Some cute G4 fakies I found at a thrift store today. I didn’t get them though I kinda wanted that purple and green one.
Guest, The MLPTP's Fundraiser and Prize Giveaway will be returning on June 1st! Check out this thread for all the latest news!
I have a couple of those. It's the first time I've seen the articulated ones. ^^
I nabbed this pic of the display a while back (and forgot about it lol), but there’s a white one with purple hair, an all-pink one and a pink with purple hair. I didn’t see the white with pink hair but she probably does exist ^^Her face reminds me of a G2. I wonder what other colors this mould may come in?

I like the natural colour scheme :OFakies in ASDA and this one in the charity shop had “1984 Lanard” on the hoof

Me too, that’s what made me notice that pony I think. Reminds me of JennyI like the natural colour scheme :O
She's a Darlin' Dino! Very cute if a little goofy lolThese little figures are clearly based off blind bags or Egmont’s figures, no?

And I just need to post this dinosaur. I know this is mainly for fakie ponies but the hair here just makes me think of Pony Friends.

This groovy lass is seriously giving me Barney the Dinosaur vibes. I don’t know who she is but I like the little back crease.
Oh, and she sort of reminds me of Queen Camilla in Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys
Oh wow! Thats interesting. “Made in Italy” yet found in the UK? Interesting!She's a Darlin' Dino! Very cute if a little goofy lol
That is an unusual toy. Looks old fashionedDoes it count as a fakie if it came before MLP lol? I Found this lovely Edward Mobley Arrow Rubber sqeaker pony while thrifting. I'm not familiar at all with rubber toys but for $15 I decided to roll the dice. I did a quick surface clean I think it was definitely worth the gamble! Gonna have to reasearch some more because I don't wanna mess up the airbrushing while trying to get rid of stains.

Rubber toys were popular, I wanna say, 50's through the 80's. Especially rubber face toys like Rushton (if you wanna feel better about pony collecting check Rushton prices lol). This pony is from 1967! You could say it's a MLP ancestor, toy design wise.That is an unusual toy. Looks old fashioned
You can kinda tell from the photos, but getting rid of the surface dirt really made a difference. I'd really like to give her an Oxiclean bath but I don't trust myself not to ruin the squeaker or sleepy eyes. Ditto on using a magic eraser.Pretty! I hope it cleans up well
Hmm maybe instead of an oxi bath you could put some on a toothbrush and scrub it that way? Then you can avoid the eyes and squeakerRubber toys were popular, I wanna say, 50's through the 80's.

Yeah, that was my 2nd thought. I'm pretty sure I can pop the head off without damaging anything so I might do that to see what I'm working with on the inside. There are a few spots that if they were on a MLP I would think were moldHmm maybe instead of an oxi bath you could put some on a toothbrush and scrub it that way?
