Title: Nirvana fakies ?
Post by: pyrodarknessanny on February 21, 2018, 07:26:48 PM
Can certain  fakies be classified  as Nivanas ?

Im not talking about the Mexican big  brother fakies all though technically they count.

For this I am more talking about the super strange rare fakies from  Spain , Greece and Mexico .

Takaras have their own classification so those don't count here. 


What do you all think ?

I think this is a question best asked on the nirvana boars, instead of the main. ^^;

Speaking as one of the nirvana mods, there are fakies of nirvana ponies (Takaras), but no fakies are actually classed as nirvana :) I can't speak for the fakie collecting community though, they may well have their own version of nirvana :bigups:

There are always grey areas though and we don't know what will be proven or disproven in the future. 

The squeaky butt Venezuelan ponies are one such grey area. LadyG believe these may well as been produced after the licence the factory has with Hasbro expired, which would make them technically a Hasbro fakie.

Interestingly some nirvanas (the Spain piggy ponies) were considered of as fakies for a LONG time until one found MOC.

I believe these would be considered Nirvana: this round of Lanard ponies were produced with a different look for the Danish market! More of a Nirvana Fakie than a fake Nirvana, but I thought it was worth mentioning anyway!

oh that's cool.

Just ordered some vintage lanards, thought I just needed some babies and the rest of the flocked guys and I was done, but looks like I was wrong! Danish Party Ponies just made it to my wish list!!

While there are some that are pretty hard to find, but I can't think of any others in particular that were region exclusive. Most of our fakies were available across different parts of Europe as well.

In the My Little Phony facebook group we are looking for a name for these "nirvana" fakies, because the are indeed harder to find and exclusive to one country, and have a higher price too. Terms like "Fakevana", "Nirvake", "Fools Gold" and such, are suggestions that are popping around ^^

Oh wow, those Party Ponies are awesome! If I were actively collecting Fakies I'd be putting them at the top of my want list too.

@ Stormness - I would love to see your Lanard Collection, it probably puts mine to shame!  :biggrin:

In the My Little Phony facebook group we are looking for a name for these "nirvana" fakies, because the are indeed harder to find and exclusive to one country, and have a higher price too. Terms like "Fakevana", "Nirvake", "Fools Gold" and such, are suggestions that are popping around ^^




Lol yeah that was me who started that thread.

LOL so would I! They've been in storage for years, I've been buying by lists and adding them to totes, they've never actually been together, because I haven't had room to display them! One day I'll have to pull them all out and do photos. I'm currently buying for my fakie collection, so maybe one day soon I'll pull them out and get some photos. I'd love to get the wedding set again, I traded them for MLPs, and regretted it ever since, they've become so hard to find!

I like the idea of Nirvana fakies, they always have some odd charm about them, quirky faces and all. Those danish lanards look super cute, normally I'm not one for those but these are something else!

I can definitely see nirvana fakies being grails for those who collect fakies at all, while I've looked through tons of fakie images in the past, there are just some that show up rarer than a blue moon it seems. And plenty I've never laid eyes before! I'd love a nirvana fakie guide.
