Wonder, if hqg1c can make a real MLP-like with such smiling eyes...

Princess Rinse n Spits are some of my favorite fakies, and I've been super lucky to finally get some recently.

Here's my green PRnS, who used to be blonde until I got her and all her hair rotted off  . I love her anyway and I'm super grateful that someone on my fakie discord server told me about the listing she was on  .

And here's my white "Wedding Pony" PRnS that I got off ebay recently and I'm super happy with. She even has her original wedding "dress" and brush.

Cross-posting this from my sales thread, as here people who are interested in them might find them easier

This Chap Mei fakie family is for sale - asking $10 for all (excl. shipping). I believe they are fakies of the fakies, as there are absolutely no markings on them, and their plastic is different from regular Chap Mei plastic. Still, they are lovely to look at, and could be a great addition to a Chap Mei collector's herd
They do have issues though: thinning hair (on all, but the blue baby has it the most bad - see pic), some wonky paint (on all), the babies' bodies are very thin plastic (especially the blue's), and the blue baby also has a head-body mismatch.

I salvaged as many Fakietopia pics as I could find.  Not nearly all of them :/

aww i love your yellow posie pose MGR pony and the little ones with saddles looking up

[Loona]

Aah, this album is so cool!

The ones I love the most are the TAF purple Lanard set - plus for personal reasons, the Lanard paints and the MGR babies - I had/have both of these from my childhood. I was also surprised and happy to see the "Glass Eyed Spunky" fakie - I just found her twin at a flea market last year, and couldn't leave all that sass behind! I took photos, but haven't got around to edit them, I'll try to sometime soon.

What I did manage to edit though, is a photo I took of my Lanards last weekend - I managed to gather them (minus a green knockoff girl who is MIA) for a family selfie-type of photo:

Lanard family portrait, 13/04/2020 by ~Loona~, on Flickr

The two paints are from my childhood, the blue-white one was among my all-time favourites. The white "teen" pony on the top left and the peach sitting baby fakie are knock-offs, the rest are original Lanards. It is interesting to compare the details, and it's funny how e.g. the fakie baby has more detail (painted hooves, tinsel) than the original sitting baby

Plus, here is this Chap Mei baby knockoff I found also sometime last year. I had Chap Mei babies in my childhood, but never a rearing one like this. I love this pose, and I also love the dark purple colour. She'll get a  replacement tail as soon as I find a good match.

is there any way to replace the soundbox part?  I've never had one of these guys and didn't want to rip the head off but I didn't see any way to just "change a battery" kind of situation so thanks for the heads up tutorial how this fakie works

[Snapdragon]

So many beautiful fakies! I'm so glad this thread is still going, makes me wanna photo my fakies some more!

I've seen people ask about this before. As the owner of a repaired Buddy L, I think I might write a little tutorial on changing their batteries. I'll post a link when I've done it.

Here you go: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,398536.new.html

[maycrestmom]

ah thanks for the tutorial!  I admit I should have clarified the kind of buddy-L I had

yeah, I am guessing I do need to remove this one's head as there is no saddle strap to remove in my case

thinking the holes were maybe for sound of some sort and then there is also a head-light part

They are adorable!  I'll try to find them on amazon UK. Which keywords should I use for the search? Or could you link the article itself?

[RoseNoire]

Restored a couple of fakies and they look really nice now. The big Cabbage Patch fakie's hair is dream-like.
