Fakies are hit or miss IMO, lots of collectors only get them when they're bundled in with purchases of other MLPs. Are there any known fakie brands that you would keep in your collection if you somehow acquired one? Or do you buy fakies all on their own, or not keep fakies at all?
For me I would say I don't seek out fakies on their own, but I've somehow gotten my hands on a Magic Pony (https://fakie-goddess.livejournal.com/8989.html) and a Crumpet (https://the-fakie-hideout.weebly.com/crumpet-fakies.html) fakie. If I end up with any more I would keep them too. I find the wonky-faced Magic Ponies endearing, and the Crumpet fakies are so sweet, I love them. :)

I've got a variety of fakies in my collection, but Lanards are definitely my favorites! :lovey: They're very cute (all iterations of them), and have a decent quality to their plastic. Only real downside is their tails are rooted in a circle which looks weird, but those kinds of shower head butts are common on most fakies so it's not too much of an issue. :lol:

remco are my favorite fakies!!!! theyre so round a cute <3
i also really like takaras, not that ive ever held one or even seen one in person....
-
I'm not too experienced with fakies. I grew up playing with CPK fakies so I'm fond of those. It would be nice to get those back in my collection.
Other than those, I love these Wonder Pony Land ponies!! The tiny eyes are so cute and I like the mold! The mushroom one is a must-have for me!

Wonder Pony Land eyes seem to vary a lot but I think these ones are my favourite. :)

I also like the Remco ones a little...I won't go out of my way to seek them out, but I thought it was was amusing to discover the name of one in a lot I was interested in was Clyde Horse. Like, that thing has a name? I had to look it up, and there was also a 'Babe Burro' in that line as well, and for some reason I just thought it was funny, and it made me like them more.
One that I do own (came in a bait lot)...does anyone know what these ponies are? It has a painted on diaper, similar to the Fancy Pants babies. I know they made adults of them that matched them, too, painted to look like merry-go-round ponies. They look kind of cute when paired as a set.
My main issue with fakies is that some have rooted tails...those really weird me out for some reason. And I very much dislike those Cabbage Patch fakies...they are just disturbingly hideous in my opinion.

I'd have to say Lanards. :lovey: Had some as a kid, and a stable to go with them. They were well integrated into the regular pony herd, and that stable was actually almost cooler than any MLP house I had otherwise.
I would actually love some more.
Otherwise the only fakies I really like are ones that steal MLP moulds.
-
I think Remcos are cute. And the donkey fakies are kind of cute in a weird way, I especially like the glow in the dark ones.
My all-time favourite fakie is my Buddy L pony. She lights up! Her wings flap! She makes noises! What's not to like?!
-
I like Lanards. I have a mom and baby set and not only are the in adorable poses, they have glass eyes, painted details and are made very well.
The best fakie is Princess Rinse 'n Spit but I don't know what she's actually named or who made her.
-
Remco, hands down! I do like the Donkey and Takara fakies though.
Love pkw xxx
-
Not sure which company makes princess rinse n spit, but they have my love!

Rinse n Spit is hands down my favorite fakie!

Lanards. They're super cute.
-
I really like modern Lanards!
Also My Little "Lonies", the G4 blind bag / bootleg Lego mash ups.

Don't know the name of this Carousel Pony fakie's brand, but I am quite fond of her. She was my first-ever fakie. I crudely gave her a symbol (a simplistically-drawn slice of bread cut out and taped to either haunch), and named her Toasty.
-
Oh gosh, how to choose? I love the Concerned fakies obviously, and I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for Senor Fakiepants! (Even if he's actually a girl pony named 'Molly' as I recall, LOL!) I also love the backhair/sideburns fellas, they're so weird and cute! But I grew up with Buddy-L ponies, with their molded saddles and bridles, and they will always hold a special nostalgic place in my heart. Same for Remco; it's funny, but the only one I had as a kid had those beautiful printed-on eyes, and something about them just drew me in. I still adore them! :heart: Remco had something magical with that one, with the big, dreamy eye, and those chubby little features!
I found a pic of my Sideburns boys! I think white is Mozart, green is Beethoven? But who did I name pink after?! :P

Wait, how could I forget Strawberry Shortcake's horses? They got really cute in the later years, look at this sweetheart and tell me I'm wrong!

OMG Snapdragon, those last ones!! :rofl:
Adding those to my list of fakies I need.
I also totally forgot about Princess Rinse N Spit & Concerned Fakie, too! Those, (along with, now, those Bootlegs up there!) are my favourite like, "one off" type fakies, where it's more of like one mould or single pony rather than a whole line or brand of actual fakies.
I also love that Strawberry Shortcake horse. <3 I never liked the dolls but used to actually have a lot of the pets and loved them all. (From the 80s, I had a rabbit, a duck, and a dog butterfly I think- I might be wrong on that! From the 2000s iteration I had the pink cat. They all had such a nice rubbery vinyl texture to them, as weird as that might seem to say. xD )
Also, what was Senior Fakiepants? That must have been one I missed out on seeing, lol!
I do remember the infamous Demon Donkeys. Love those.

Not sure which company makes princess rinse n spit, but they have my love!
Mei Ah :)
I love all fakies but my favorites are definitely Lanards, especially Party Ponies and Hair Ponies.

I don't actively collect fakies (although I find them very interesting), but my favorites are probably the Tara Pony Luvs. I had the purple one with the yellow mane as a kid, which I named Audrey Horse. I got her before I got any real ponies, so she's special to me.

G3 Fakies from like Dollar Tree. (not my picture but I own these)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/117216413@N05/18052168631/
I also have some that are smaller than those like little miniature G3 fakie babies. Always from the dollar stores.
I try not to buy fakies in general, but six of them have managed to find their way home over the years. A cute fakie for $1 is something I'm okay buying.
-
Lucky Ponies by Meritus are my favorite, I also think Sunshine Ponies are pretty cool!
-
Lucky Ponies are the only fakies I collect, though I think the sitting Lanard babies are cute and will definitely get a vintage brown Lanard if I ever come across one but that's because of sentimental reasons: I used to own one and would like to again.
-
Hm, I guess I love my Demon Donkey the best.
After that, there is this weird one that appears to be based on a Monster High character.
I also really love those Taobao fakies with the extremely weird cringy/crying faces, they crack me up...
-
There's this G3-like line that I see when I pop into Casey's. I don't go there often nowadays, but the last time I went, there was still one.
