Title: Holy Stolen Box Art, Batman! XD (Had to share this)
Post by: EmberBright on May 10, 2012, 10:46:37 AM
This made me laugh when I saw it- which got me a few weird looks from other shoppers. Look at the art on this box- intergenerational theft and everything! I had no money, but I'm going to have to buy her next time we're in that town. She'll be my only MIB pony!  :P


(Sorry if she's been shared before- I just thought it was awesome)

Foal Lyceum  (note the stolen butt symbol, too!)

Why do all the good fakies have to be outside the US?! I'd totally buy the whole shelf of these.

I'd get you one if they still have a few when we get back, but shipping from Canada would probably be about $15. :/

I'm partial to the totally random accessories, myself. Cooking utensils and... a ball?

Wow not only blatant art theft but that looks like a mold copy of the sitting G3 with the movable legs! o.o Amazing for a fakie!

I love this kind of thing...its such blatant artwork theft that its unashamed!

Also...is the lying pose on the top of the box reminding anyone of some original art? I know its very like the HB G1 line art you sometime see Confetti and Posey in but there is something about the line art which is reminding me of an actual artist...hmmm....

The typos are so bad I thought it was in another language at first.  And what's the deal with the MOP in the second pic?  --Oh, wait, I get it, it's a reference to Cinderella and "fairy (tales)."  Still weird though.  Kinda cute how they combined art from G1 and G3 though (even if it's blatantly stolen).

They should have put a pony into the Sense of Right Alliance box.
I'd buy that in an instant.

Foal Lyceum? Enlighten Frlond?!
Also the terrible grammar on the back of the box, oh god I died laughing just now. This is terrible and just great!


..That.. Sense of Right Alliance.. xD

But but... the mirror does magically spin when pony touches the vanity...!!  LOL

I don't get how some knock off companies get away with this. And I certainly don't understand why they do not produce toys of better quality if they get their hands on MLP molds. Oh well, I'll file this question under "Do not break your head over it", right next to the Pink/white Celestia debate files...

Enlighten frlond!

I love everything about this Fakie's random box. Including the G3 Cheerilee with Easter basket. And is that a mushroom and some plates the pony comes with?

 :lol: It is kinda cute for a fakie though.  I have a G3 fakie with rip-off artwork too and I dont' know how they get away with it either!

Me neither!  Why is Shrek fighting for "right alliance" along with Bat-, Super-, and Spider-Man and a random Pixar car???  And I don't even know who that other guy is; Fantastic 4?

That G1 design was definitely used in some merchandise artwork.  I can think of a Mom & Baby Glory puzzle off the top of my head.

The picture on top...I'm sure that's someone's art too. I know I've seen various recolors in people's signatures here. Maybe I'm wrong but the face and eyes look wrong for official G1 art.
Title: Re: Holy Stolen Box Art, Batman! XD (Had to share this)
Post by: Wardah on May 10, 2012, 05:43:20 PM
I think a few people here might want one. *cough* Especially if you don't mind trading for a regular G3.

I work at a discount variety store and we get fakies for all kinds of toys haha Im so used to seeing the g3 art on fakies. The odd thing about our fakies are that only one pony uses a g3 mould, the rest are outright fakie moulds. However we have recently been getting in real pony toys (only 3.5 though) Which [retty much means its clearance time for the 3.5's

Also I love how even Shrek and Donkey appear to be wondering what in the world Shrek's doing in this set.

(Edited again because I spelled Shrek wrong o.O)

Wow that is one. . .  interesting fakie.  Love the random accessories.  And that g1-esque artwork does look really familiar. . .

BTW, that badly written, badly edited tag line sounds a lot like the tag line on the g3 Crystal Princess line, doesn't it?

This is just awesome!  Superheroes, Shrek and the suddenly-blue Lightning McQueen unite for. . .  a sense of right?  :silly:  It's just like Avengers or Justice League, but awesomer.  :)

LOL That sense of right set is HILARIOUS!

I agree, all the good fakies are outside of the US. I LOVE that it's a fake of the ice cream car pony!

the touch of magic is that not only is the box art stolen from hasbro, but from Marco as well. A talented artist that once was part of the community but due to so much art theft has stopped. His work ALWAYS amazed me.

This is in Canada! awesome!
and does anyone know who the G1 pony on the box art is? If they're not a real pony I want to make them as a custom.

I think it was a store called Rossy- I've never seen one outside of Newfoundland. New to me!

There are some Rossy's in New Brunswick and Quebec.  Darn I don't live near one anymore. Use to have one across the street.  I could have raided the toy section for whatever ones I could find for folks.

The Sense of Right Alliance set is like it was ripped from the pages of some ensemble fanfic . . .

As for the fakie, all I have to say is ENLIGHTEN FRLOND!
