Today I had a surprise visit from the postman--I wasn't expecting anything since my latest pony purchases were from the UK and they probably won't be here for at least a week yet. To my surprise he handed me a package from Austria--a lot of fakies I bought back in June and had given up hope of ever seeing. They took so long I thought they were lost in the mail! I'm sure the seller will be relieved, too. **jumps up and down** I haven't cleaned them up yet and they do smell as though they've been in a smoker's home, but I don't care I am so thrilled to have this lot. I believe they are all vintage, and I suspect one or two might glow in the dark--will have to give them a test and see . I know most are pretty unremarkable (fakie remco fakies, etc.), but I have really wanted a takara baby and forked over a lot for postage and international bank transfer fees hoping that selling the others would pay for just one for me! Most or all of the others will be for sale... here they are!

Update: SIX of them glow in the dark! The adult donkey one in the upper right, the three donkey babies (two pink, one blue), one of the white Remco knockoffs, and I think the white baby Remco knockoff, too. It's kind of cute--the seller thought the takaras were little bears and said (rough translation; my German is rusty) "I think there is a deer in the lot, too". I'm assuming she meant the adult donkey one....

(rough translation; my German is rusty) "I think there is a deer in the lot, too". I speak German; I could translate. These are all so amazing! I'm glad they all went to a good fakie-loving home.

0_0 THREE Takara babies? No matter what you paid for that lot, I'm betting you got a hell of a deal. Huge gigantic congrats! Pretty sweet about the glow in the dark ones, too.

WOW! thee takaras! that must have been so exiting after thinking they were lost. huge congrats! and that's so neat that some of them glow in the dark. I can sorta see how they would think the donkey fakie is a deer
