Title: G3 ponyville bootleg playsets
Post by: LadyMoondancer on November 17, 2017, 10:57:54 AM
I just spotted these on Taobao.  They honestly look pretty good for fakies--assuming the real product matches the pictures and assuming people don't mind having "My Buddy Pony" on all the stickers. :P

I love how obvious the use of ripped-off G4 graphics makes it that these are counterfeit

Is it being marketed as the most dangerous roller coaster ever? Don't ride it, Punkie Pie!

"Completely newto come into the market" Well, since you put it THAT way, yes, yes it is.

I sort of wanna buy this because it would be interesting to display blind bag figures on.

I think they're super cute. Where are they showing up at again?

I love how bootleg packaging has those awkwardly-translated-into-English phrases.
It tickles me...
I notice it on ebay too, I often see toys being described as "noble"  :bubble:

I saw them on Taobao.  If anyone is interested you can PM me for a link, or go to my Tumblr and search for "fakie", there's a link in the post I made about them.  (My Tumblr link is in my signature.)

I used Google Translate for the page since it's mostly in Chinese, and the prices are in Chinese yuan(?).  I believe the most expensive set is about $30, plus shipping.  Shipping from China to the US is usually not to bad due to a special deal China made with the US.  (Which is why you see so many eBay auctions from China with free shipping.)

I love how bootleg packaging has those awkwardly-translated-into-English phrases.

I love it too!  With Transformers knock off they usually get "deformation" in their name somewhere.  :P

Ultimately, it would probably be best to just track down the real Ponyville sets as opposed to buying these fakie sets. They're pretty common while thrifting, at least in my experience. I'm pretty sure I have more Ponyville playsets than I have actual Ponyville ponies because I've found so many at Goodwill, Value Village, etc through the years!
