Takara Baby Fakies
« on: April 27, 2013, 06:42:10 AM »
I just saw a few Takara Fakies and I think I'm in love!

But where are they sold? Are they only on eBay or are they still
in stores?

If you know of anywhere that I can get them, please let me know!

Not in stores anymore. There are quite a few manufacturers, and they have been found from Europe~Argentina... But many people remember them from their childhood.... so they are older, for the most part. (The original mold is from the early 80s).
Ebay is a so-so place to get them, because I feel like they are overpriced there (There was one recently for $60). Depending on where you are located, some people can find them locally second hand. (Not so much for the US, but it does happen).
Despite what people may say, I think you can grab them for $25-$35 if you are patient enough to wait for some to pop up here. ;) I know I've had some sort of difficulty getting rid of mine for that price... u__u;

My Takara Fakies

These two are super nice and the yellow one even has a nice rehair job. I've seen them on eBay for over $50 and they were the ones that needed some TLC. ( bad paint rubs and super frizzed hair ).

If you want an alternative, there are people who make their own Takara fakie babies here on the Arena and on Etsy.

I found mine on a fleamarket.
I think... it is a fakie of the fakie version :P I rehaired her, because she was bald

Tomorrow is the mother of all fleamarkets (as in every town and village in the country has an outdoor fleamarket), so I hope I'll find another :D

Sigh, I had two of these as a kid.. But when I started collecting ponies, I sold all my fakies at the fleamarket, thinking they're all worthless. Well, there goes my takara fakies too for 2 euros each. I would have never guessed they are popular.  :huh: I regret selling the other fakies too, stupid me. It was some weird "i only need hasbro ponies!"-phase..
