I need to take pictures of my Remco ponies, and try to seek out new variants out there. Though I have one I wish I knew more about.

I'd be very interested in seeing! I have very few true Remcos... some of my childhood ponies were fake Remcos though.  :P

A few years ago I went on a big fakie kick and bought tons... so I'm not sure who I have. XD I know I have a Remco Donkey and two baby Remco twins, one of them is flocked. I really want to get one like this.

not my photo

I miiight have a unicorn somewhere... it's so hard to remember. gah. XD I think the one in the picture was one that was on ebay for a long time and I almost bought it multiple times and it eventually sold... if it wasn't that exact one, it was another with rainbow hair.

I consider them knock offs when they obviously look like MLP, meaning the ones that were basically G3's but have different colors.  I hate it too when they have My Little Pony on their box and even try to recreat the MLP logo in some way, or when they use a recreation of MLP accessories.  I consider them fakies when they look different from MLP like Princess Rinse and Spit.

My friend Zejgar made a video about this, I think he has a point.

Omigosh I love your friend's video! and not just because I like the character and the robo-voice.  Zejgar's writing is simply inspired together with that synthetic voice.  "this might take a while" etc and the way his Filly looks at the viewer from time to time.

I also love the packaging for the knockoff "my happy horse" but the toy itself is somewhat lacking...such an outrageous rip-off yet somehow still desireable...

Does anyone know, do any of the common well-known fakies that might be their own thing, like Remcos in particular, have little backstory cards?

They're new, but the Merry Hooves certainly do.

Here is a picture of Luna with her background story. Its got nice artwork.

This is a photo of my daughter's Prince Patrick that shows all the ones you can get. There are  regular ponies and the winged ones are Fairy Ponies. They're flocked and detailed and have a nice weight. They're in blind boxes and come with tasty gummies.

Ah she's cute....only the name has been stolen is coincidentally the same, otherwise she's original.

Eh. Luna is an incredibly popular horse name. Its like Sarah or Michael in that aspect.

I've nicknamed mine Princess Dreamer. : :good:
