Maybe the first one is a Lovely Neddy demondonkey. Somebody definately needs to get one of those moc and do an analysis.

I love the first one - if you remember where you got her please let us know! I'd like to add one to my collection. I have a similar one (styling) MIB (photo in MIB MOC photo thread), but the pose is different. Congrats on your first fakies - they are addicting! (Moreso now than ever because MLP have become redundant, IMHO).

I'll pop into the store I got the G3 fakie from and take a picture of her box if you like. I bought her from a newsagent's near me called Martins ( www.martinmccoll.co.uk/), on the shelves were her and a very very similar blue/perhaps greeny-blue? one in the same pose, I didn't stop to look but I will very soon. The box had images of G1 and G3 My Little Ponies (they didn't appear to be look alikes, I think pictures of actual My Little Ponies were used) on it and a very similar logo to the G3 My Little Ponies, I bought her accidentaly without looking closely at the box. I love 'fakies', I think most don't deserve to be called 'copies' and 'fakies', however this one looks like it's trying to be something it's not, so I think it deserves the title 'fakie'. Her tail is threaded, thin and short, she was kinda dirty when I removed her from the box and the packaging was starting to fall apart (the little brushes etc. were just rattling around in there), she has no symbol(s), no hoof marking(s), a thin mane, the material she is made of is thinner than most ponies and squashes easily, I braided her hair simply to keep it from getting knotted, she has a small mark on her back right hoof (not visible in the photograph, I think it's permanent).

Hey it would be really neat to see them in their original boxes! In fact, I'd love to buy some from you - if you'd be willing to buy one of each color, mib. Let me know what you think and thanks for sharing these photos!

Since people started asking, I have been spending hours searching online for pony toys in the hopes of finding that pony. This morning when I was putting out the trash ready to be collected I had to chase my cat away from the wheelie bin as he was sniffing around in there - the little [insert insult/swear word here] scattered bits of litter when he ran away, as I was picking it up I found part of the box. The pony is according to the box from: www.bjtoys.co.uk/index.aspBut weirdly enough she isn't on that website. I can't find anything on the internet about the ponies, I'll go take pictures of them MIB at Martins later this week. bebedasha - I am interested in selling this fakie, I'm also willing to buy both ponies MIB and sell them to you. The pony pictured above I am willing to sell for whatever you offer me for it as I collect G3 My Little Ponies and bought her accidentally without looking closely at the box (G3 My Little Pony fakies don't really interest me).

I would be very interested in getting some MIB - whenever you get a chance please let me know how much they cost and of course, I'll definitely send enough to cover your time and shipping as well. Are you in the US? I've never heard of Martian's before! I can't wait to see the MIB ponies!

Awesome! I'm from the UK, South-West. In the pictures, the price sticker is shown, she cost me £6.99p but I will take lower offers. If you're also interested in the pony already pictured, bear in mind the small but permanent mark on her right back hoof, also the lower quality of material she is made of, squashes easily. [EDIT] Today I bought 2 more of these ponies, one pink and one blue/green for you bebedasha. I thought I'd include these last pictures so you know I'm being honest about how much I paid for them: Part of the boxes showing the price stickers: Receipt slip showing prices and date pf purchase:

Wow, Marco's art is appearing on fakie boxes now. I guess so many people just think it is Hasbro art, and figure "hey, if we are ripping off* their plastic pony poses, why not take their artwork, too?"
*I love fakies, but you have to admit, some of them are pure rip-offs of Hasbro property.
Edit to add: Nice finds though! Sorry my post is kind of negative, it wasn't aimed at you. Besides, I wouldn't mind finding one of these girls myself, lol!

@ bebedasha: Not heard anything back from you for a while so I'm going to assume you're not interested. @ digitalis: I don't really like these anyway... Bought the first one accidentally because she is a pretty convincing fakie. I don't collect G3 fakies, I only collect actual My Little Ponies and so called 'fakies'. And relax, I know your post wasn't aimed at me, besides, you're entitled to your opinion(s).

Hmmm...those G3 fakies, are they available in other colours? I bought two G3 fakies, slightly different poses, but exact same colours and only in these colours! I wonder, are pink and turquoise like...the most popular colour for these ponies at the moment? Hehe!

As I've only seen these ponies in two different colours and I have not found anything about them on the internet, I presume they only come in these two colours. I'd really like a yellow one .

Not enough yellow ponies in the world... we need more!

Agreed! A lemon yellow one would be a dream!
