Things my eyes have seen on Taobao

I'm a bit tempted to order to see if it works.

These aren't new by any means, but it's interesting to see they've stuck around.

Rarity looks like she has an evil plan.

Since the thread got bumped, I did find Best Gift Ever blind boxes over for sale on Aliexpress. I've since ordered one, it will be interesting to see if there's anything wacky on the package.

What are those strange quadrupeds with paws and horns? Love the ferris wheel.

So then I had to go looking on taobao and I saw...

I mean, what??? What is the... or why do they have... I don't even know, but I think I need them lol!!!

I don't know what I'm looking at, but it's amazing!!

So I was also showing this in the fakie thread, but I got a new My Little Lony (fakie MLP / Lego) set:

I think I actually might want the My Little Lony. That castle is cool!

It also reminds me of things I used to do as a child. Lego became everything!!

[LadyMoondancer]

There's also a 2nd Lony castle that is smaller and cheaper.  (The big one cost $40, most of which was shipping from China to the US.  No regrets, lol.  The smaller castle would be closer to $25 including shipping I think.)

How well do the Lony sets stay together? My main issue with knockoff Lego is that it tends to have small connection points that end up brittle when handled.

[LadyMoondancer]

They stay together VERY well, they're really high quality.  Lots of pearlescent and translucent bricks, which always seemed extra cool to me as a kid, lol.  They also snap together perfectly with real Legos (same size.)

These are some in-progress shots of building the castle:

It comes with show jumps and a wishing well!

That looks really cute actually. Like belvilles.

[DreamvalleyMLP]

Oh wow, that Lony castle! Is that a knock off of an existing castle from a different brand?

[Galactica]

Wow love the castles and those weird animal-pony fakie things, lol

I love my "My Little Lony" lego ponies, they are well made and cute

I'm not sure!  I have been looking up various Disney Princess Lego and Lego "fairies" sets but haven't found that exact castle so far.

In other news . . . I finished the castle!!

I'm really impressed with the interior, because they could've just made it an empty shell but instead they have all these little details like "This is the kitchen.  This is the great dining hall. This is the treasure room.  This is the bottle of booze next to your bed."

That castle is surprisingly intricate!
I found something a bit weird. Patches of Patch from tales, but she's a Rainbow Dash vector:

I'd totally order it, but you can only buy it in lots of 20 for $11, and I doubt anyone would be that interested in me selling the extras.

These aren't new by any means, but it's interesting to see they've stuck around. There are a few listings, but this one's almost 30 dollars.

I still think that their Fluttershy cosplaying Link is pretty cute, it makes me wonder where they got the idea in the first place. Probably DeviantART or something.

That image is made by Aquatic Neon, he was a part of the local pony collecting group up here in MN for the longest time. I wonder if he knows that his images are being taken and used by these people who make knock off products...
