Adults Obsessed With My Little Pony

Written by ThreadOfTheDay.com on October 30, 2008 in: toys | Tags: , , , , , ,

When I was a kid, My Little Pony was popular with little girls. I had no idea they are still being made and that there are many adults very, very obsessed with collecting them.

Thousands of  MLP collectors faithfully gather at the forums of MLPArena.com to share all things related to My Little Pony. In this thread, they are discussing how friends and family are sick of hearing them talk obsessively about these toys.

I don’t blame them. Just reading this one thread makes me want to never hear about ponies ever again.

  • I started that thread, so I have to admit that I’m amused to see it referenced someplace else.

    Lots of people collect wierd things. So, uh, go to hell. Thanks.

  • So, a thought crossed your mind? Must have been a long and lonely journey.

  • So, I guess My Little Pony collectors are more insane than Hotwheels, Action Figure, and Comic Book Collectors? Interesting…. but wrong.

  • heck YES I’m weird! Who would ever want to be boring and normal? Thanks for showing people the site, even if you did pick that thread to start with, lol!

    As someone who has close to 1,000 of them, I don’t feel obsessed; if I’m obsessed with anything, lol, it’s with music.
    My ponies have been purchased over the course of 20 years, so that’s what, 50 a year on average? Not even one a week. Some people, when they’re feeling down, go on an eating binge, or go shopping for a new wardrobe; I just spend $5 on a toy that reminds me of my childhood. *shrugs*
    you tell me, lol, which one is ‘better’?

  • Wow, pony power in action here. Looks like a nerve was struck.

    For the record, ThreadOfTheDay.com believes there is nothing wrong with collecting My Little Pony. If you enjoy it, keep on collecting. Like some of you have stated, lots of people collect many different things.

    Friends and family who are not as interested in My Little Pony do not want to hear somebody talking about it constantly. This post was only agreeing with the same sentiment of many members in the mlparena.com forum.

  • Don’t mind them. They are a nasty bitter bunch. They once mistook a woman for a pony collector they considered “unworthy” of the community and trashed her online Engagement album with profanity and crudeness. Some people can’t seem to leave their childhood behind and cling to their toys and adolescent pettiness.
