Penguin-themed G3 Baby Pony re-paint, gift to Emi.
My Little Pony was the toy of my earliest childhood memory. I emigrated from the Philippines to America with Starshine in tow (and have her, still).

Later, in college (of all times!), my interest was rekindled by the appearance of G3s and some crossover from the custom doll blogs I followed at the time. I'd originally meant to keep my collection "limited" to babies, pegasi, and unicorns... but it wasn't long before Hasbro flooded the stores with them. Presently, I'm collecting specific favorites from every generation, but I sort of organize them by families or themes, and I especially enjoy finding bait to restore in thrift stores, swap meets, or craigslist. My best find to date has been a thrift store $5 G3 Crystal Rainbow Castle, though my favorite find was a $2 G1 Teeny Tiny Whiskers. My current obsession is baby ponies and completing my Paradise Estate.

Recently, I've begun blogging about my preoccupation.

Note: The years listed beneath each pony are not necessarily the release year of the pony, just what is stamped on its foot.

Digital Collection

    Sometimes, I play PonyStars. YunikoNeko has my main herd and NekoYuniko has my secondary herd. I was horribly addicted when I first started culling my real life collection, but I haven't really played for a spell. I still periodically log on, though.


For Sale

    Looking for something to complete your collection, to be a place holder, or to play with? I have a few ponies available for purchase or trade for ponies on my wishlist. See the link to my photobucket account after the instructions and sales policy.

    All of my little ponies come from a smoke-free home and are typically in good condition unless otherwise described in the comments. I take care to describe any quirks to the best of my ability. If you need more detailed photographs, just ask!

    If you are interested, please send me an e-mail! Be sure to include your name and zip code so that I may quote you a shipping rate before you decide to put one on hold.

    I accept payment via PAYPAL ONLY (bank or credit card) within 3 days of confirming a request to hold. I will not hold items indefinitely, but usually up to as long as a week. I ship as soon as possible after receipt of payment- the next business day. I always notify buyers of shipment as soon as possible after an order has shipped.

    The domestic buyer is to pay actual First Class shipping rates + Delivery Confirmation unless Priority Mail is requested or less expensive. I will ship internationally if law permits. However, I will not be held responsible for parcels lost by the postal system. I will be happy to send you a quote for each available shipping option, so please choose accordingly.

    If you are a member of the Trading Post or Arena, please leave feedback for YunikoNeko! I will be happy to return the favor. :)

    On to the ponies!

I'm a member of the Arena and the Trading Post under the name YunikoNeko if you are looking to sell. :)


Favorite Custom Pony Artists

    Lady Minty's Custom Persuasion. This was one of the first custom pony sites I frequented. Great customs, great tutorials. The galleries are still up for browsing, but it seems she doesn't update, anymore.

    Mari Kasurinen. Various pop/nerd culture ponies of awesomeness and win.

    RequiemArt herd. It's hard to name a favorite. A friend of mine shared with me the Dr. Horrible ponies, but I was more interested in the custom aquatic line.

    Teal Slipper's Ponies. I came for the (kind of infamous) Venus of Willendorf pony. I stayed for the Queen of Hearts.

    sammytvr on DA. Love the Sweeney Todd and Rainbow Brite ponies. Also hate to admit I love the Xtina ponies. This artist really gets the personalities right.

    woosie on DA. My favorites are her sweet little blue goth/punk pony, purple giraffe, and a Last Unicorn! Not to mention Jack Sparrow.

    eponyart on DA. I can't stand Twilight but I'm linking her gallery anyway because her customs are just that cool.
