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


It seems to be a knock off of the Lego Cinderella castle, I recognised it because I just put the set together for my daughter!

Ohhh, yes, that's definitely the same castle in different colors! 

This isn't pony, but I'm very pleased by my latest Taobao find.  I ordered, like, six. :P

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...
Likely not. When art shows up on knock off products on Taobao and such the original artist generally doesn't know... especially if it's older stuff.

Just making a guess from the characters, but that says something like "Frozen Lord". The first two characters are frozen and snow, and the second two characters, at least in Japanese are the suffix for a noble lord and the character for master. So I'm guessing it's something like that, which surely indicates...the Snow Queen? Which means Elsa's changed rather since the last time I saw her. And her colour scheme. And such...

The package art actually makes me laugh so much more than the toy.

And you know, it's not complete without a hero watch. Everyone needs a hero watch.

I was searching Ali to see if I could use the site I'm more familiar with instead of a Tao agent for the fakies. How much is shipping from China to here for the fakies?
Also, some new pop ups on Ali:

Fakes of the WeLoveFine chibi models from a year or two back sans RD. $13 for all five. I think there's a few listings of these floating around.

A...er, contact lense case? Ft G3.5 Pinkie. So DIY, you don't have to put it together.
Intl exclusive Rainbow Powers? This is mostly for me, I'm going to order one of these as a test! It seems like everyone caught wind of the Holly Dash, so she's all sold out.

I bought the we love fine ones and rwo tails were broken off but easily glued back and they are cute! Worth 10$ if you like g4

I've been seeing a new kind of alicorn fakie recently and I really dig their wings and poseable legs.  Also they are all in a Nightmare Moon mold so they have helmets.

They are on Aliexpress (without the packaging though):

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32909850344.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.63134c4dWeRqWd

I bought the Fluttershy one and she plays a Sophia the First music clip, lol.  But she looks awesome.

I spotted this bootleg recently and I kind of love it . . .

To my knowledge, that Jessie may be legit. There has been similar Woody's and stuff released.

Oh, interesting!  That makes sense . . . The design is so appropriate that it does seem to have more thought put into it than the average bootleg!

This Jessie may be leftover stock, a prototype or a sample.

Jessie looks happy to be there and Rex looks . . . unsure.  :P  Very in-character.

So here's a bootleg that looks pretty good (I'm really digging gold Celestia) but mostly I just love the logo / name.

And ALSO!!  I bought this big fakie set a while ago:

It contained:  bootleg of the G4 Rainbow Friendship castle (poor quality, pieces kept popping off), shrunk down bootleg of the Sugarcube Corner sweetshop (too tiny for any pony to fit through), bootleg of the G4 train (pretty good quality), and for some reason a bootleg of a P.O.P. pony (the ones you can switch parts on).

But ALSO it had some great packaging:
