New Classic Fakie Fakies at Toys R Us!

[pineapple]

I was at TRU today picking up some stuff for a buyer in Germany, and in the party favors section they have a bin of G1 baby sized fakies... that all appear to be knockoffs of infamous 80s-90s fakies! 

They're $1/ea, I ended up with 7 because that was how many unique ones they had.  Among others they resemble Lanards, Remcos, Drink N Wet fakies, and those crazy eyed donkey looking ones.  They're packed in plastic bags and the label says "Toysmith" and "Precious Ponies^TM"  Some of them have stamped on one flank:

I'm gonna take pix for my weekly merch article at The Round Stable, so I'll throw them up here too.

Thanks for the heads up, Pineapple! I've been on the lookout for fakies, so I'll keep my eye out the next time I head over.

I saw them as well, and promptly gave them the evil eye as I walked past.

Are these the ones in the little plastic bags? If so they are cute in their own little fakie way

about half of them have this text on one side, hard to tell if the 12/11 means Nov 2012 or Dec 2011 but I'm leaning towards Nov 2012.

Okay, now I need to get to TRU stat, that crazy eyed donkey is just too darn cute in my opinion! Do the fakies come in assorted mane/body colours, or are they each the same?

OOh! They had this same mix at my local art store. (They have random toys there for no reason...) I got a purple variant of the donkey with rainbow hair.

Not entirely sure, each of the 7 I got have a different mold although some are very similar.

edit: Actually I have 8, found one more in the bag. An orange variant of the crazy donkey.

I need to make a stop at Tru *makes a mental note*

I want those! Too bad my local TRU doesn't have any   

[karrie91]

I'd love to get some of those! Don't have a local TRU though. Closest is about 25 minutes away. Can't afford the gas! Darn lol
