BB Fakie General

[Violet CLM]

Because I don't think there's been any thorough cataloging of these little darlings.

These are probably the most common... they're mostly on AliExpress, but occasionally you'll see them on Taobao or eBay. They're the only ones that seem to have cutie marks, and they come mostly in two molds, Rarity and Rainbow Dash. The colors vary a little more than in that photo... Rainbow Dash comes in four different colors that I've seen (pink, purple, aqua, white), and Rarity in three (pink, aqua, yellow). There's also an aqua Twilight that goes with these, a pink Pinkie Pie, and very occasional Applejack sightings. Their paint quality... varies.

This set only turned up the once that I remember, and it's pretty similar to the last. This time there are no cutie marks, the color palette is a little more varied, and there's Applejack.

These are the high end of fakies... they have a very wide color palette, a whole lot of different molds, and they're actually packaged! Kamisha found them in Poland, and they didn't turn up online for a long while after that. (Full disclosure, I now have quite a few extra figs in this style, though without the brilliant packaging, and am looking to sell them.)

The newest arrivals to the scene, and seemingly the only ones that use the official molds (logo and all) and paint (not glossy). Sold in multiples of seven. Apart from the lack of cutie marks (and the overly shiny plastic/paint), these are the closest to the real thing. If anything, some of them (pink+white Twilight, red+yellow Big Mac) are so close to real figures that they're less interesting than if they had more garish color schemes.

Same make as the previous set, but with the molds and colors redistributed. Only ever showed up once, which is weird, because look how cool that black Twilight is.

Yet another redistribution of colors wrt/ molds, found by 3377345.

The text one the box set is cracking me up!

[Galactica]

The text is rather amusing.... "AND THIS IS MY LITTLE PONY!"  With Pinkie smiling like that- you KNOW she is lying !!!

[Bergamot]

FUN Interesting

[achab1984]

Those are some very good fakies! And that saying sure if funny on the box!

I love the black Twilight! I've got a yellow Applejack with pink hair and the proper cutie mark at home, and a few others.

[Kaeldre]

I have a mighty need to acquire the black ones and that blue Gilda. o.o

[hathorcat]

The black on in the last picture I love!

Really interesting to see them all complied together like this. Thanks!

I have the first set, but none of the others. They're pretty neat!

"AND THIS IS MY LITTLE PONY" and then the entire earth shook at the sheer blatency of that lie.

It's nice to see these charmingly faulted chunks of pony have been recorded in the name of posterity.

My order of the penultimate pic came in, the ones with the black and blue Pinkie Pies. Noteworthy details:

• The black and purple Pinkie Pie, contrary to my expectations, doesn't use the same paint as the Nightmare Moon figure. NM's black is bluer and her purple is lighter.
• The paint isn't super-glossy like the top bunch. It has the same look and feel as real blind bags.
• They definitely appear to be using the genuine Hasbro molds for these. The bottoms of the feet have the My Little Pony logo, the copyright information, numbers, and a hole, just like the real deal.

The paint jobs are not quite perfect, but not outside the realm of normal variation... if they only had cutie marks, you'd have no trouble passing them off as the real thing.

Hmmm...that's rather worrying :/ Speaking as someone who likes buying genuine Hasbro oddity blind bags. Are they all one piece, or are the head and body separately molded?

[Violet CLM]

Separate.

Here's another set of five, which are apparently sold in packages along with the larger fakies:

And I guess these are the latest evolution of the first set, given the poor paint quality and questionable color choices:
