G1 Fakie

Perhaps this is no news but I found this fakie at my grocery store and due to its close resemblance to a G1 and only $2.99 I had to have it.visitors can't see pics , please register or login

That's adorable! The grocery store we usually go to use to carry those. Now that I actually want them to use as custom bait, they no longer stock them. Congrats on the find!

She's a pretty color! I haven't seen any  in our stores in awhile - but it was the ones with those awful painted hooves! I like the ones without all the paint

Crumpet fakies! They were actually made from a Hasbro mold, from my understanding. My gas station had some out that were covered in a thin layer of dust a while ago, so I assume they were old stock. I bought them all.

That particular one is actually my favorite of the four that I bought. I named her after my best friend.

I know there was a post on the old Arena for these fakies from someone who had collected all that were known at the time. I go back to it occasionally for reference... let me see if I can find it.

EDIT: It's this one. Thanks, Google!

There's another one left. But the seal is a bit opened so she could be good for a custom. PM me if you need me to get it for you.
Oh! Thanks for the link:)

CSA collects those! Her colour army picture is pretty amazing!!!

Fakies in G1 moulds are the best arent they...so close and yet so far from the real thing!

If you take her out, feel around by the rump, usually there's raised bumps where the symbols were from the pony they used for the molding....

I love these fakies! Frumpet/crumpet fakies are the best... fakies... evah... I have a few, nowhere near as many as CSA has though.

I think she's lovely!  I would have bought her too!

Crumpet fakies are so cool!

Those are cute!! If I see them somewhere, I'll be sorely tempted to get them all!

I have heard this before. Apparently the stolen pony was Seaflower, so the symbols are flowery sunny seashells. I've only been able to find it one one of them, so I wonder if some are more prominent than others.

Probably not so much stolen as some very questionable and cheap reverse pony engineering!!!
