Question about Takara baby vs fakie

[PinkieShyPony]

Hi everybody

I hope that someone can help me out. I bought a Takara fakie the other day and it arrived today. But when I took her out of her package she seemed bigger and thinner than my other 2 fakies I have. So i compared her and sure enough she is slightly bigger. I was thinking maybe she is just a different brand but then I looked at bandit ponies guide she wrote for identifying Takara babies from fakies and her description of the real babies looks a lot like mine. But that is 4 years old now so things may have changed.  Here are photos of the fakie I got

I know that some fakies do have the stamp on their butt. So before I start thinking I made an awesome deal I wanted to get the opinion of some more experienced members.  Any input would be great. I had been planing to customize this fakie but obviously don't want to if she may be real.

Thank you

Man that looks real to me! The stamp is really prominent, and her hair is the same colour as the legit takara baby popo's! I think you accidentally bought a legit Takara!

Also the fakies have hands like on their lap!! I'm pretty sure this is reallll!!!

Yes I have to agree with Diamond, this looks a lot like an actual Baby Takara and no fakie. If it's the case - congratz!

Thank you. Actually, I thought that it was such a good deal for a fakie that I didn't even look hard at the listing I just bought it as soon as I saw it.

Agree, even for a fakie, it would have been a good deal.
