Fakies are now banned from my collection. ... Except for two...Going to garage sales and flea markets is something me and my mom have long loved to do together. I look for ponies and such, she looks for dishes, planters and such. One time we came across this fakie. Not sure of the brand but it's blue with a yellow molded on saddle and bridle, and a heart on it's forehead. When you squeeze it the heart lights up and it makes whinnying and galloping noises. My mom thought it was so cute and started playing with it. I admitted it wasn't ugly, although told my mom she was a dork. Mom said I should get it and keep it, so I did since my mom liked it so much. Some time later I found another one in light green and kept that one too. They sit on a shelf with real MLPs and I call them my "Honorary Ponies" I consider them as belonging to my mom, but they live in my herd.
Twenty years or so ago, one summer, my family were down in the south west for the Dorset Steam Fair, where we also met up with Reaperfox, one of my first pony acquaintances. We were both about 16 at the time and we went off round the steam fair together, hunting ponies. In our hunts, we found a couple of really ugly ponies that looked like fakies. We made some jokes about them and then walked on, leaving them there.After the fair was done, Reaperfox's dad surprised her with a present - the two ponies we had seen. He gave them to her as a joke because they were weird looking, and so she kept them, even though we thought of them as fakies.Some years later, when Spanish pony information began coming out online, we learned that these two "fakies" were actually piggy ponies! I am really glad that they ended up with Reaperfox because it would've been such an annoyance to have left them out there because the community just didn't know about piggies at the time. I don't like piggies, so it's not likely I would've kept them, more likely I would've donated them, if they had come to me. But she kept them because her Dad gave them to her.She still has them xD.
Those are Buddy L fakies. I had a pink Earth pony with a yellow bridle and I think a Heart on forehead. I still remember playing with her and my childhood ponies. She ran to the top of the Lullabye Nursery to signal the other ponies. Ponyfan

Thanks, it's good to know the brand now! I don't think mine work anymore, I wonder if I could fix them?
