Title: Real or fake MLP porcelain figurine
Post by: Strawberrysweets on January 06, 2018, 02:00:12 AM
-Edit-
Confirmed from Skeen that its a fakie.

I cleaned a box in the garage attic and found this:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

She dont have any bow and I have never seen her symbol/cutiemark before.
There is no sticker, ingraved logo or anything to tell me where and what year she was made.

I haven't seen anything like her! It almost looks like a badly-colored Lemon Drop with an artist's interpretation of her symbol, or Blossom after a tattoo parlor adventure!

Even if she is fake, she's really cute! How is she supposed to sit?

She is around Blossoms colors but much more light lavendel hue on the body. She is actually laying on her back (would have been better with her eyes closed >_>) which I never seen in any of the pictures of the official porcelain figures.
Would have been fun if this was a rejected proto type :P

This is quite interesting! Her symbol reminds me of Sparkler, but the they don't exactly match. And her color scheme is a lot more like Blossom's. If I remember correctly, the US ones have light body colors (lighter than the original pony) and no marks? So it could be an actual figure? But then you have the symbol who doesn't match anyone.

Oooo, how cute!  She could be another Euro exclusive?   Her hooves do look to be in the same style as the known ones.  And the eyes look like the ones on Majesty and Buttons.

She could be Sparkler, but my guess is that she's Lemon Drop.

The euro ones that have body color is much darker but less details like lack of color around the iris(at least what I have seen in pictures)
Gone through google pictures but have found no match, not even search either purple pony or fake mlp. Neither can i find anyone with a complete collection either.

if she was official I would have thought she be easier to track down but guess not. Yeah the style used is very like the euro ones.
After over an hour looking through google images I have found no match and its driving me insane  :drunk:
I either is lucky to have a proto type or a really good fake x_x

She wants a belly rub clearly :P

Clearly XD
But right now she clearly needs a bath as a spider came out while just giving her a light shower  :whoa:

I gave her a bath. Her body color is not of lavendel hue its white.
Consider she was in a box from at least 2003 its not wonder she was in a diffrent hue  :blush:

Those hooves and eyes sure make her look like a real one, but I've never seen one like her before. That pose is super adorable, though! Love it!

I was so surprised when I picked her up from the box in -3C starring at her for like five minutes thinking "Is this real? Have I had a MLP porcelain all this time?"
She is adorable, just wished they had made her eyes closed so it looked like she was sleeping.

EDIT: MANY years ago I asked the same question and got a lot of detailed responses from members who are no longer in the community but it was confirmed 100% ponies like this are fakies.  I didn't care, my porcelain collection is my pride and I have this cutie displayed right up front.  :)

Maybe you could put a blanket around her so it looks like she is waking up.?

She is an adorable fakie then. Wish we could document these fakies that look like the originals.
