Do you count fakies as part of yourherd or do you count them as their own brand?

[invaderhorizongreen]

My fakes are counted as cousins for the ponies of mine.

  My MLP are my "Collection" but my fakies are still an offshoot of my Herd. There is only one fakie in my ChildHerd and it's a Cabbage Patch Pony.    My fakies and phonies are more of small Hoards than a Collection, per se...

I may have something of a problem...

Whoa! What are those sparkle ones? They look identical to MLP minus the symbols, I'd love to find a few of those in the wild.

Those sparkly ones were an accidental find at first. I now scour Evilbay and other sites for more. There are also occasionally some for sale on the My Little Phony Facebook group page. Not right now, but sometimes.

I don't consider Magic Meadow Ponies to be fakies, since they have their own mold and look and really don't resemble My Little Ponies that much. I have three of them and they're part of the herd. I don't have any other non-My Little Pony ponies and am not terribly interested in acquiring any, but they would likely just be welcomed into the herd if I did.
