Help me find my childhood fakies!

[Eldarwen]

When I started collecting ponies, I went through this "eww fakies" phase and sold all my childhood fakies on fleamarket. Yeah, as you can guess, it was a big mistake. Anyway, I had two fakies that were my favorites, but I can't find them anywhere!

They both looked just like the ponies here: http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn130/Skimble_banger/The%20Great%20Fakie%20Research%20Project/talkingcpkponies.jpg

I have found tons of fakies that look the same, but not even one pony that has the same colours as my childhood ponies did!

One was really bright yellow. She had a yellow mane too. She had the same white mark on her forehead as the pony in the picture. The other one was just the same, but she was dark blue with blue mane.

I did find this blue pony: http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn130/Skimble_banger/The%20Great%20Fakie%20Research%20Project/Fakie%20Wish%20List/cpk_blue1.jpg but my pony had much more vibrant colours.. I also remember them being "less fake" looking, but maybe they were just in really good condition.

I would really appreciate if you could show me any photos of these fakies! Any yellow/blue ponies! It would be so awesome to find at least a photo..

Thank you

i Might jave one, but i dunno, i dislike fakies so i don't keep track...

Those are definitely pirated Magic Meadow heads stuck on Tootsie-pose bodies. Fortunately they are rather common, but they are also quite varied so I'm not entirely sure how many blue ones were made besides the ribbon one in the picture. You don't remember a symbol, do you?

There are other CPK sub-type fakies that I'm collecting, though I only have three of them and they don't have a cute fandom nickname as far as I know. I call them "Raised-heart fakies" because they have little hearts molded into the plastic, as if they are rising out of their hooves. They are extremely similar to Tara fakies in that regard. Here's a Google pic. It may or may not be closer to what you are looking for?

Best of luck on finding your babies back!

Thanks for your help everyone!

I've been thinking and thinking, and I cant remember their symbols at all! Im quite sure I would recognize it in a second if I saw it though. I remember everything else about the ponies.. The texture of the beautiful curly hair (no clue if it was original), those eyes, white mark on face.. But symbols. I just cant remember. Nothing! Those ribbon, rainbow and cherry symbols dont look familiar at all though. But it could be just my memory playing a trick on me.

Rachel-Eyes, I saw those ponies too, but my fakies didnt have hooves like that, and the head was kinda.. less hippo?  Im quite sure the pony I linked in the first picture is exactly the same fakie series as my ponies, I just need to find the right colour.

I've been googling so much, checking ebay auctions for fakies, and I keep finding those fakies but not even one with the same colour as mine. 

I checked the links, thanks Sarahlacewing! Im absolutely sure they were one of these: http://www.mlplovers.com/fakie/fakiecp2.jpg. They just had to be! Now I just need to continue my search for the right yellow and blue one..

There are actually two types of CPK fakies in that pic! The two in the back are the ones that came with the giant CPK fakie in a set of three, whereas the ones in front are the Tootsie-bodied CPK fakies that you had in the earlier photos. It's something to look out for if you end up buying any, at any rate!  =D

[Eldarwen]

Ah, you're right! My ponies were like the ones in the front though.  I asked my mom too, and she remembers them being really brightly coloured too. Now I just need to find them..

[LunaDehligt]

I think i seen one of them

If you scroll down you will find the source of those pictures and probably the best information I know of about them

Marking this until I can check.  I have several kinda like those.

[Eldarwen]

Thank you again everyone, just let me know when you find any blue or yellow ones, they might be what im looking for!

They're really similar, but not the right colour. Thank you anyway! I believe the hair colour is right. But the body was much darker blue. Not as dark as the Dutch Diary pony, but similar!

[Eldarwen]

I have finally found a picture of a fakie that is exactly the same as my old pony! Well, at least the colours. I just think the symbols were white.. But I could be wrong.

This is what I've been looking for! Now I just need to find a picture of the yellow one..

[FairyDust]

I was looking at the official fakie swap thread.

These probably aren't the right colored ones but looks like mayanbutterfly had some similar to that.  Emery also has similar ones.  http://www.emerys-emporium.com/mlp-fakies.shtml


I didn't relook through all the links but it's a good thread to post on as well!

I hope you can replace your childhood fakies!
