i'm hoping once i get my next pay check that i can commission someone to make me a mimic blind bag custom. i saw someone a few months back had made one and i fell in love with it!!!! i'd even buy the bait for them to make her >.< i'm just not that great. i tried making a G1 mimic, but since then i've got a real mimic so i may hair the custom and sell her if anyone would want her. just gotta get the hair for her. she's not that great -.- if i had smaller paint brushes then she might be better.

Actually, this is something funny about Mimic's "rarity" and high price tag.

I love TE ponies and made it a priority in my collecting to acquire all of the TEs.
I purchased a Mimic (in very good condition) in 2004 for slightly less than $25.  I jumped on the first one I could afford, knowing that she fetched upwards of $75 (at the time).  Over the years, I tracked down each TE pony (all in very good condition, I'm a little picky).  The one who eluded me the most?

Bright Eyes.

Could not find her nor win an auction of her for YEARS.  I finally got one in 2009, and I paid nearly $40, if memory serves.  Still can't believe she was harder to find and more expensive than Mimic was for me, but there you go.

mimic was the first TE pony I got when I started re-collecting in '03.  bright eyes was the last one I finally managed to get my hands on.  I paid $50 for mimic, and $20 for bright eyes.
looking into a re-branding.

i paid $90 for my mimic (i still tell my family i traded for her LOL! mom would be sick if she knew i dropped that kind of money on 1 pony!) so nobody has to know >_>
but i don't regret it at all!!! she's tied for my favorite. her and applejack are both #1 in my book. especially long haired applejack! so pretty *-*
she's definitely the most i've ever spent on a pony, and any amount of pony items in one sitting. but she's worth it! i'm so glad she was offered to me!

This is so true!! I found Mimic easier to track down than both Bright Eyes and a nice Quackers! I dont believe she is "super rare" either just very very sought after! She is such a lovely pony though - its understandable that so many people would like her in their collection
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

Back in the day there was a "Cult of MOC Mimic" button that collectors could put on their pony web pages.  It was a joke, of course, but pony collectors do practically worship MOC Mimic.  Does anyone else remember those?
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.

Mimic is pretty and I'd want her if the twinkle eyes didn't look so wierd.  I'm just going to have to make a custom or a few with painted eyes.
