I've decided to make this post purely and solely for the purpose of obtaining my grail fakie. (I do collect Totsy and Buddy L as well). I actually own my grail, but she is in poor shape. She's been chewed and flattened. I've done the best I can to make her look nice again, but I simply want an unchewed and unflattened one. I will pay HANDSOMELY for this pony! Please have a look at her photos! Thank you! PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU FIND HER, (and if you have Totsy and Buddy L for sale... )

Just a bump... wanted to let you know, yes indeed there is one on Ebay for sale, (I've gotten a few PMs from observant members... thank you all so much)! Unfortunately the seller went from asking 9.99 to 29.99, (plus 19.99 shipping)! I am unable to convince her to go any lower... and that is just out of my price range, especially since hers does not have the hearts on her rear... So, I am willing to offer, (as a start) $25.00 to anyone who can/will locate and sell this pony to me. I still want her desperately ($50 is just too much for me right now - I was hoping to get her with some Birthday funds but the auction ENDS on my birthday!)!! Go figure! Again, thank you to all of the thoughtful women out there who thought of me when they found the Ebay unicorn and PMed... I really appreciate it!

Thank you! I will definitely pay well for this horse... but $50 combined is just a little much for me, so if you or anyone else gets ahold of it, please keep me in mind... I am still actively looking!!!

Aww, I was about to PM you the ebay link. Good thing I checked this thread first. Maybe if the BIN ends with no purchase, she'll relist it for cheaper?

I'm hoping so. The auction ends on my birthday. I had PMed her when she relisted it, asking if she would sell it for the original price she asked ($9.99) but she declined. I'm a little lost as to why she'd relist it at $29.99 when it didn't sell for $9.99? ?? (If I had seen it before the auction ended I certainly would have bought it then)! ::facepalm:: Thanks for thinking of me. So many thoughtful ladies have PMed me to let me know about this Unicorn. I am still holding out hope that someone will find one in a thrift store or yard sale and let it go for a little less than $29.99!!

I know I was in my pony room tonight taking pics of my gals & I was wondering the same thing. I sure hope you did. I know how awesome it is to win those grails!
But bah...haven't had a whole lot of luck lately with getting the "super wants".

DB - You have a PM, m'lady. And YES! I did win her! (YAY)! The excitement was unfortunately short-lived, however, when I saw that the seller had placed her in a box that was too small and saran-wrapped the heck out of her. Now her head hangs down and there is a monster gap in her neck... See photos... and keep in mind, I WILL WANT MORE!!!! How she arrived: Minus the Saran-Wrap and replaced in the box... Talk about squished! The gap in her neck, (as compared with my other one, in the background)... Mine placed over the box, showing how she wouldn't fit without becoming a contortionist... My original (on the left), and 'Squishy', on the right Perhaps most perplexing: Ebay says the item location is Lima, Peru... however the box arrived from Canada! (And I over-paid on shipping, nearly $7.00!!) I am still happy to have her, even though she isn't perfect. Still gonna be looking for more, though, so ya'll keep your eyes peeled!

I'm so, so happy you finally got her but wow...the horrible packaging! I'd PM the seller & show the pics how the crappy pack job they did resulted in messing the item up. Also uhh where did that extra $7.00 go? Um the tiny box (had the box already been used)? The Saran Wrap? If I was a seller, I'd fix this problem pronto! They should refund you that. That is odd it stated the item was from Peru but wound up coming from Canada....maybe the seller just moved & hasn't updated their seller info? Does your Grail pony come in any other colors besides green? I love the green combo by the way...but just wondering if I should be on the lookout for any other shades for ya. A pale orange with bright orange hair would be gorgeous!!! Did she come from a particular line do you know? Could you do a head swap on the two? That way you could have one that's in really good condition? And then you could have her gap neck, chewed foot cousin too

BUT, my original one is the one with the pink hearts on her butt, and Squishy seems to have never had them, or they've been rubbed off with no trace left of them. Squishy has also had a hair cut and tail trim, (something I didn't pick up from the photos). Oh well... I'd still love to find more... and from what I hear (Ghost of the Doll) there is a pink Donkey-type one that also exists, but I've never seen it. They were made by Porto Play in 1984, but I don't know anything else about them. Maybe is I ever do get more I'll customize one... actually I'm already itchy to do it since I have a 2nd one... but ya I'm trying to wait until I get more. I'd love an ORANGE one! That's my fav color, (well, that and yellow)! LOL
