weird takara fakie - new pics added to first post + auction link
« on: November 14, 2015, 09:40:50 AM »
Sorry mods if this isn't the right place for this.  I just kind of thought nirvana people might be the place to ask.

So I found this today.

It's head is total takara fakie.  Same nose. Same eyes.  Everything.  But it's like it's a takara fakie trying to be a sweetie pup.  It has a ring of hair all the way around it's back.  It also has a plastic tail and stands on all four legs.

I'm currently in the process of trying to get as much of that scunge off her as I can.  But if you would like to see more pics then that's cool.

I'm also not in love with here... So probably I'd end up selling.  Do we have an idea on how much to ask?  Anyone here need it?  :P

------------------------------------------------

ETA:

Here are some much better pics of it cleaned up.

Plus I made A YouTube video here So you can see things in a little more detail.

Here's what I can tell you about her.

I found her at the Hannover Flea market in Germany last weekend in one of those boxes that you see at flea markets with a whole pile of scungy toys. I bought her with two G1 ponies.

She has no marks on her body indicating brand or when she was made.

Her body and head were glued on when I bought her, but the glue basically just let go when I put her in hot water. But her body colour and material matches her head so I don't think she is a weird toy hybrid made by a kid.

She is squishy, not hard.

Now she is by no means a perfect toy. She has ingrained dirt and/or staining from mold. She could definitely use a good oxy clean bath, but I have only been in Germany a month, and I leave at the end of the year, so I don't have a lot of cleaning supplies for ponies available to me.  She has a big gouge on one foot. Her hair is a little fragile and does come out if you're too rough with the comb. Not as bad as some fakies, but still.

O.o that one is new to me, lol
Good find. I think taking offers on it might be best for something so weird.

Wow!

I must admit I find the fakies with hair all over kind of scary, but that's just me :blush:

On saying that, I'm curious to see what she looks like when she's cleaned up.

Valu? no idea!

cool find!!  Is she a green pony? I'd be interested :-) I like she's on all 4s (not so keen on the human-pony takara thing)

no clue on value but at least hope you put up here for bids

She's like a green/grey.  Not the most attractive colour ever.  But definitely in the green spectrum.  She's also really squishy. 

When she's done in the spa I'll make a little video so you can get a good look.  I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get her pristine.  I am not in Germany for long, and I haven't been able to find magic erasers anywhere. So my pony cleaning tools are limited.

Lol, pony chest hair. 

Though, given mine's plastic tail, I kind of think she's supposed to be a dog.  She's a dog pony. 

Oh and maycrestmom, I just had another look at her under a different light stand she looked blue.  :/

Someone else here on the Arena has one in a different colour - they asked about it once...

Oh! WOW!! Such a cool find! Do you have better pics of it? I'd love to see the complete body. Is it the same size as the regular takara fakie? or is it much bigger?

She's just mid spa. In the head off letting the conditioner dry stage.  But I promise that when she's all clean I'll take a bunch of new pics. 

As for size, I haven't actually seen a takara fakie in person.  But I think she is the same size as a regular fakie takara baby.  I do have a photo I took of her with the other ponies I found yesterday... maybe that will help?

She's the same size, minus the obvious extra length in her neck

Can I share the pics on the My Little Phony facebook group? Maybe someone there has more information
