Could you please help me ID this little gal? ;3

[Whoa1234]

She's a fakie G1 baby.

I got her at a second hand shop, in one of those grab bags, they wouldn't sell her to me sep so I paid $3.25 for the bag and left the other toys there. *grumbles*

I want to do a whole slew of customs using this pony.
(At least a set of 10)

I was wondering-
Where she came from (like Dollar tree, Dollar General?)
Would it be cheaper to buy more of her, or make a cast and make my own ponies?

I think she is a Dollar Store Fakie, they came in little clear cases, two to a case.  <3

[Whoa1234]

Thanks :3
I need to go stalk the Dollar tree's in my town!
lol

I'm not sure if they still sell them.  I know they were in stores a long time back, but I personally haven't seen them for sale in a while.

They're very popular too, especially amongst customizers since they come in a wide array of colors and look so much like G1s

[Whoa1234]

I compaired her to my Dibbles and she's pretty close! Just a few minor differences in size and shape. :3

Hmmm maybe I should go to the hobby shop and pick up some mold and casting supplies.

wait wait wait, hold the PRESS!!

a G1-mold-based newborn FAKIE? ....., It's AD-OAR-AB-LLLLL I needs one! 

Are they new??? I'd love some blue or green or yellow ones!

She is a Dollar General fakie.  And I am pretty sure she is no longer available in stores

the only problem with making a cast of her is the plastic you use.  Resin is too hard to rehair efficiently without actually drilling holes into her, and silicone only lasts for a while, the molds are made of silicone and  wear out after so many uses, and i assume that whatever you make with silicone would wear out also. vinyl must be poured in a mold at extremely hot temperatures, thus a metal mold, and let cool.  :< so inconvenient.

[Whoa1234]

I want to try making a mold for her, but I'm kind of worried I'll ruin her. :/

Boooooooo!

 I guess I wouldn't mind if they were bald. lol

I've already dehaired her and shes still pretty cute.

There were quite popular a few years ago. I wonder if they still sell them at dollar general?

[Chi]

Oh gosh, what an adorable little fakie. <33

[kittybethy]

She is a Dollar General fakie.  And I am pretty sure she is no longer available in stores 

 No, they do not sell them anymore.

 I love DG fakies!!

[Whoa1234]

Awe

Well, lets hope I don't ruin her tomorrow trying to clone. <3

i think there is more of a chance of messing the mold up than the pony. the worst you can do is have her filled with the mold material, which is removable, just a pain.
