About 5 of my 1980s MLP Ponies are Horseshoe Points. Tux and Tails, Wedding Day, and Repunzil. These were rare and also my mom was more a fan than I was.

I never got to obtain any of the mini sesame street plushes legitimately (I think the promotion ran a few years before my time anyway) but I've managed to find Oscar and Bert at my local flea market! They're surprisingly good quality for cereal box prizes, and are absolutely adorable. I think if I ever find more of the set, I'll get those too. I'm not sure what their actual value is today, but I got both of mine for less than five dollars. Either they're not very valuable, or the people selling them didn't know what they had.

I love collecting the mail away ponies, never had a chance to get them originally. They also had some where you could pick the color you wanted. Fun fact, another type of toy promotion hasbro did for my little pony back in the day was have an exclusive baby pony at Chuck E Cheese, a pizza place, that you had to play games for enough tickets to exchange for the pony. I always thought it was cool, I cant remember ever seeing branded toys as prizes at those types of places. The pony had the logo on its hip. Ps: Hooray for getting a sponsor!!

I always loved mail-away exclusives when I was a kid. It was such a long wait (felt like forever when you're a kid), but very rewarding when it finally arrived in the mail. I would have to say that the most illusive exclusive figure ever made, and one I've yet to see in person or posted by other collectors, was the Mail-Away Mattel Simpsons Bart Simpson figure that had a white shirt with Blinky the fish on it. That figure is a white whale in terms of rarity. Another great video!

I mailed away for Captain Harris and I didn’t get him. I got the guy who shoots a sandwich with a note that they ran out. I was bummed and never was able to get him.
