The hippo type fakies are one of my all-time favorite types, so I'd love to chat about them. They're always so well-made, and the 'glass' eyes are a marvelous touch. What's especially nice is that the glass eyes come in all colors. Besides the expected blue, there's dark brown, light brown/hazel, gray, and purple-blue, and that's just what's in the 8 the hippo fakies I have; I wouldn't be surprised in the least if there are hippos with green eyes, too. Here's a particularly striking hippo type with brown eyes: She's got a sister with the same hair and symbol, but their eye and body colors are different: Please post pics of your 'hippo' CPK fakies in this thread - let's share the love!

I actually noticed this with my Walgreen's fakies, as well. Most of the ones I have with "glass" eyes, the eyes are a blue black or just blue with light blue around the pupil, but one of my earths has purple with blue around the pupil, and the orange pegacorn has what might be olive green (I can't tell, since she has black stripes in the irises... some of the ponies have white ones, some have black) with yellow around her pupils. I will have to find my hippo fakie and see what color her eyes are. The pictures I currently have of her looks like they might be either blue or a purple color. The one I previously posted here (below) makes them look blue, but I have another picture on my computer where they look more purple. And my MOC Pretty Pony also has the glass style eyes, so I will check her too. I suspect that they are blue though. No eye close-ups, my camera doesn't have a macro setting.

I got the red apple one MIB yesterday with her Fruit Kiss Kids doll. They're made by Gigo toys. I paid $15 for the set, grrr. I would have asked if they had more in the back, but I ran out of money when I found the pop art G3 pony MIB.

I love CPK fakies. (Thanks, Digitalis, for the comparison photo between a real CPK pony and a CPK fakie.) My very favorite is the red apple pony that Fakiesrpeople2 mentioned.

What's weird is they make those pony family sets where every pony is a different kind of fakie. There'll be lady babies, Cabbage patch fakies (hippos), glossy G3 fakies, etc.
Anyways, I like them, except when they make them with just the Cabbage Patch head and an MLP body, like in Cherries Jubilee's pose. Grrr. Looks weird.
They also made jumbo ones like the jumbo Cabbage Patch ponies. I had a pink one with blue hair that I named Bertha. Don't know where she got to...
