Anyone recognise these mini figures?

Hi guys,

I ordered a bundle of 10 mini ponies a year or so ago, I know that 8 of them are from the MLP blind bags, but these two are a mystery to me!

I can't find any other figures that look even remotely like them, apart from the the glittery blind bag ponies. However these don't have glitter at all, so I'm stumped!

I seem to have a translucent orange Pinkie Pie and a translucent purple Rainbow Dash. (see photo)

They're just dumb little mini figures but it's been bugging me!

Ideas?

TIA

Molly

I wonder if they are the fakies you can get from Tuesday morning that come in the tube from China. The eyes are all wrong so I say fakie. Fakies usually don't have the typical marks that the blind bag ponies have from hasbro. The pinkie pie version looks like a fakie. I am not positive about the other one. Look for a serial number on the hoof do you see any?

They look a lot like the Basic Fun keychain figures.

I have the Rainbow and Pinkie Pie ones, got them from TRU back in 2011. Perhaps these are knockoffs of those?

Definitely based on the keychain molds. There were some listings on eBay and Taobao that had them in different colors and were deemed most likely fakies: https://www.mlpmerch.com/2014/08/possible-basic-fun-keychain-prototypes.html

I concur on fakies.

Def fakies. I bought a set of 9 of them that had Pinkie, Applejack and Rainbow, each in blue, gold and pink. They're from the keychains from Basic Fun's molds as I have some of those as well and the mold is identical.

They're super cute and fun to have though!
