Amazing find !! : 80's(?) metal pins + fakies +G3s NEED ID plz<3
« on: February 25, 2018, 07:57:51 AM »
Hi everyone !

Well, I just came back from a flea market and I have to show you these !
They are metal pins and by looking at the design, they're probably from the 80's. It's a pony head with a rainbow over it where it's written "Mon Petit Poney (tm)", colorless. I got them from a pins collector, I talked to him for a while, told me he probably got them in a lot. He had various horse related pins and I was about to leave when at the last minute, he noticed those two among his many pins. I was so happy to get them, I didn't know their existence, do you ?? I bought them for 5€ and it was so worth it. *-*

And here are all my new ponies in one pic :

Whole new squad
G3 Scootaloo and Meadowbrook. Meadow has a huge marker patch on her NDS and Scoot has her tail cut and a yellowing at the base of it. Doesn't seems like tail rust but I shall investigate.

More details about them :

I got Meadowbrook as well as those two fakies for 1€ in total. They look like G1 Sweetheart sisters or G1 Color Swirls to me. They are nice But they got nasty tails ew. :rofl:
Meadowbrook had a G3 yellow pendant on her.

(Well, only her back in detail, look at that nasty sunburn. :lol: Hope I can get this marker off easily.

And I finally bought those two hard plastic fakies for 0.20€ each. They are so cute. Help me, Fakies are growing on me, I won't survive with this pony overload. D= :lol:

Oddly enough, the yellow one doesn't have eyelashes.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hope you love my new additions as much as me. =D I'd really like to know where those pins come from as well as the G3 pendant, just for my information. And do you think the two big fakies are based on G1 molds ?

Have a great day !

Congrats on the finds, the yellow tiny pony thing is a gen 3 charm, I have a few of them.  The hard plastic ones I want to say are of the pony luv line, or a party favor type I cant think of the name.

Wow! Congratulations! Those are amazing finds! I especially love the pins  ^.^ Maybe the brown stuff in the fakies’ tails is an old elastic band?

That yellow fakie definately looks like one of the SS molds. Same pose and head. The white one's bend-o legs kinda spooks me tho.
Those pins are really cool, never seen them before! What a great haul at a great price!

Yay, thanks everyone.
Yup, the yellow one is strikingly like the SSs.
I've looked on the wiki and the yellow charm seems to be the second version of Sparkleworks'. ^^

The yellow charm could also possibly belong to Meadowbrook, as mine has a yellow charm on her. The second sparkleworks charm I have is quite orange ^.^
Hope this helps  ^.^

Thanks everyone, Indeed that's really sweet. =)
Yes, maybe it's Meadow's but I have no proof of it. But indeed, on the wiki, Sparkleworks' charms has more of an orange hue, but I wasn't sure if it was because of the camera or its actual color.
I guess I took a detailed pic of a new charm to reference ?

I have one of those metal pins too! I found it on Ebay, they're pretty cool! I'd love to hear more if anyone knows their origin story...

Same here, that would be so nice. I guess there's more chance to find out more about them if we ask people from France.
