What do I call these?
« on: August 07, 2012, 03:33:04 AM »
I found a whole stash of these dollarstore fake MLPs from back when I thought I could customize that look like the g1 newborns, but I can't figure out what they're called to check out what they go for on ebay. All my search terms failed.

You should post a picture of them so we can see exactly what you're talking about. DG fakie babies look like G1 babies.

sounds like the ones we term dollar general babies or dg babies. They are excedingly popular for customs.

I think most people just call them newborn fakies with the occasional reference to dollar store in the title as thats where the majority seem to come from - to be honest there doesnt tend to be loads of them pop up on ebay any more and when they do they sell better in little lots. I would price them a little under an average newborn bait.

Cool, thanks! I wasn't sure where it would go and made my best guess since it was a selling thing.

I'll post a picture in just a moment too.

Yeah. The only thing that makes it bittersweet is that they were hidden away so well because my original plans to make tons of customs... never worked out. Anyway, I know enough to put them on ebay now. Huzzah.

They are adorable :) You will probably get lots of interest from customisers :)

Here's hoping! I don't sell online very often, so... *crosses fingers* I hope it's easier by the time I've run out of them.

the DG fakies are very popular with customizers! :) They make cute little customs, and they have a great variety of colors available.
