Dose Filly Princess count as a fakie?

I guess that's your choice. I think the term fakie has been used for years for the ponies that are copies of MLP, those made with the illegal and sold molds. 

I see Filly Princess at Target all the time.

Personally, I consider any non-Hasbro, non-realistic, pastel/rainbow colored plastic ponies to be fakies, regardless of quality.   Because Hasbro really was the first, the very first, to put pony + bubbly body + unrealistic colors together, as far as I know.   I think even the Lisa Frank unicorns came after the debut of MLP.

Of course by now the idea is mainstream, but when I was growing up it was always a choice between "Hasbro ponies" and "those other ones."   So I understand that some people judge fakies by quality, but to me any non-Hasbro fantasy, (presumed to be) sapient pony is a fakie.

As far as the Filly Princess ponies go--super cute, but definitely copying G3 IMO.

I use the term fakie for anything not MLP, but for me, it doesn't always mean they're of poor quality.

I love Filly Princess, but I love the original Filly series more. I have a couple of plushies, as well as a magazine from France. They're very popular near me too.

Not sure about their unicorns but the Lisa Frank company was founded in 1979

I can see how they're copying G3.
