Title: Thrift Haul- Lotta g4 pones!
Post by: Mana Minori on July 11, 2018, 08:54:15 PM
I had gone to the thrift store today, hoping to find some non g4's (I have way too many!), or at least the g4's that I found earlier in the week (one being Dewdrop Dazzle. and the other being Ploomette (I think. I forgot what she looked like))

Instead, I found a whoooole lottta g4's- Mc Donald's toys and blindbags, mostly. Lotta fakies, too. I managed to settle on a bag that had two 6 inch Fashion Boutique Pinkie Pies- one with a pink/ black/ white streaked mane and tri-colored glitter cutie mark, and the other with her normal mane and a pink/black/ white cutie mark. Also, a pink fakie that I have no idea what to do with.

Cool! Why not christen the Fakie into being a pony? I’m sure there’s some sort of ritual to do that.

Never saw those pinkie pies before, not even in stores! Congrats!!
With the pink fakie, you could always: clean it up, and display her like a normal pony, you could steal her hair and use it for replacement hair if you find a bald real pony, you could customize and repaint her, steal her head if you find a headless G3 pony (Like I did with my Spring Fever who came wo me from an Ebay lot with no head at all), you can do a lot of things with fakies!

That makes sense they're target exclusive. We don't have a target close to me. ^^"

the pink fakie appears to be from Walmart. I bought one just like it for $1 there to practice rehairing.

a lot of fakies arent all that attractive to me, to be honest (Takaras, and ones that look more similar to actual MLP merch, like Taobao fakies are an exception) So I'm iffy about displaying her near the officials. She'll just seem like she sticks out like a sore thumb. I'll play around with customizing her and see how she winds up looking, I guess.

Wow.  Two target exclusives at a thrift store.  That was a really lucky find. I'm glad you took the fakie too.  She can maybe join your herd as a mascot :lovey:

haha, yeah. I really have too many Pinkie Pie's, too many g4's, and am trying to put my ponies into storage, but I couldn't resist. I'm weak. (and I always felt bummed about finding a Botique3 inch brushable Pinkie a while back and letting her slip away by not getting her. I guess good things really do come to those who wait)

hmm. We'll see what's in store for the fakie.
