weird takara fakie - new pics added to first post + auction link

[xeevee]

Yeah sure.  I actually tried to join the group myself to ask, but I haven't been approved. 

Sorry that I haven't taken any more photos yet.  Feeling unwell, and so it's still just sitting there with conditioner in its hair and no head.

Feel better soon

Love pkw xxx

I am VERY interested. If you sell her, may I suggest putting her up for auction? I know a bunch of us would want her for sure, and with an auction you'll be sure to get a good price!

[xeevee]

Yeah, I was thinking that, or maybe taking offers. 

I am seriously so surprised.  I nearly didn't buy her, and then I took a closer look at her face and thought I'd see if anyone knew what it was.  I didn't think I had some rare no one has ever seen before toy.

I think you are already in the My Little Phony group, but if not, this fakie is causing a great sensation! Congrats!! I don't think I could afford it, but I will closely follow the auction if you decide to sell.

Yes, I got approved today!  I feel slightly overwhelmed.     I never expected this at all, and now I want to make sure that I do things both quickly and thoroughly so everyone can see what she is properly and has a chance to buy her. 

I literally paid 1€ for her just because she looked weird.  I nearly left her.  Imagine if I left her behind!!

ok, editted the first post with new pics and stuff.

You did a super job cleaning her up and taming her hair

She is quite endearing I enjoyed the little video you made, that was very helpful for showing her details.

Love pkw xxx

Thanks, PKW.

What the actual heck???

I've heard of factories sticking mismatching heads on toys by mistake or in jest, but the head and the hair and the body look like they were all made for each other. That is nuts!! I can't believe we've never seen it before, either.

It is very different, therefore I am afraid of it. (Just kidding, little Ditzy Dog!)

If you have the time, could you take a picture with her head off? I skimmed through your TB video, but I don't think you popped it's head off.

Weird request, I know. But some of the fakie takara babies have different internal neck parts depending on who made them. So I'm just curious what this one looks like compared to others.

^^ Thank you for sharing, btw. It's tail cracks me up.

You should see if Tiella is interested in having her. She makes molds and casts them out of resin. She could probably also fix that gouge. I think it would be neat if more people had a chance to get their hands on at least a replica.

I agree The only downside is to make a mold all the hair would have to be removed, so the original would be destroyed a bit

I'd been following this thread before the new pictures were posted and WOW. This is an incredible find. Personally, I really hope it isn't dehaired for a mold... I hope whichever collector buys him/her will preserve it. I'd make an offer, but I know all the other Takara collectors will probably outbid me immediately lol.

This is one of the big reasons I adore fakies, though. Because there are always new ones popping up and it's impossible to document all of them.

The hair could always be replaced with fuller, higher quality hair. Original hair isn't as treasured on fakies.

If it goes directly to auction I imagine it's uniqueness will quickly put it out of my price range.

I think it would also be a shame to lose its original hair.  As far as the entire condition of the toy goes, the hair and paint are the two best bits.  I mean, who ever buys it can do whatever they want, and while I do think having a mould to make copies is a nice idea, it would be a shame to ruin the only original toy available to do that.

Yep, sure.  I had meant to do that actually.  But I forgot.  Will get to it as soon as I drag my butt out of bed.

I will also see if I can list her on eBay.com instead of .de without using their international parcel service today. I hate that thing.  PKW is it still OK to link to eBay auctions if they are your own?
