'Fakie' or 'Phony' is a term coined by My Little Pony collectors for off-brand toys trying to get in on the popularity of My Little Ponies. The toys vary from exact casts of genuine ponies to toys that are barely recognizable as equine. Some collectors have even taken to collecting fakies.

Most fakies date to Generation 1, although several have appeared during Generation 3. With Generation 4 came more copies as well.

Contents

Authenticity

While most fakies at first sight may look like an exact replica, there are key features that will give away whether or not the pony is a genuine pony.

Stamps and Markings

Fakies generally do not have any markings, some may state their country of origin and some might state the production company. Generally genuine ponies will say Hasbro, country of origin and sometimes Pat. Pend., either on the bottom of their feet, inside the leg or on their bellies/rump. The exception to this rule are Nirvanas, they may for production reasons have had either or all of the above removed from their production mold where they were made. See Hoof Markings.

  • Example

  • G1 bodies usually have stamps that state year, Hasbro (sometimes Hasbro-Bradley, Estrela or Playskool - if they are nirvana), 'Pat. Pend.' (Patent Pending, for earlier releases of ponies) and country of origin. Some ponies do not disclose origin, year or production company. These ponies are usually Nirvana.

  • G3 bodies will usually have the logo, year and Hasbro stamped on their feet. Early versions of G3 had magnets in their feet that would allow them to interact with play-sets. Due to small parts Hasbro discontinued this style and later G3s instead had a relief of the logo in their body mold.

  • Later release of G3 stamps and markings, now the magnet piece is no longer included.

  • G4 ponies usually have a stamp probably for mold number, production number (?), logo, year and Hasbro, sometimes also '# Hasbro SA'.

Size and Shape

Sometimes the pony may look spot on, but upon closer inspection something looks off. Perhaps the face looks odd in shape, this may be a key that the pony is not genuine. There are a few exceptions to this rule however. South African ponies tend to have poses that are usually a blend of two ponies, which gives them a strange appearance.

Colors

Many cheap fakies usually have vibrant colors, the exception to this rule are Nirvana ponies - they may have ordinary poses and still have oddly vibrant colors.

Rooted Tails

Genuine ponies generally do not have rooted tails, they have their tails held by a washer - a metal piece securing it from the inside. However there are exceptions to this rule, South African ponies are known to have rooted tails instead of tails secured by washers.

  • Example

  • Example of a fakie tail. The hair is usually rooted into a circle shape to hide the fact that the tail isn't a plugged tail.

  • Tail of Sundance, note how the tail is a single hank plugged through a hole in the body - secured by a washer on the other side.

Paint

Generally, genuine ponies have a nice even paint and symbols are vibrant and follow a uniform style and palette. Fakies on the other hand may have paint that is unstable and may bleed or not remain stable as a solid, they usually tend to have a single color as their symbol as well. There are however a few Nirvana ponies that are prone to doing this as well, especially Greeks. The eyes are always mirrored to each other - sometimes in a musing way.

  • Example

  • General style of G1. There will most commonly be a pair of eyelashes on the upper eyelid and as well as a pair on the bottom eyelid, the eyeliner will join at the back into a single upward curving eyelash. The iris is always having an outline sharing the color with the pupil and eyeliner, sometimes it may be less protruding. The eyes have a white speck in them. Ponies can have stamped, painted or airbrushed eyes.

  • General style of G2, eyes had gemstones in them instead of white specks. They had 5 eyelashes on the upper eyelid 3 pointing back and 2 pointing forward. Their eye had 1 solid color with an outlined iris and eyeliner reaching around the entire eye.

  • General style of G3, note the similarities in how it follows a similar execution to G1. With an extra upper eyelash and an additional color line in the iris and an additional symbol in the eye, it is almost like the original style.

  • General style of G4, the eyes have gone from being painted to a stamped on look. The distinct gradient in the iris and two tone highlights is a recurring style as eyes vary - but budget versions usually just have a single solid color and one white speck.


Hoof Markings

Most ponies were stamped with a location name of origin. The most common ones are Hong Kong or China, but there is far more countries that produced ponies during the first generation. In 1997 Hong Kong came under Chinese rule, which may have changed how later ponies were stamped.[1] In 2016 Hasbro started moving certain production over to India with the 4th Generation of ponies.[2] See Hoof Markings.

Kids Corner Fakies

Fakie Applejack (left) vs. blind bag Applejack (right). All the ponies in the set, including the alicorns and Cutie Mark Crusaders, are about the same height.
Fakie Spike is about the size of a blind bag pony.

These fakies came in a bag of 12. They were most likely ordered off of Amazon in late 2017. The product's name shown on the label from Amazon starts with Kids Corner Producti… and ends with …ny more Magic Figures, but the words in the middle cannot be seen. The ponies have molded manes and tails, similar to blind bag ponies, and some of them are in similar poses to real blind bag ponies. However, all the ponies are significantly larger than the blind bag figurines, and the Spike fakie is about the same size.


Same Mold Fakies

These fakies were made using the same mold as official ponies but were not licensed by Hasbro.
