Okay here they are, my collection to this point. I have named them all after flowers because, well, that's part of the fun of fakies. New fakies at the bottom. The new and improved Crumpet Cabaret! The recent Big Lots ponies: Bluebell Kale Peach Petunia Wisteria Nice find for one day, eh? The next two are in process of restoration, Buttercup is pretty much done, I will add more hair to her tail alter. The seller said they were her child's toys and that her child is now grown up, so that suggests possible vintage-ness. Buttercup Canna Lily I adore her! Her hair was so old it disinegrated at the barest touch. She is getting new hair in a similar slightly more luscious color of red. Last Night's thrift find (one of the most famous ones I think) Tulip I gave her a "new" tail from donor MLP hair to keep her fakie-ness in tact. 7/8 An alternate Tulip! The hooves are a much lighter blue! And THANK YOU SHELLEBELLE she arrived today!! Cosmos Thank you WickedWonderland (Arena) Iris Thank you Kanthaka! Lotus Hydrangea Thank you Shellebelle! Daylily Buttercup B (I wanted one to compare to Buttercup A) Thanks Goldilocks (Arena)! From Finland: Rhododendron (soon to be getting new hair) Snapdragon Begonia (New Hair) Gloxinia (with new hair) Thank you Aessedai: Chrysanthemum Ladybell Orchid Sedum 7/8 BLUE!! Delphinium Morning Glory (So gorgeous!) 7/22 Hyssop from the UK And for those who made it all the way to the end..... Still on the hunt as ever!

*whips out towel and starts mopping the place up* The red one, Canna Lily, is gorgeous, but I love Kale - that green colour and the purple hair reminds me of Hopscotch, who I love. She's beautiful!
It's really cool to see the unique non-hearts symbols of some of those ponies, they're really awesome!

I *think* there may be a few green ones in stores, should I grab some for ya? Maybe. I'm gonna run to my BigLots to see if they have any, since it would be a lot cheaper to just pick them up here in town. But if I can't find any, I'll definately let you know within a few days.

If anyone finds a green one in the search of Big Lots, LMK, okay? I'll be doing some enforced overtime next week, so I think I might as well treat myself with a gorgeous fakie!
Shelle - give us PICS! *makes beggy eyes*

Ooooh, Cosmos is amazing! I haven't seen any of the sparkly ones at Zellers, though I've seen the most of the others (except for the last two with the hair the same color as the bodies), both with and without painted hooves, at Zellers (in Canada). Don't have the purple and the green, as they weren't there when I went back to get them, but my Bitterblossom (like your Bluebell) is my favorite! ETA: In addition to the painted or not painted hooves, the same body ponies seem to have different hair variants - my Bitterblossom has more white in her mane than Bluebell... I have an extra one of her, both the yellow/multi and yellow/purple variants (though I'd want to keep one, just not sure which), and a Not!Peachy available, for anyone that wants one and can't find them locally, though shipping from Canada's not exactly cheap, and the ponies themselves cost nearly as much as a real MLP (though much less freaky than the new G4s!). But they are available, if anyone wants.

, and a Not!Peachy available I just snorted at that. And since I have a cold ... it wasn't pretty. But that's the BEST name for her! Wow, it's so interesting to see that these guys have their variants too...
