More G3 updates

With the G3s being the closest to complete of anything in my collection, you would think I'd be happy to just let them be after their recent move and reorg.

Nope.

I wasn't totally happy with the display and started fiddling around with it during Geek Cave weekend.  This past weekend I went back and finished reorganizing everyone again.

I moved the con exclusive and other special release ponies up to the top of the bookcase, where they can hang out with the 25th anniversary G3 set.  I adjusted the playset shelves as well, and finally got the hot air balloons onto a shelf.  Everyone else got a bit of a rearrangement that has resulted in a little more breathing room between ponies on all the shelves.

The G3s are arranged generally by themes.  They're the only Generation where I've done this to this extent, somehow it seems to really work for these ponies.

Tropical and Nature (flora and fauna) Ponies

Miscellaneous Ponies (including art, music, clothing, and fireworks)

Breezies and Castle Ponies

Pegasus Ponies on Butterfly Island

Food Ponies, Winter and Spring Ponies, and a Nursery

Valentine and Halloween Ponies, Foodie Ponies, and Celestial Ponies

I'm much happier with how this section is looking now.  I think the G3s can get comfy now and settle in to their new home.

Strawberry Party

It's late winter, it's still dark, it's still chilly, it's time to liven things up with a little get together.

Strawberry has invited some friends over for snacks and stargazing.  Strawberry and Custard are getting the rest of the food ready while Frosty Puff and Raspberry Tart set up the telescope.

Everyone else is chatting away in the living room.

Well, nearly everyone is chatting.  Huckleberry Pie is already perusing the snack table.

Don't touch that cake yet, Huckleberry!

Time to get the party started!

These dolls are some of my Brazilian Shortcakes.  They are the more modern Brazilian dolls that were done in the 2000s and are based on the same characters as the Bandai Shortcakes that were sold in North America.  Unlike the Bandai dolls, these ones were made using the same body design as the original Shortcakes, which adds to their charm.  I love the design of these dolls.  They are so cute and the clothes are just fantastic.

Geek Cave Weekend Wrap-Up

When last we left our intrepid heroes, they were preparing for the annual Geek Cave Weekend.  Since then, things have been accomplished.

OK, this was not the most productive weekend.  There was a fair bit of organization, which makes for a satisfying day, but not much in the way of photo ops.  The biggest change, however, was the switch over of the giant display table.  Grayskull is now on a smaller, but still ample display space while the Berry Happy Home has space on the giant table and still leaves space for other displays and photo ops.

We also got one of the new narrow shelves in.  A second one will go beside it, which will help to balance the room a bit and also give Roomy more display space for the Great Rebellion.

Under the table, there is lots of display and storage space, but it's all being used for storage at the moment.  A lot of accessories were organized and put away this weekend, which was a long time coming.  Several things have been identified to move on to other collectors in due time, and these will slowly be moved out of the Cave. And at some point in the near future, I should finally be able to get my anniversary ponies out on display.

The shelf above the closet that previously held the 25th anniversary ponies is now home to the large and specialty G4s.

Finally, the EQG Minis have a permanent home under the pony minis (and under the table).

I'm never completely happy with the progress on these weekends, because I always want to do at least twice as much as I have time for.  However, I'm really glad we got the furniture moved and some proper organization and clean up done.  Any weekend spent in the Geek Cave is a good weekend.
