Soo... WHO are they?? (Argies?)
« on: February 11, 2014, 08:30:50 PM »
So yeah, I was poking around on Argentina Mercado Libre when I came across a listing for these two:

I can't say I've ever seen them before... although I am admittedly new to the variant world. (I've been oogling bunches of Nirvana ponies all week though!) Anyone know anything? Are they just fakies made with Hasbro molds? Or legit (yet wonky) ponies?

They look like Argie fakies to me.  I've seen similar poses and paint, although the plastic color was different.

Ahh I suspected so, since the eyes looked kind of meh. They're fairly cheap... only around $10 US. Interesting anyway. ^^

They are claimed to be fakies, but has anyone ever seen them MOC or in package? I'm still not 100% positive they are true fakies, I mean, look at the piggy ponies, everyone thought they were fakies. Does anyone have any fakies that have hasbro stamps? I know there is always talk about it and how it's easy to make a cast from an existing pony, but even the fakies that have done that atleast remove the hasbro that I have seen.

They say Hasbro so i don't no if they are fakies. Some nirvanas do look pretty weird like mermaid said the piggy ponies are odd. So these could be legit :P

They do look like Argie fakies. I'm not 100% sure if they have been found MOC, but I thought they had. It was a bit different with piggies as they were SO different, but had the same characters.

I saw them on package many many years ago. They were sold in a plastic bag, with no mlp logo on them and you could get them on kiosks, not in toyshops like the original mlps

Anyone know how the site works? I thought since they were affiliated with eBay that my login info would work, but apparently not. :/

You have to register there, and make sure your seller will ship to you before you bid, since they do not take Paypal.  Or, they didn't used to be able to.

I'm sure I've seen them sold in bags, similar to the squeaky Venuzelan ponies :)

They are considered fakies, but that doesn't make them any less interesting :)
