 50 by now. I only smoke out of one water pipe, but I can't say no to a glass piece. Plus my dad likes buying me pipes, so my collection keeps growing even if I don't buy anything new.

Yupyup. He gave me my very first pipe, actually. A little metal one he'd had for like twenty years.

I can't say I collect anything as interesting as pipes! Sylvanian Families figurines, accessories, furniture and dollshouses; fantasy novels; heavy metal CDs (although the two aren't collections as much as necessary for life, kind of like breathing but maybe even a shade more important!) and real MLP, of course. Also a lot of sewing materials that I kind of hoard for future projects, I have boxes and boxes full of material of different colours and prints!
(Yeah, don't live with someone into crafts as well as ponies ... you'll never have space again...)

Got to agree with you there, I have so many pencils & paints, and try to keep them in the one spot, but they spread

knottykitty, at first when I read "pipes" I thought like under the sink kind of pipes XD
MLP is the first thing I've really collected hardcore. I have a small LPS collection sitting on top of my hamsters cage, but I don't get those a lot.

Hmm, gerbils? No seriously, we started out having two, and they multiplied. I have a thing for colored pencils, markers, and not the cheap kind. Anyone who's into art knows what I'm talking about ^_^;; Other than that I collect dvd's (especially childhood movies like once upon a forest + disney), Hello Kitty/sanrio, Nintendo merch *blush* and ... game consoles? LOL. I also have a collection of newer care bears.. That's about it

*squishes Amy* I collect anything that appeals to me I used to - but cut back to one collection (ponies), was for a reason though
