Dear Dromers,

here is me reaching out to you about the My little Pony topic. Personally I have no idea about the ponies at all but a coworker of mine is heavily into it, rainbow dash to be precise. Him being an appreciated fellow for years in the company I work for I'd like to give something back to him but I honestly don't know how so if anyone has some knowledge about the ponies please let me know.

What he has already is an USB stick in the form of rainbow dash and what I don't want is to give something to him that can be obtained easily. Any collectors around here looking to lend a hand? Available combined budget is up to 50 bucks, euros in this case since we are european people ^^

And if you happen to provide me with a hint regarding street sharks in the same meaning for another coworker of mine I'd appreciate that as well! With that being said: Both guys are neither collectors like most of us around here and I'm sure they are more of nostalgia and lover guys rather than knowing what's up on the market.

:tgrin:

Most smaller scale MLP figurines (from the new series) are fairly inexpensive. You can find them at a local toy shop.

Street Sharks, on the other hand, are a lot more expensive. A loose 90s figure will cost you up to $30 American, and can only be found on eBay. I'll provide some links for cheaper buys.

First off: Thank you so much beloved Mew for reaching out to me within an instant :tlove:

Second off regarding street sharks: I was afraid those aren't going to be "cheap" while at the same time I'm looking for more of a generic figure that looks more friendly than mean.

Second off regarding ponies: As much as I personally have knowledge about those as much I have knowledge about those street shark figures so when you say "new series" it gets me lost right away haha, not kidding.

What would a collector who doesn't have much of an ambition want? Someone who lives up to the memory aka someone who would appreciate a very nice present you really care about as in wanting to make them happy? To neither of those series' I have a relation but still I don't want to give them anything you can get around any corner.

Can't say I know much about the Pony stuff other than having watched it now and then. Although in terms more unique items my first thought was maybe there is cool art available on a site like eBay or Etsy?
