Fakies - Big Fakintosh and the Fauxcomotive!
« on: September 02, 2012, 03:40:35 PM »
Apologies if these have been seen before, but I spotted Big Mac and Steamer fakies today at the flea market, and had to drag them home with me! Both of them have those big creepy glass eyes and hippo faces!

Oh, I've seen that "Big Mac" fakie before, but I didn't buy it...I's so glad to see someone else got one to show!

I have that Big Mac in package with his doll. He's a GiGo brand Fruit Kiss Kids pony I paid $12 for so he wasn't cheap. The other one is a Walmart Kid Connection pony.

Both those fakies use moulds that have been floating around for ages and copied by a number of companies over the years. As mentioned, the Big Mac one is a copy of the original Magic Meadow Ponies that Hasbro produced for Cabbage Patch Kids. Quite scary with the glass eyes added, but strangely they grow on you. I have a few of them now including that one. I found mine long before Big Mac was around so he's not directly copied. Havacrumpet, thank you for the information, I have wondered about them for a while.

The other one, again as mentioned, is the same mould as what's used in Walmart fakies currently, but I've only ever seen flowers and such on them, never a train! You may have noticed that the body was copied from a Tootsie pose G1, but I'm not certain where the head came from.

Here's some pictures of mine:
