Show me the best and/or worst fakies you've ever seen.

[Greylady]

These may or may not be ponies you own.  And feel free to have a real MLP beside them for comparison of height and general quality if you want.
My personal favourite:

That's a legit MLP Rainbow Dash G3 next to a rather lovely fakie. She came in a set of 12 ponies in a large carry case. Four of them are obviously styled off G3's, the rest are smaller with almost more Lanard-esque faces. Their vinyl is a lot softer than real G3's. Their eye paint is very, very close to real G3's, though all the fakie versions have a dark purple and pink eye colour. They come in different colours and have the same symbol. Snowflakes. Their hooves are free of any markings, but they have "MADE IN CHINA" in small print along their stomachs. Their hair is quite good quality and very shiny, though some have crimples in it that refuse to come straight. The hair simply sits in their heads, however. Even a small amount of force while brushing will pull strands out. (My sister happened to really take to one of them, so I glued the hair inside her head myself. They have no glue holding their necks to their bodies, either, the head pulls off easily with a slight tug). The tails have a strip of metal clamped around them which functions similarly to a washer. They make great custom bait! And as they come in a set of 12 for about €15 here in Ireland, it's a good place to start.

This is a legit Rarity G4 (and a pink bait fakie pony of the type above) next to an abomination. These ponies cost €2 for 2 in Euro General (similar to a dollar store). They're made out of shiny, hard plastic. They seem to be inspired by G3.5 (sorry, I don't own any 3.5s to compare it to). They have manes and tails made from the same plastic as their bodies which is hot glue gunned to their heads.

As you can see, on the left pony, the bodies are hollow with a big ol' screw keeping the two halves together. The bottoms of their feet are lumpy and they wobble a lot, They come in four colours, I also own the other one (which is light pink and has yellow hair, the reverse of the third pony above) but I can't seem to find her right now. You also can't see it too clearly, but the insides of the hair and tail are hollowed out, almost like a shell that hovers above the ponies body like a cape.


Anyone else ever seen any of these themselves?

That "abomination" fakie actually looks a lot like a Ponyville pony. Those were done in a style similar to G3.5, but slightly different.

Oh my god the neck on the ponyville fakie

Personally I absolutely adore Lanards~

This pony came in an odd box. It was a flimsy cardboard one in light pink and green. I forget the actual name on the box, but I believe it was "Pretty Ponies" or something similar. They also included little cheap flimsy pink hairclips. They have no sort of brand name.    I almost didn't buy them, but I decided to  because I just thought they were so terribly put together it was laughable. Perhaps these ones are made from stolen, or atleast similar, moulds to Ponyville Ponies?

I was planning on picking up a Lanard farmset soon, they've been selling them in a Toys R Us in the city.    They look simply lovely. I wouldn't mind starting up another collection for Lanards.

It would have been about November of last year when I bought the Ponyville fakies here in the Republic of Ireland. If I remember correctly, Poundland is part of the chain of Euro Generals. Maybe these fakies are an inside job, so to speak.

[SnorkMaiden]

Yes, I remember seeing those Ponyville fakies in Poundland. I was wondering at the time why on earth you'd put hair slides in a box with ponies that haven't got brushable hair.

I found that terribly funny when I saw them. The accessories are better quality than the toys.

These two are the best fakies I've seen, they're the only two that I've ever wanted to buy:

How bad are they? I found them in Greece and I had to do a double take to see that they weren't the real deal.

Here are some fakies that I like. Not my pictures.

I've got the yellow one as a necklace ! My boyfriend bought me the necklace in Camden Market about 2 years ago, but I never saw the lady that was selling them ever again afterwards ! You can always make necklaces with those

[hathorcat]

Those are amazing mercynova! I would have had to look more than twice to see that they werent real!

I dont have a picture to hand but the ones that scare me the most are "scary Asda ponies"...anyone in the UK who has been in an Asda toy aisle will know the ponies I mean...seriously!!!

Okay, here are some of my personal favorites (pictures don't belong to me):

1. G1 Mold Fakies
Of course it all depends on how are they're made. Here are some of those I like:

Now for the ones I don't like:

1. Remco Fakies and Fakies of Remco Fakies
Ugh... As much as I generally enjoy looking and have some fake ponies, these ones just don't appeal to me to say the least.
They look more like hippos or some bizzare dino than a real pony. Just take a look - here are the Remco ones:

... and the fakies of them:

The last ones look particularly bad. 

2. Sunshine Ponies/Donkeys
No... just no...

3. Merry-Go-Round Fakies
They wouldn't actually be that bad, their shape looks decent, but there's something about their eyes that's just disturbing:

And that's pretty much it.
