Title: Things my eyes have seen on Taobao
Post by: LadyMoondancer on February 03, 2018, 06:10:40 PM
I didn't get Holly Dash, but I did score a fakie of her.  :P  To my surprise, she turned out to be Fashion Styling size!

"My Little Horse."  Amazing.

Her hair is, ehhh, not the best.  But not total garbage.  There is only one row of hair plugs in her mane, which is disappointing.  (Real FS ponies have four rows.)  Also her tail is the typical "hair plugs in the butt" fakie style.

The interesting thing to me is that they were clearly trying to mimic Holly Dash's actual colors, even if they didn't quite hit the mark.

If anyone is interested in her, here's a link to her. (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=559289266653)  (Am assuming it's okay to post since that's a merchandise site like Amazon, not an auction site?) She's pretty cute, really.

Haha, she's kind of cute! x3  She's actually not half bad -- better than I would have thought!

Fascinating fakies...

Post by: Taffeta on February 04, 2018, 08:14:48 AM
I think it's the randomness of choosing her design, out of all the better known designs, and out of all the names written on the box...

I remember my sister mentioning seeing a pony-image-branded fakie in...maybe Malaysia called 'My Lovely Horse'. It inspired a lot of jokes about the Father Ted sitcom (which may only be appreciated by British or Irish arena people, but anyhow). I haven't seen this one before though xD the box is very blatant.

I spend a LOT of time looking up weird stuff on Taobao.

Speaking of, did you know ponies hatch from eggs?

Whoa, that's some impressively long hair on Not-Holly!

My new Fluttershy FS has only 2 rows of hair plugs :( So sadly the one row is not too far off how things are at the moment...
Title: Re: Things my eyes have seen on Taobao
Post by: Taffeta on February 13, 2018, 12:54:57 AM
That baby glory...omg. That is so weird and yet so cute at the same time. Those eyes O.O Please share more weird like this :)

Also Not Holly looks better now you've done her hair. I admit I still find the purple kind of jarring with her symbol but her actual colour is pretty weird as well.  Her hair colours with the purple body actually go nicely. She looks like a cross between Holly and Luna. Holluna? O.o.

Well, this might be a special one for ponies with wings and horn. Because the G1 comic says baby ponies come out of magic mirrors. And I think Baby Glory is one of them xD

Wasn't there a G1 colouring book (I think it was Italian?) that showed baby ponies hatching out of eggs? So there is a precedent :D
The ways of pony reproduction are strange.

ROFL!!!!!! :lmao:  :lmao:  :lmao:  :lmao:  oh my goodness that thing is creepy and hilarious all at the same time  :lmao:  :lmao:  :lmao:

As regards um.. how ponies reproduce I think Hasbro has been a little confused over the years. I mean... in the early days we heard they come from magic mirrors,  or they hatch out of eggs
(... so I guess Surprise Twins Mommy had a real surprise when she actually you know... gave birth :lmao:  :lmao:  :lmao:  ..or sort of anyways.. *hits button* *hear clacking noise*  *pony belly opens*  It's twiiiiins!!!!! :lmao:  )
Hasbro then confirmed that actually ponies are born/reproduced in the er.. normal way when the question was asked again more recently with FIM ... so ... maybe they thought we were finally old enough to know the truth about where babies come from by the time we got G4  :snicker:
The fakie manufacturers have yet to catch up I think *eyes fakie baby in egg*  :lol:

I what... how...how does this happen? Who made them?

There's a law in China that says factory workers can take things/materials out of factory garbage bins for free and resell/reuse them.  If you look carefully at the blindbags you can see that they're not all cast in one piece.  Weirdly the heads and manes are separate pieces stuck together later.  What I'm guessing happened here is that someone scored a bunch of badly cast pony pieces, picked out the best bits, stuck 'em together randomly and called it good.   Or some bootlegger made heads and bodies out of whatever scrap plastics they had and just sorted 'em out later.

Or the heads and bodies are connected by machine and something got way out of order.... way out.

Either way they're hilarious!

And for my purposes fine for bait ponies.

Wooow, that explains a lot!  Not just about these, but also about other less than perfect items I see on Taobao!

Meanwhile--this isn't MLP but I had to share it anyway.

You know, I saw "My Lovely Horsey" in a store today in town and I thought of this thread.

They were very large and looked like Twilight and Cadence rip offs.

I really love Deformation Pleasure. That's just amazing. It actually might be the new mascot of my university. After all, that is pretty much the approach they take to racism. :) Just usually with paint, rather than weapons.

As for the heads...good for customising I guess?

For the record, Mexican jem dolls (hybrids anyway) can look a bit like that. Heads get stuck on random bodies sometimes. I also have a Mexican hybrid Shana who has caucasian hands. Mexican hands are so delicate they break if you even look at them wrong, so it's really unlikely anyone switched them. They'd have broken ><

Post by: LadyMoondancer on March 14, 2018, 09:42:06 AM
I think Deformation Pleasure would make a fine mascot for any university!  When I saw his motto I was like, "Well, he's not wrong."

What I love the most is that, against all odds, this bootleg manufacturer came up with a sentence that is grammatically correct and even has some gravitas (I especially love the commas, really gives it some heft), yet used it in a context that makes no sense:  as the tagline of a robot tank that shoots missiles from his abs.  :P

But anyway, moving on from the pleasure of deformation, I had forgotten I found this until it popped back up on my Tumblr feed.  I admit I am proud of spotting this one.

The artist had no idea it existed until I contacted them.  So not a commission.  Just a bootleg company being weird.

Incidentally he is not, uh, NSFW.  His intended use seems to be as a balloon mascot type thing.  Although that company does make NSFW balloon critters too.  Including a Princess Luna who I will not be posting a picture of, but just know that I was traumatized.  Also some Pokemon.  Just . . . really?  Lugia with boobs??  WHO ASKED FOR THAT?

Edit:  To give an idea of scale, here's a picture of their Rainbow Dash balloon mascot with a lady standing next to it.

I showed Deformation Pleasure to my Taiwanese friend who also finds it hilarious but told me that the Chinese text has little resemblance to the English. I can make out a few characters here and there because they're the same in Japanese but a lot of them are different...in any case,  there is nothing to do with racism in the Chinese text xD.

I ordered both (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LJT-3D-Cartoon-Printing-Unicorn-Shape-Kids-Shoulder-Bag-Cartoon-Mini-Cute-School-Bag-Children-Handbag/32851295709.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.QHFyN3) of them (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LJT-New-3D-Cartoon-Printing-Unicorn-Shape-Kids-School-Bags-For-Girls-Boys-Backpack-Children-PU/32849496940.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.QHFyN3) off of Aliexpress (for around 150% the price on Tao) and I am ever grateful for Moschino bootlegs.

Oh thank you!  They are so cute!!!!

i was thinking of getting the Glory version of that backpack, but I wasn't sure if it was one of those items that was banned from export.
Their warehouse once banned my $2 order of chopstick rests saying it was contraband >.<

WOOOOOOW, it's . . . it's so unique!  :biggrin:

Yeah, Aliexpress is definitely easier to order from, and probably not even much more expensive.  I'm really glad for the link because I hadn't found it there.  If anyone finds Concerned Fakies on Aliexpress or Taobao pleeeease let me know!  So far I have  only found them on the 'retail ordering' site Alibaba Express where you have to order, like, 300 cases or something crazy like that.

That said, today's fakie does come to use from Alibaba Express . . .

Yes, a G3 pony, Barbie fakie, and Kelly fakie make for a sort of odd set, but it's really the packaging that puts this one on my favorites list. 

"Lucy come to the amusement park together with aliee and white horse," Barbie thinks to herself.  (Or maybe she is Aliee, and she thinks of herself in the third person?) 

Pictured on the back:  'white horse' Desert Rose, ripped from Hasbro's old G3 'sticker' website (remember that game?).  Not included in the actual toys:  a white horse.  Man, Lucy is going to be sooo disappointed when she sees she has to hang out with that loser PINK horse.

But for now she is unaware of this sad turn of events and jauntily says, "Let go, my good fellow."

The other great thing about this package is the castle drawn on the back.  Does it look familiar?

WOW, DEM EYES!  The funny thing is the blue one is what I usually think of "the squinty-eyed fakie" because her eyes are abnormally small . . .  I guess she got that corrected in the most dramatic way.

FiddlePhan, I've seen the fakie tubes.  The most amazing way I've ever seen fakies packaged. :P

I bought some fakies because how could I resist something called MY LITTLE LONY?

visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 visitors can't see pics , please register or login


(Or possibly My Little Bony.  But I think My Little Lony sounds funnier, so . . .)

They're G4 blindbag bootlegs, but I could tell from the pictures that they were hard plastic and hollowed out.  So I was expecting them to be low quality and kind of random.  Like a kind of "Hey, these two toys are popular, toss them together" attitude on the part of the fakie company.  Like when you see random stuff like a bootleg Darth Vader packaged with bootleg Pikachu (https://youtu.be/4WLdE10DNbc).

But as it turns out, I misjudged the Lonies and the company who makes them, SY.  It seems that SY specializes in *cough cough* unlicensed Lego-compatible figures.  Both the building blocks and the ponies are high quality, and the ponies have been remolded so that their hooves have holes on the bottom compatible with Legos!

^ Applejack has . . . grown wings . . . and is the only member of the Mane Six in the line.  The others are based on various blind bag ponies like Cherry Spices, Merry May, etc.

I definitely recommend these to anyone who likes MLP and Legos, especially since they're quite cheap on Taobao.  (Search for SY682 and SY788 to find them.  I bought eight small sets + four deluxe sets for, like, $10.)

I've never used Taobao. I used your key search code and see so many listings for what appear to be the same set of ponies (lonies) for different prices. I just wanted the white one but it looks complicated and my phone won't load a translation.
Title: Re: Things my eyes have seen on Taobao
Post by: LadyMoondancer on May 23, 2018, 08:14:01 AM
Taobao can be very confusing!  It's essentially like eBay, so each lot at a different price is from a different seller.  Most of them are selling the entire set (either the 8 small Lony sets or the 4 larger sets.)  But if you see someone selling them for 10 yuan, I believe that person is selling the larger sets individually.  (10 yuan is like $1.50 USD.)

I use BaseTao (a broker) to actually buy things from Taobao because a lot of sellers won't ship overseas.  So everything gets sent to the brokers, who then send it to me.

Hope that helps.  Also I'm going to run a giveaway for some Lonies on my Tumblr in a bit.  :)

The white pony is based on blind bag Sugar Grape, who happens to be one of my favorite blind bags!

Google says 10 yen is about $1.57 USD. Is shipping often free if it's from China? Super Grape is pretty cool. Blind bag ponies can be cool, I just don't like paying that much for a pony I may or may not want.

Title: Re: Things my eyes have seen on Taobao
Post by: LadyMoondancer on May 23, 2018, 09:55:58 AM
Yeah, you would have to pay shipping.

Another possibility would be to buy them off Aliexpress.com . Aliexpress is in English and most sellers will ship to the US.

This seller (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DR-TONG-8PCS-LOT-SY682-Super-Heroes-My-Little-Horse-Anna-Elsa-Princess-Girl-Toys-Bricks/32849238815.html) is selling all eight of the small sets, including Sugar Grape, for $5.78 + 2.35 shipping to the US.  :)

The four deluxe sets (like the abandoned doorway etc) have the same ponies as the small sets.  So if you are primarily interested in the pony pieces, you can get all of them by getting the small sets.

For fun, I tried to figure out which blind bag each pony was based on.  Some are not an exact match as pegasus Applejack shows, LOL!  All pics are from Strawberry Reef's blind bag page (http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/IndexBB.html).

I love how they tried to make themselves sound legitimate by describing how Hasbro was "fattened on Monopoly", but I REALLY love Princess Luna's sour expression at being packaged with Tall Dash.

I would gladly order some for people, but honestly it would be cheaper just to order them off AliExpress because you wouldn't have to pay shipping from me to you!

AliExpress is in English, unlike Taobao.  This seller is selling the 8 small sets (i.e. not the "doorway" sets) for, like, $6.  ($6 for all eight sets I think.)

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DR-TONG-8PCS-LOT-SY682-Super-Heroes-My-Little-Horse-Anna-Elsa-Princess-Girl-Toys-Bricks/32849238815.html

If you are mainly after the not-Lego ponies, that is the cheapest way to get all of them.  (The four ponies in the doorway sets are also in the smaller sets.)

Yeah I was wanting the bigger sets as well XD I like the look of the doorway she is in. <-- meant to say AJ but I looked again at your other pictures and I like their structures too!

I think I'll make an account there (on AliExpress), do you have one on that site as well?

They are my favorites too, I looove all the little structures, especially Applejack's garden hideaway and Lulu Luck's miniature castle.

Unfortunately I haven't seen the doorway sets on Ali Express (but they are probably on there somewhere.) Otherwise I can try to figure out how much it would cost to get a set on Taobao for you.  Would you be interested in all of them?  There are four 'doorways' in all, the abandoned mine with Sugar Grape, Amethyst Star's castle, Lulu Luck's castle, and Applejack's grove.

That "Fransfortegers" shirt is golden, too!

Also I totally thought My Little Lony was a nickname given to those ponies because they're Lego Ponies, I thought you combined the two to make them Lony, but no, it really is, even on the packaging! That is absolutely hilarious!
I'm not kept up to date with G4 a whole lot- are the Lonies strictly bootleg or are they stolen molds from real Lego Ponies?

Yes, the "My Little Lony" packaging was what initially attracted me to them.  :P  How lazy (yet brilliant) to simply turn the "P" upside down and rework it a little, lol.

But yeah, the actual figures are really nice!  They are bootlegs of the G4 blind bag ponies; I need to do a side by side comparison of them at some point.  They actually have symbols on both sides which is more than the real blind bags have, lol.

These are based on a Moschino mini backpack:

But IMO they're better because I'd rather have a rainbow than the Moschino logo, lol.  Plus they come in three colors!

Here are the two I got:

I'm very happy with them, the quality is excellent.  The stars / Starflower pony are embroidered on and the backpack material has a nice shine.  The pink / blue / green colors hit me right in the nostalgia.  I had a set of three heart bracelets that were those EXACT colors.

I got mine on Taobao (https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.179.16451f09XGYPBc&id=562741565246&ns=1&abbucket=1#detail) but it's also available on Aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Top-Sell-Embroidery-Rainbow-Pony-Backpack-Cute-Women-Silver-Hologram-Baobao-Backpack-School-Bags-For-Girls/32847469882.html) (but more expensive there than Taobao.)  Either one is much cheaper than the 'original' which cost $800+!

These are based on a Moschino mini backpack:

But IMO they're better because I'd rather have a rainbow than the Moschino logo, lol.  Plus they come in three colors!

Although they are more expensive.  (About $40 on Taobao whereas the pink/green/blue ones are about $17 on Taobao.)  They may get cheaper as more sellers pick them up.

Now, I will say these ponies are . . . not the best quality.  Even compared to the previously seen (blue) Concerned Pony set.  I have trouble making the ones with the bent leg stand up.  But on the other hand these are still the only Concerned Pony sets I've been able to find for sale and they're less than $2 each.

There are four sets in all, and they send random sets.

I ordered four and I got two of the small pink Repulsed Fakie / large blue Happy Fakie set, one of the Concerned pony set, and one of the small blue Happy Fakie / large yellow Crazy Eyes set.

I didn't get any of the fourth set, which is this one:

That said, I did subsequently order two more sets (to use for giveaways) and I asked the BaseTao people (who order stuff from Taobao for me) to specifically ask the seller to send two Concerned fakie set, and they did.  I recommend sending BaseTao (or whoever) a picture of the set you want if you go that route.  The language barrier was definitely an issue.  They were confused even after I said "the set with the small yellow pony and large purple pony".  But once I sent a photo and said "I want two of THIS set", they got it.

I know, right?  When I ordered these sets I kind of assumed the larger ponies were 'regular' G4 size and the smaller ponies were tiny.  But yeah, they're almost G1 size.  I'll bet they could wear some G1 / G3 ponywear.

Also, the lareg ponies in these sets actually are pretty good (for a fakie) quality.  The small ponies, though, have body made of SUPER cheap squishy plastic.  Their heads are made of higher quality heavier plastic--which is partly why they have trouble standing!  But the large purple Concerned Pony is actually pretty good quality.

I forgot to post the other sides of the box before, but here they are:

I think for these kind people mostly buy them online from sites such as these. I haven't found any fakies like this in the wild myself, but I have found all sorts of other fakies locally in thrift stores. Thrift stores are a great way to find fakies if you're looking for anything, but for Concerned Ponies you're gonna have to search online mostly, such as the link posted here.

I think I might have to try and order a concerned fakie now too, I love how big the recent ones are! It's kind of sad I've been way more interested in knock off products rather than the real thing lately. There's more creativity and variety in fakies now than there are with the mane 6

On the shipping prices, hard to say because I usually wait until I get a bunch of stuff and have it shipped all at once.  Also usually you can ask the shipper to discard the packaging if you don't want it, which lowers the shipping cost a lot.

Wow, those chibi ponies are adorable!

Yeah, Holly Dash sold out pretty quickly . . . I think the Rainbow Power ponies there are likely to be legit, I think they're old stock.  :)

Yes, they're somewhat recent. People have found them at Target and (formerly) TRU. The picture here seems to be the legit product.

Here are mine:

I am super hopeful of finding more loose Holly Dashes in the second hand market in the next year or so. I already picked up one double in April so there must be more waiting to surface...

Here's one for Holly Dash:

But she appears to be loose, and IMO that's a bit steep for a loose Holly Dash.  Like, I feel like you can get one off eBay for cheaper.

Wow look at these cute fakies!  They are the super-hero ponies, only all on little fakie bodies with bow-ties-  the crazy thing is that they are all painted up like the originals- I think they are really short? But can't really get a sense of them...

I'm not a big user of Taobao (because my browser seems unable to translate it and I'm kind of out of luck it seems when it comes to ordering from there), so does the 68yuan part being crossed out mean she's still sold out?


Also I love those fakies you posted, Galactica! I wish places that were notorious for fakies like dollar stores and such would have more variety like that! All I've ever found are scary G3.5 fakies and some cute mini G3 ones.

I gotta say, she's a pretty cool toy!  She's made of hard plastic and it feels nice and sturdy.

I found the "Nightmare" alicorns on Aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/My-little-horses-action-figure-anime-figure-toys-for-children-ponies-toys-lovely-Unicorn-light-and/32909850344.html) for just $9 so I ordered Nightmare Fluttershy.  (No packaging on this gal, but that keeps the price low.  Although I would've loved that Executive Director of the Universe packaging . . .)

I gotta say, she's a pretty cool toy!  She's made of hard plastic and it feels nice and sturdy.


And as for her light and sound feature . . .

Well, that happened.

Wow she looks great!  The song though-  HILARIOUS!  I'm glad Nightmare Fluttershy is so cheerful :D

It does have a line about how she "became a princess overnight" so I guess it sort of fits?  But I wonder when Fluttershy changed her name to Sofia the First . . . :P

I have to admit they look kinda cool. Especially AJ with her brown armor. Did Hasbro ever make a Nightmare Moon or Celestia with articulated legs?
Title: Re: Things my eyes have seen on Taobao
Post by: LadyMoondancer on September 26, 2018, 03:17:34 PM
Not as far as I can tell!  I was looking at MLP Merch, which is usually quite complete on G4 ponies, but I couldn't find any.

As near as I can tell, they blew up the 'standard' size brushable Celestia / NMM pose and added the articulation and sounds / lights.  Or maybe she is based on the larger talking Nightmare Moon, but the way her wings are attached make me think the smaller NMM is more likely.

I like Applejack too and I also like the contrast of the dark blue armor on Rainbow Dash.

Nightmare AJ doesn't seem to have a symbol? Otherwise cool. I like how the listing says to use the batteries that work with Hexbug instead of an actual battery size.

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.
Title: Re: Things my eyes have seen on Taobao
Post by: LadyMoondancer on December 31, 2018, 02:24:33 PM
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:

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."  :P

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...

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.

Nice find!  That same seller (I think) is on Taobao!  As far as I can tell the Strawberry Reef is a legit MLP.  I think she's overstock . . . unused or unwanted leftovers from the factory.  They mentioned that her head is unglued, so she'd be a good candidate for customizing, LOL.  G3 glue can be sooo strong.

They also have, like, 600 glittery Gummis which I also think are legit.  (From a Amazon exclusive Gummi and Pinkie set.)

I really adore the design of the wings on these. I'm very tempted to use them as inspiration of how I draw flutter ponies.
Also Celie looks really cool with that armor.

Huh, that's interesting. I'll message them and ask if they have any more of those ponies.

I've bought from that seller before, Freezes. I got my Sandbar from them as I couldn't find one in person, and yeah, they must sell factory overstock or something because he is legit. That same seller also has some LPS, so I'd imagine they get a lot of Hasbro business.

Where can I buy these and how much?!

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 keep almost buying them but the holes in their neck bother me-  also I keep stopping myself:

Self:  HEY don't get those, you don't have room
Me:    BUT THEY ARE AWESOME
Self:  Okay you have a place you want to display them ??
Me:   Um.... no, but they are AWESOME!
Self:  Okay but recall those several tubs of ponies in the basement just hanging out? also plenty of awesome stuff in there right?
Me:   Um...  >_<

Did everyone get their fill of worried pony and crazy eye ponies?  I think I bought mine in sets- but it seems they are "top sellers" and sold individually now.

I found a bunch of pony shirts on Taobao, which I'm very tempted to buy, except trying to guess the right size is suuuch a crapshoot.  Not sure if these are bootlegs.  What makes me think they may not be is they claim to be licensed from Hasbro for MLP, Mr. Potato Head, and Monopoly--and indeed, they have Monopoly / Potato Head shirts as well.  And to be honest, I think most bootleggers would not think of a Monopoly bootleg shirt on their own.  But who knows . . .

The two unicorns - Windy and Moonstone - that image is on a shirt that is over here and is licensed...so it is probable that most of the images are but whether these shirts are...

Sweet Life is also bootleg lovehearts xD.

Hmmm, those top designs look legit- but not the last one.  And not the second to last where the candy obscures part of what the shirt says (unless I'm seeing it wrong).

I kinda love Engrish shirts- the wackier the better

Daisy Sweet is on one of the Wanaccessory shirts or backpacks with the text "Messy hair, don't care" . . . The messy hair context makes sense why they picked a Perfume Puff, ha ha.

Here's a link to most of the shirts (https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.341.792f6f26ws7bPT&id=594286736961&ns=1&abbucket=5&sku_properties=1627207:5396325819), including the Treacle one.

Be careful with Aliexpress - I only ever bought one shirt from there, so this may not be a general thing, but the single shirt I bought from there (anime, not MPL) came with a print that came partially off and got bubbly on its very first low-temperature quick wash in the washing machine. When I opened a dispute, the seller told me I shouldn't have put it in a washing machine, these prints are for hand wash in cold water. This was never mentioned in the listing, and having known this I wouldn't have bought the shirt. I got my money back, but I wish I could have a shirt with that pattern properly printed on instead :(

I hope these aren't like that though. That black Unicorn one (with the rainbow tag!!4! That's such a nice feature) looks totally cool, and I'm saying this with an almost 100% monochrome wardrobe. I think I could totally wear that, I wish the style was different though, I really dislike loose, oversize (and cropped - though probably these aren't cropped) shirts.

I was totally going to buy one of those Demon Donkey looking Moondancers, but they are $7 which seems rather steep for such a wonky fakie...

Someone near me is selling all 8 mini sets of My Little Lony for  $20. Worth it?

The gifts of the Lony were never meant to be priced monetarily by mortal hands.
You don't have to pay shipping though, might be fun to set up.

agree the moondancer knock-offs are cute!!

and are the loney's those lego ponies??

That to me seems reasonable

but as to the more variants of the mane-6 in different poses - just why oh why??? There were just so many background characters that could have come to life in the toyline for so much more fun with those playsets IMO... just why they didn't do more background characters like in the G3 days I will never understand (yeah I am admitted old-school fan-biased before the days of a core-anything)

On a side note, *I NEED THAT HOLLY DASH FS FAKIE!*.

I absolutely love her!!!  She’s probably impossible to find now though....right?
