What IS THIS??? A G1 Game piece? A fakie Thingy?

[hathorcat]

I am certainly going to keep an eye out for more of these!
Funny... As I was showing the Petite to Hubby, I remembered that his sister and I used to play with these! And, yes, the symbols would dissappear at the rub of a finger and it was tough to keep the tails anywhere close to smooth. Ah, the nostalgia! I knew this little gal was vaguely familiar!

Hmmm... I wonder if my mom-in-law kept any in the basement?

I feel a new addiction coming on. 

Lol...that was inevitable...they are totally "met one...gotta have them all" little creatures

I have petites too and i think they are cute. Someday i hope i will have the G2 petites.
In the mean time, i could try to collect the other ones. I never remember seeing petites in stores as a kid, i only found them from fleamarkets etc.

One another note, funny, this saying 'in the mean time/in the evil time'. Since mean means..uh mean/evil..

Good luck with your petite collecting:)  I have a nearly complete collection of the wee things.  They look great on display!

Thanks! 
Thankfully, Hubby thinks they're absolutely, fabulously darling and is totally okay with me pursuing "a few."

Other than "evil Bay" where have y'all had the most luck finding these??

I got some of mine from collectors here. I actually have a bunch of extras from when I was buying lots on ebay to complete my collection. I'm open to trades and possibly sales. Feel free to PM me if you're looking for some.

They're pretty tough to find in thrift stores and flea markets. They sometimes get mixed in with accessories, so if you ever see a bag of those, check it.  Your best options are other collectors and ebay. I have found lots on ebay can be cheaper per petite than buying individual petites for some of the rarer sets(Glowing, Twinkle, Bright). The lot prices can vary wildly if someone is looking for that last petite they need to complete a set.  I've seen(and paid)some crazy prices for the little things, and I've also seen them go for shockingly low prices. It just depends on who's looking that day.

Ebay, here and any other Pony Collector sites are your best bet for petites. You could post a Want thread over in the Wanted forum and perhaps people can help you out.
