Happy Fakie Friday! Today I'd like to talk about my personal definition of what makes a toy a "fakie", as I've had people bridle (hee hee) at some of my Fakie Friday picks in the past.

First, let's talk about what doesn't define a fakie.

A fakie doesn't have to be a bootleg (though they can be).

A fakie doesn't have to be made by an unknown, fly-by-night company. Remco was founded in 1949, Buddy L's toy division was founded in 1921.

A fakie doesn't have to have incomprehensible or poorly designed packaging.

A fakie doesn't have to be a poor quality or poorly thought out toy.

Okay, so what IS a fakie?

Fakies aren't about non-Hasbro horse toys being "bad" and Hasbro horse toys being "good"; it's about how impactful the My Little Pony brand is. Even in the years where the toyline was completely dormant, your average joe would look at a rainbow horse with a heart on its bum and think "My Little Pony."

^ This horse in Hercules isn't proportioned like a MLP at all but in the Year of Our Lord 1997 everyone was talking about "the scene where Pegasus was almost seduced by a My Little Pony." (Though the pink horse was actually the bad guys in disguise.)

I love fakies! But no matter how innovative and high quality are, they cannot escape being compared to the platonic ideal: a Real My Little Pony.

So here is my ultimate test of whether a toy horse is a fakie:

Throw away its packaging. Lose all its accessories. Toss it in a baggie with random small toys and hang it on a hook in Savers, Value Village, or Goodwill.

If your elderly relative who knows nothing about toys points out the baggie and says to you, the collector: "Oh, here's one with a My Little Pony in it", then it's a fakie. ;)

personal favourite missy eu moment

[image ID : two panels of a comic showing missy from doctor who - a white woman against a pale green background. in the first panel, we see her face from just below her eyes down - a long nose and darkly lipsticked lips, and a curl of dark brown hair. she is wearing a blue victorian style dress jacket with a collar trimmed in a darker blue braid and puffed sleeves. her hand, in a lighter blue glove, touches her blue and yellow-striped cravat, which has been slashed and ripped. in the second panel, missy is shouting in annoyance 'oh no. no no no. you didn't' - her mouth open wide and her light blue eyes wide, arched eyebrows. we can now see that her hair is done up in victorian style, though a few strands have come loose, and is wearing a blue hat with two little yellow fake ducks on it.

an illustrated comic book panel of missy from doctor who - a white woman with strong cheekbones and brown hair, mostly hidden by the top of the frame, where the brim of a blue hat is also visible. she is looking annoyed and slightly petulant, her hands (one light blue glove and one bright yellow glove) raised around her face in exasperation. her sculpted eyebrows are furrowed and her mouth is open to indicate the speech. she is wearing a blue victorian-style dress jacket with a collar and puffed sleeves over a white blouse with a and blue-and-yellow striped cravat. she is saying 'My whimsical accessories! How am I supposed to be doctor who without my whimsical accessories?!' end ID]
