I bought this little orange gal from Ashlyne at the MLP Fair. I was a little apprehensive at first since she was a $20 fakie, but I love fakies! So when I saw her still there by the end of Sunday, I couldn't resist snatching her up.
I pmed her a little bit later just because I was curious about everything she knew about the fakie, but unfortunately, it looks to be a mystery at this point. She said she had gotten her from a Spanish seller who didn't speak a lot of English, so asking a lot of questions was out. But she noticed that she does bear a resemblance to the piggies, plus the seller is Spanish, so the assumption is that the fakie is Spanish too. (I think she looks a little Remco-like too?)
She's made with that transparent orange plastic that you don't really see anymore, so I'm guessing '80s or '90s. She has a colored in mouth, and it's hard to capture her knees in photos, but they have swirls molded into the plastic. (Kind of what you would see on a chubby cartoon character.) Another odd characteristic is that the plug is on the body, not the head, and the neck overlaps in an unattractive, lumpy fashion. (I still think it's adorable though!
)
Does anyone know anything about these little guys? Are there more of them out there? Are they all over Europe, or just from Spain? Who was the manufacturer? So many questions in one little mysterious gal!
