Your opinion on Fakies?

[PonySeeker128]

I don't collect fakies, the ones I aquire I give to my daughter to deter her from grabbing my ponies. Unfortunately they are starting to overflow from her pony bag so it may be time to find some new homes..

The funny thing is I liked fakies better in most of my toys as a child. I had a Remco and Buddy L that I played with more than my ponies. I had Lanard Jelly Bean dolls I played with more than Strawberry Shortcake. I had Breyers and Grand Champions but the matriarch of my herd was a Kid Kore horse. I had Sweetie pups but played with my Cititoy knockoff more. Only my vintage LPS and Puppy in my Pocket were equal to their knock offs in how much I played with them.

I'm not that big on fakies, though I owned and played with quite a few of them growing up. I admit that I adore the fakie "Princess Rinse n' Spit" though and make an exception for her. Something about her makes me crack up whenever I see one. She's just so goofy looking, I just have to love anything that can put a smile on my face like that. I also like the Takara baby fakies, though I wouldn't be willing to pay the going rate for them.

Some are cute! I think if I had one, I'd use them to customize. I've always wanted to, but, I'm soooo scared of messig up on a hasbro pony.

I like the scary 1984 Lanards...I have them in purple, yellow, green and brown. I don't collect other fakies

I like them, but I like the actual MLP better. I have one, but I don't want more than 2 or 3 more fakies in my collection.

Some fakies are really cute and I want them but i just dont have the room to collect them too... I already collect CPK ponies as well as all generations of MLP.

[DazzleKitty]

There are some I like and wouldn't mind owning but I simply have no room for them all. I adore the older Lanard fakies. I used to own a lot of them but sold them off.   I wish I had kept them.

My childhood herd was all bought by my dad xD
He wanted me to have them ALLLLL 
I only have 3 fakies that I took from my little sister...

I dislike fakies do to that's all I really had going up.my mom thought they where just as good as my little ponies.

I actually started collecting fakies before I eased into Hasbro. Maybe at first it was simple defiance, but I really do love the variance and the mysterious nature of fakies. I guess I'm just weird, but I have such a soft spot for things that are ugly cute, so while I admit that some fakies are very ugly, I still tend to find things about them that are simply adorable. (Like the CPK fakies are kind of ugly, with their big heads and everything, but I have this bright red one with an apple symbol and cute little hearts on the hooves!)

Not only that, but I find knockoffs in general to be quite fascinating. No matter what it is, if it exists, someone else has tried to rip it off. You can tell a lot about a fad just by looking at the kinds of fakies it has.

I had some fakies growing up, namely Remcos and other misc. kinds. My mom thought they were My Little Pony because they were horses with hair and tails, and didn't think I could tell the difference. But I knew. I was 3 and could tell a cheap Barbie doll from the real thing.

I don't own a lot of fakies. I do have a few. Sometimes, I'll pick up some at work that might look cute. Other times, I don't really bother. I'm running out of room for my real ponies right now, much less fakies!

[Roogna]

I like a few
shs fakies
big brother fakies
rinse n spit
totsy
and one other (unnamed - but a pic in my want thread)

[Leegeta]

I personally don't care for them. Majority of them are creepy looking and it's not something i grew up with. There are some cute one's, but not cute enough for me to grab =P

[Rachel-Eyes]

And dang it. Thanks to this thread, I had a dream last night that I found a random Rinse N Spit at my grandma's house. I was so sure it was real.
