Real ponies that seemed like fakies

[Ackryllis]

We all know that there are some strange nirvana variants that makes you think of a fakie, but how about the normal ponies?

I got fooled today by an Favorite Friend Sunny Daze today. She was really hard and didn't have that nice soft feel to her like every other g3 I've encountered so far. She's in a pose I don't think I've yet met so the size difference between the body and the head was off setting. And the symbol is really fakie material. So I didn't take her but maybe I'll snatch her tomorrow now that I know she's real.

Have you ever had an encounter like this before?

I have a g3 forsythia and when I first saw her I thought she was a fakie! She is just so exceptionally bright red and mine had rather terrifying hair, I thought she was a very interesting fakie! It didn't click until I got an actuall forsythia fakie in the same colours that she is indeed a real pony, I believe the fakie is a pegasus lol

I hope sunny daze is still there for you!

Anything extremely gimmicky, like the surprise twins mommy When I saw pics I thought she couldn't be real I was a kid though so, lol

I remember when G3 Pepper Berry came out and was in packaging and body colours unlike any of the other ponies, there was a lot of talk as to whether she was legit or a fakie.

The Year 9 Princess ponies. What was Hasbro thinking with those eyelashes?

(right before I started getting interested in the older gen ponies since I came from the G4 line of toys) I was looking though a flea market I saw one of the sweetheart sisters and laughed how fake she looked until I looked under her to see the Hasbro text on her stomach

Definitely the princess ponies with the eyelashes, haha.  They look like eyebrows so much.  I think the G4 Pop ponies look a lot like fakies too, they just look so... kitschy!

The entire G4 line looks like cheap dollar-store toys.

>.> So regretfully cheap.... and yet I still buy them. What's wrong with me?

UK Princess Sparkle.  I thought this girl was a fake for years.  She still doesn't feel very MLP to me for some reason.

I thought my UK variant tail-less Romper (happy tails pony) was a fakie, so I donated her in a shoebox to a child during the one of the Balkan conflicts.

Serves me right for not giving her one of my good ponies.

Yup, gotta agree with you on that one.  They're quite small, and they're even more expensive than the G3's.  At least I've noticed that they're about $1 to $3 more than the G3 line.

I bought several, but only to customize and I've found out they're not even fun to customize!

I thought Little Flitter was a fakie when she turned up in an Etsy listing, then I found out about Summer Wing ponies and they swiftly became one of my favourite sets (and that exact pony who confused me at first is now one of the favourites in my herd!)

[Shimmer Mist]

Before I was all too knowledgeable about how much variety G1 had I thought a Sweetheart Sister I found at a thrift store was a fakie. Thankfully I decided to look under the hooves regardless of my suspicions otherwise I would have left Twinkler behind.

I love G4 to bits but I have to agree.

Also I think the reason they're more expensive is what makes them a pain to customize. The regular playfuls have that ridiculous plastic plug in their heads. X-X Just... why? So the head can turn? I thought that was possible without some chunk. Alicorn molds are also mostly solid, too. I like them but I still don't understand why they can't be hollow-molds like other ponies? Anyway, most of the plastic budget for each figure is probably wasted on solid bits where ponies in the past have gotten along just fine without it.

Oh geez I know. They're horrible.
