today i bought my first fakie NOT to be used for modification purposes. i was at the bargain store and - when i saw it, my heart kind of leapt through my throat. the label says "dream collection horse family set". it's a mother horse and a baby horse. and they are so sweet. they came with little beads and elastics and was only 4.97$. so i bought it and it's lovely. the packaging is weird, though. i mean - well, i'm in canada, so our packages have the information in english and french. and the packaging of this fakie IS in english and french - except for the translation of "Horse Family Set." in french, "horse family set" should translate into "La Famille des Chevals". instead, they have it translated as "Familia de Caballos." which is Spanish, not French. so i find it kind of weird that the packaging is in english/french . . . with the name of the set in spanish, instead of french. i read the rest of the package to see if there was any more spanish but there wasn't. please excuse the shoddy cell phone picture, i lent my camera to my dad for the weekend.

Gorgeous! I didn't know they existed in those colours, so I'm thrilled to see them! May I use the pic for my wishlist? As for the Spanish, that's totally normal for Gigo Toys, who make a wide range of different fakie pony sets under the Dream Collection label (and others.) Off the top of my head, I can't remember how many languages were on the US releases, but I think Spanish was one. My guess is that they just didn't bother to completely modify the packaging for the Canadian release, that's all.

Great find! I think that's the first time I've seen a mom and baby set MOC.

skimble: you can most definately use the picture. sorry that it's so blurry! i'll be taking proper pictures of them when i get my own camera back - but i've already opened them. i'd have waited if i had seen this post eariler and thanks for the language information! Knotty Kitty: what does MOC mean? i'm guessing mint on card - but i could be wrong? the reason i bought it, i think, is because of the baby pony. she was just so sweet - and i was so envious, looking at everyone's collection pictures, because i saw so many adorable baby ponies and i wanted one as well, and this one looks close enough to the pics i saw!
