[Strawberry Swirl]

Here's my onion.

Knock off: Uses actual MLP assets, like molds or artwork.

Fakie: Same concept as MLP, as in funky colored horses with symbols on the hip(s), but is otherwise original.

Of course, then we have these things, which seem to be a mix of the two.

WOW, that second one's blatant O_O. I love the random G3.5 Pinkie and Sweetie Belle, lol.

Seems like a good rule of thumb to go by Carrehz.

I love those G4 mixed with G3.5; might be fake but so wonderful!  and the other is straight up "funny", haha as in...funny looking.

Speaking of fakies, here's one of my favorites.  It says Playmates on the bottom and it's luxuriously thick soft plastic and smells of vanilla.  I've never found another one, is it familiar to anyone?

I just washed it and re-styled it; had it sitting too close to other ponywashes and got all stippled up with cleanser, haha.  About the size of a regular G1.

I don't consider all ponies MLP fakies.  Only the ones that closely resemble My Little Products already made but are clearly knock offs.  If I see a pony with pretty brushable hair, but it's body is not MLP like, that is not a fakie.  It is just a pony toy.  I think the term fakie is over used.  That is just my opinion though.

Never seen one like that. How cute!

[lostpony]

I buy anything with four hooves sometimes including cows and once in a rare while even a pig.  Whether they're fakies or not, it's clear the market for fantasy-colored ponies, unicorns and pegasi with a cute mark on their flank has a lot of players in it.  How bout the big white unicorn plushes with a big pink heart flank symbol and pink hair?  Classic.

I bet everyone knows this one:

I have several of the ones like the blue one with the glass eyes Sapphire Rain posted above....they're still current I think and around here quite common.  SR's bottom one; I've seen a similar mold at ToysRus without packaging for $3.

Oh yes the vanilla one I posted above has removable little fluffy hoof-rings, they're less spiky when they aren't wet but I wanted to get a pic up right away...

I've got a Tara Toy fakie. Mine is white and blue.

That's a Strawberry Shortcake pony.  There are a few different ones in that style - I've come across several.

Edit: Foud this site with pictures of them: http://www.everythingblueberrymuffin.com/playmatesponies.html

Haha, oh wow it's been forever since I thought of Pineapplejack! I've always wanted one, but I'll bet they're crazy hard to find now.

[lostpony]

Oh thanks Breyer600!  lookit the outfits and accessories....no wonder it's such luxurious quality!

By definition, not a fakie.  Just a different toyline.  Along those lines, I really love of course the palace pet ponies and several others that are part of other toylines, which are not fakies but are really nice.

Just in case anyone didn't see these already:
