Pinkie Pie - well a Pinkie Pie with wings, so a My Little Fauxnie - lies upon chips.

In Paignton, in Devon, England.

Look at these janky guys. 99% sure they’re bootlegs as theres no copyright information on them whatsoever. Might give them to my neice (she gets all my fakies lol. I’m a horrible aunt who keeps all the real ponies for myself)

went to the mall with my bf yesterday and found so many strange fakies (and other knock offs)

back on my gs (goodwillshopping)

as you know every time i see a very high priced MLP collection go up on goodwillshopping i need to check it out

and today there were a few at high prices!

The first one is easy enough to suss out. It has mimic:

From what I can tell, she's in good condition, too, no visible scratches or stains. I'm guessing the people purchasing this lot are just buying it because mimic is valuable (as far as people can tell mimic is valuable but common, so there are tons of listings for her and she sells for very high prices), but it has some other cool stuff too:

This appears to be a full set of sparkle ponies- all 6 are in there. Star Hopper has a cool UFO and is the priciest of them, and it also looks like she's the mail order version.

There are a lot of ponies with clothes on, which is sweet because I understand that sometimes they got lost, but especially in the case of these two: Lavender Satin n Lace and Lucky the Stallion. Lavender is a wedding themed pony and Lucky is the ringbearer. No sign of her hubby though! sad.

More ponies under cut

Other fun lots (these next few aren't $$$ lots they're currently at like $20 in bidding):

this one has some so soft ponies, which collectors don't generally like, but i love them and i particularly am a fan of Twilight (top left), plus it has two Bubbles (sitting pose)

this lot has a bunch of random ponies including tossles (left, pink and blue pony) who I love, and one of the Fairy Tails, which is like a spinoff line of MLP. I hope a collector who cares about the Fairy Tails snags that one because it looks to be in really good quality with its original stand. It would look SO cute next to a Mimic.

this one lot has a bunch of random ponies and steamer, one of the Big Brother Ponies, which is awesome <3

This one doesnt have any bids but is an eclectic collection with Bride Pony (very top), Hula Hula (colorful tropical ponies), a couple baby sparkle ponies and some others. They're all in rough shape but it is sweet. In my heart Bride Pony and Hula Hula are a femme/butch couple.

at first I thought this lot had g2 ponies, but no, the skinny ponies are the Sweetheart Sisters pose. Includes Wigwam, the famously problematic Big Brother pony (he has a tepee as his mark)

This lot is just the Petite Ponies, which you may know I love, including some with the nylon hair tails AND some with translucent bodies. I'm always charmed to know someone is going to want these teeny ponies.

This is from a small lot of like 5 ponies and I just thought it was funny how bad her hair is. But then I was looking it up and I'm not sure who this pony is- my best guess is this is Braided Beauty, but the pink in her hair has completely faded out.

This one was recently posted and has few bids at the time I'm looking at it but its got some cute gems: Party Time and Locket are both really pretty twinkle eyed ponies, Bubblefish who has a 3D fishbowl on her side, and a lot of baby sparkle ponies as well as the somewhat creepy "beddy bye eye" ponies who have inset, open-and-close eyes. There's even a Fairy Tail bird in there!

Most of the ponies in the above collection are in ok condition but it looks like someone lit one of the Sweetheart Sisters on FIRE:

In case you're wondering, the reason there was a post that was like $101 is just because there's ANOTHER mimic in that batch:

And lest you think I only care about the 1980s ponies (which is mostly true), it is kind of fun to look at what else there is, for example:

this batch was mysteriously labeled Equestria girls, but is mostly made up of Fakie My Little Ponies and one on-brand Pinkie Pie. Idr what this line of fakies is called but they're some of the highest quality, cutest (imo) and most common fakies on the market.

I *mostly* dont care for the g4 pony toys but i have a big Twilight Sparkle I found at Goodwill and I'd be happy to have matching Luna and Celestia toys for her. (most of the g4 toys were very small, these are like the bigger versions)

bitter about the way g5 is going and how hasbro is handling the brand. here is my complaints to my friend

. I rewatched the Make Your Mark series-well, I'm still rewatching it, but I rewatched the first three episodes (not the 40-minute long snooze-fest that is Chapter One). The first two episodes are so...incompetent? They're all over the place and make no sense, do not effectively convey their conflicts, do not show their characters well. I've been watching through more FIM episodes at work and stuff, and it is surprising how well season one holds up. The stories are tight, the characters are shown well, and it's overall so earnest and fun. G5...not so much? The movie was so cute, but I feel like they're taking the characters away from that and towards something else. It's like they don't know what to do with Izzy, she just feels like another Pinkie Pie. In the movie, she was so...quirky but kind? Hitch is a whiner now, although he's always been my least favorite, so no surprises there. They make Zipp a walking single joke with her "detective" shtick. Pipp is GREAT, but I think they need to give her moments of vulnerability. Sunny seems to just not do much...the third episode is so much better, but I don't think the story is very good for the show. :( I wanted the show to be so good.

[7:46 PM]2. The toys...I did not buy anything from the Summer/Winter releases of 2022...I bought the 6-inch Jazz Hooves, but that's it. Nothing else interests me. Where's the brushable hair? The new characters? :( It's really upsetting!! I felt really burned out on G5 (and MLP a bit) for a while because of the toys being so bad. I'm rekindling my earlier MLP love, getting around to thrifting and cleaning G1/G3 and finding retro pony merch is so fun, and I do love MLP so much! I'm even starting to look around at fakies for my cute horse fix. The current toys are just so bland.

[7:47 PM]3. Hasbro has demoted the brand. They segment their brands into a few categories: Franchise (this is where MLP was during G4, this is the top!), Portfolio (brands that are doing well but they want to do better), and Emerging (I think they may have renamed this to something else). MLP was demoted to Portfolio. Like, duh, no one is buying your toys and your show stinks! No one cares!

Omg so I went to Daiso today and spotted these knock-off “My Pony” stickers and look how cheekily close to the original designs they are hahhaha. The main differences are some colour and cutie mark changes... Except for Spike- his ear fins have become wings... ? Such a cute art style though! Sadly no Applejack :(

March is the month of My Little Phony!

Here is  Pinkie Phony Pie (since when has Pinkie stuck a purple unicorn horn on herself? But that does sound like something she might do...) among a gang of legit Pinkies Pie.

At King Doniert’s Stone, in Cornwall, England.

PONY & HOUS 

(no pony)

lmao I bought this cheap knockoff toy in spain because I want to use the castle in a craft project and I just think it's funny that all the art and writing on the box (pony and hous, funny happily pony, fashion pony - collect them all) seems to suggest there should be a pony in here... but there's not. It's just a horrendous fairy toy instead. Look at her. She's terrible.

anyway there's some sweet g3 knockoff art on the back that I want to use in card making but that big white tape square won't really come off so I won't get to use the little tea party scene back there :(
