Title: Want to confirm this is NOT a nirvana. Help please?
Post by: Thunderwing on September 30, 2018, 12:03:00 PM
The orange pony is the one in question, the one in baby blossom's pose. This is a fakie, correct, and not a nirvana? I want to make sure before I toss them!  I don't want to be the muffin who sends a nirvana to goodwill.   :blush:

I can’t really help you, I am no nirvana expert. But a good indication would be to look under her hooves. Is she stamped?

And another thing, if she is a fakie - I think it is a market for those fakies? You could try selling her here? I know there is a market for that newborn fakie at least. Not sure about any prices though, but I just noticed that fakies has gained some popularity the last couple of years. I wouldn’t toss them out if I were you ;)

It's not a fakie I've seen before, but I would say it almost certainly IS a fakie, not a legit pony, based on the way the tail was inserted and the eyes.

I don’t know if it is one, but it reminds me of those coloring baby fakies.

Strongly suspect that's a fakie, based on the rooted tail patch and eye/lip paint.  However, both she and the newborn fakie are definitely things MLP customizers would be very interested in - any G1 pose fakie really has value, because they're a perfect blank body to work with.

She looks like a fakie to me :) if you aren't sure keep her, she is only small and won't take up much room in your collection. I'm sure one of your ponies would want to adopt her.

Have you asked in the corral about her?

Love pkw xxx

That was my thought as well.

I'm 99.9% sure she's a fakie.

However, I think that you should offer the two G-1 like fakies here to someone rather than donate them. I know people like collecting them, or using them as bases for customs so they aren't destroying a g1.

That was my thought too...it doesn't look quite the same as the one I have, which I think is more like the Peruvian earth baby pose - but it does have that kind of look to the plastic, doesn't it?

Pose is from a G1 base though, so I understand asking the question.

she does looks like the color me ponies... which by themself not strongly regarded as fakies. surly not a nirvana. anywho the pony in question is kinda sought after and hard to finds so I'm personally hope she will find a home at a mlparena collector. she will be taken fast I'm sure. she what I love to call a good fakie.  certainly not a goodwill pony.

Do not donate!  There are many collectors who would want her, I like her too <3 I can't ID her but she is definitely a cutie and wanted in the community!
