Title: Small Brag! First Takara Fakie

This is my first Takara fakie.

So proud to have her! I can't wait to get her!

I'm not sure if I overpaid, since I think $20-30 is average for just one?

I paid $21 total and she's out of the USA.

I also spotted another one at a vintage shop, so I'm headed there tomorrow to grab her :)

Is she in fair condition? I'm not really familiar with them. This is a new collection for me.

She's also throwing in the Takara holding case! I don't think I've seen those in any auction :)!

Post by: UrocyonFox on May 28, 2013, 07:28:13 AM: I keep seeing these around here, what are they?
Title: Re: Small Brag! First Takara Fakie
Post by: Discord on May 28, 2013, 10:34:10 AM: I'm probably buying the second one I saw in town soon. It was only $5, so I hope someone didn't realize what it was and grab it!

They're adorable little fakies that were around in the 80's. I remember having a couple as a kid. I appreciate them way more now and I totally have the bug!

When I first started collecting My Little Pony, I got all of the HTF, or rare ponies I wanted. I've been expanding the herd ever since.

I just think these guys are adorable and unique!

Her coloring reminded me of Fluttershy, which is a huge plus for me!
