Craving Christmas/Toy Snobbery

[weedpizza]

I've been craving Christmas since last month (I guess Christmas in July is a thing)!! I love Christmas and its whole vibe! The music, the lights, the smell of real Christmas tree! 🎄 (And yes, I am one of those spoiled brats who got to celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah growing up!) 🎁🎁🎁

Anyway, I've been collecting decorations! I thrifted a couple Christmas trolls (one red/green, and one really cute little baby Russ brand troll with a Santa hat), and I found a couple Christmas Weeble Wobbles (Santa Claus and Rudolph the Reindeer) at my mom's! Then today, this beauty came:



Her name is Merry Treat, she's a G1 My Little Pony! I got her on Ebay... Bit of a splurge for me, since I usually thrift for toys! Her foot says "1984 Hasbro," so yeah... She's a year older than me!

Also, I've put a bid on another Christmas pony, a baby! She was a Kellogg's Cereal mail-order offer back in the 80s! She doesn't have an official name but is referred to as Baby Stockings or Baby Kellogg's. [Edit: I won!]



Unpopular opinion here, but I don't find the new ponies at all cute! I actually really hate anything past G2! I'm a pony snob, LOL! I didn't really like the look of them from the get-go, but all that "brony" stuff sure didn't help! I'm sure it's completely innocent for some, but some of those guys are pedophilic perverts! Sidenote: Why do men have to ruin everything?

While I'm on the subject of toys I hate, I gotta say something - I hate FunkoPops!! I'm sure everyone knows the ones I'm talking about? They're pretty popular, I think, but I'm like straight up Offended by them! I don't care what person/character it depicts, they're all ugly, and fucking tacky! 💩💩💩

'Nother post comin' up (will be FO 🔒)!

Totally with you on funko pops. I think they are dumb.

I also prefer the G1 and G2 ponies! The new ones barely look like ponies! I find some here and there at antiques sales.

You have good taste! G1s and G2s are a thing of beauty!!

I had that My Little Pony when I was a kid!!!! Got her the traditional way, with boxtops. :-) She was so small and I loved her.

No way!! That's so cool!! Those were the days... When you could send in your box tops, and get a really cool toy!!!

Baby Stockings actually arrived today! She's in 'just okay' condition, but I still love her!
