Fakie? Custom? Or real G3?

[Saiko]

Hi all! I'm looking at a lot of ponies for sale and included is this one, who I can't identify. Is she a fakie, a custom or a legit G3? Thanks!

pretty sure she's a fakie! seen a lot of these in bundles

As G3 only had cutie marks on one side it's possible that it's real, but there were a lot of fakies made in that mold.  From this angle, the head looks a little big for the body, which suggests a fakie. It would be easier to tell if they'd shown the mark or if we could tell if the tail was rooted or not. Is this the only picture of it?

I think it is a fakie...I don't see one like it here: https://strawberryreef.com/Index/Color/blue.html
Not sure that site is exhaustive, but it usually is pretty reliable.

They way the mouth is molded isn't detailed enough and it doesn't look like there's a magnet or the plastic cover in either of the front feet. Plus, the single colored mane doesn't have tinsel and I can't think of any single colored mane G3s without tinsel. My money's on a fakie.

I would also err on the side of fakie.

Gonna say fakie, I don't think G3 ever had a mold in that shape; the legs seem off. But she's a nice fake, pretty convincing!

I wish we could see the tail better, that would be a giveaway because fakies usually have the "punched in" multiple strands of hair!  But yeah, the lack of a magnet / cap makes me think fakie.

I think it's based on a real mold, though . . . Looks very similar to this mold to me:

I'm leaning towards fakie because of the lack of symbol... it's true G3s only had them on one side, but that head looks like a "Display Side" head. If it had a symbol, I'd expect it to be on this side, you know?

It looks like a very good fakie though, I was convinced at first! Never seen one of these before.

Pretty sure it's a fakie, I think all of those that I saw\owned had snowflake cutie marks.

[Leave a Whisper]

It's definitely a G3 fakie, you can see that the proportions and eyes are a little off.

Fakie I think because her proportions but she does look very nice, she has a nice shade of blue

Ooh, good eye! I think what's throwing me off is the sharper angle of the hooves; I'm used to seeing soft, rounded hooves! I feel like her head is reminding me of Henna Cheerilee/Winter Pinkie Pie, the one where they have their head thrown back in a laugh? But NOW I'm wondering if her head is from (or molded from) a Rainbow Swirl head, the one from the ice cream truck! The color would fit! https://mylittleponyg3.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Cream_Dream_Supreme

The colors and proportions are still off just enough to make me think it's still a fakie, but I wonder if it's a fakie of that specific pony!
