:cheer:   Hello everypony!!  :cheer:
In celebration of my 1000th post, and the fact that it is also my birthday, I am holding a guess the number of fakies competition. Below are some photographs of my bag of fakies. The ones who guess nearest to the correct number of fakies/toy ponies in the bag win a prize. I think I am going to do what Ringlets did and not tell you what the prizes are! All I am going to say is they include G1s, G1 dollymix, G1 Merch, G3s, G4s, handmade items, sweets/chocolate and possibly some other stuff!

 :glitter:  Postage will be covered by me and is open to all. :glitter:


Only 1 guess per member

Competition entries will close 30th June 6th July


So....how many ponies/horses are in the bag....? :)

Post by: Sarahlacewing on May 22, 2012, 02:01:40 PM
I sent you my guess and it was just a number I picked out of my head LOL.

I did that thing where I was like the average fakie is probably 4-5 inches long by 3-4 inches tall.  So if the bag is -insert estimation- then that means roughly this many fakies will fit in the bag.  Minus a few for the overall circular nature of the bag.  Add a few for smaller fakies within the bag.  And guess!

I don't really know much about any of them tbh as I have had none from new. Did you mean the really tiny one with the moulded yellow hair? It says © VI 07 on it's tummy.

Sorry for the delay in sending out the prizes; one of the winners has not been online and I was hoping to get an answer before I allocate the prizes, but it has been long enough so I am going to start packaging up everything ready! :cheer:



Finally, here are pics of all the fakie ponies and toy horses in the bag! Sorry about the state they are in - I was hoping to tidy them all up somewhat before I took the pictures, but that fakie hair seems impossible to brush without it all coming out, lol!

Big ballerina fakie! (Made in China) I have not seen any other fakies like this, but I am assuming she is vintage?
Misc. baby ponies are all marked Made in China accept for the carousel baby which is unmarked.

Scary sunshine/donkey fakie! (unmarked) I am quite sure this and the baby fakie were from the early 90's as they were with some early 90's G1s. I am also assuming they must have been sold together. The baby pony (Made in China) has no mane or holes for a mane, just a row of dots marking it.

Fakie breezers (awful quality! xD) and a Bratz pony (TM & © 2005 MGA. Made in China).

The little plastic horse is marked © VI 07

Lanards and Lanard fakies. Can you spot the real from the fake?
The white one at the back is a real Lanard (© 1994 LANARD CHINA).
The light aqua pony with aqua hair to the right in the same mould is just marked Made in China. It is well made for a fakie fakie.
The pony on the far left in the pic is a vintage Larnard (© 1984 LANARD TOYS, MADE IN CHINA).
The light aqua pony at the front with the manky hair is also a Lanard (LANARD ®, © 1997 LANARD TOYS LTD. MADE IN CHINA)
The little white one is really cheaply made (it is really awful!) and is unmarked.
