Look who I found @ Dollar Tree!! :D
« on: March 22, 2014, 12:06:21 PM »
It's really been a very long time since I've seen any G3 pose/mold fakies at the dollar store and I was very pleasantly delighted to see these lovely girls peeking out at me from the toy aisle. There were two different sets pink/purple and white/blue. I decided to get the white/blue because they reminded me of G1 color scheme for Sundance and Bowtie! :happy:

I haven't been on the Arena in a few months so I'm not sure if this was posted about yet but I just wanted to share my pony find with those that would actually find it interesting. The hair is rooted in the tails as per usual for Dollar Store fakies. I still think they are cute. The last time they had G3 mold fakies were the glitter/sparkle ones with stickers if I remember correctly and that was quite awhile ago. The last pony-like item I spied there was the G3.5 glitter fakies and even though I bought a few I really do love these much better. It's also a better value because you get two in a package.  They aren't standard G3 size though but much smaller. Almost like they are meant to be baby or little sister ponies.  :blink:

Be sure to check your local Dollar Trees if you want some of these cuties to add to your fakie collection. I'm always excited to find fakies that actually resemble the older genuine poines just for nostalgic value. :silly:

Wow, those are pretty cute fakies! They do look very G3ish. :) I don't know if I'm interested in buying fakies, but those are really nice-looking for just a dollar! I'll probably check the local Dollar Tree for curiosity's sake.

How are Dollar Tree fakies for sturdiness and durability? I wouldn't really expect dollar toys to hold up very well, but I guess sometimes they could surprise.

I was at Spring volunteer event earlier today that my job hosted where we had games set up for the kids and we had given a set of those away to a little girl as a prize.

I was wondering where those came from, They looked kinda cool for Fakies.

I ordered several sets but only got the blue/white ones for some reason.  Very thin plastic, cheap hair, about the size of a G4.  But they make really fun baits!

I have a couple of these just for fun. There is writing on one side of their body, but it mostly comes off with acetone.

I think those are cute!
I found a big tube full of tiny, G3-molded ponies at a Pound Stretcher in the UK. Anyone else seen it who live here?
