Hi! I'm Skimble, best known on the MLP Arena and sometimes on the TP by the same name, also known as fakie_goddess on LiveJournal. I'm a slightly crazy fakie collector (so much so that I've got a research project you've probably already seen devoted to the fakies of my childhood) who has about 160+ fakies ... I need to do a recount, someday. My claim to fame is that my fakie collection has outgrown both my G1 and G3 collections ... I fear the day that my fakies outnumber my Hasbro MLP herd completely!
The stars of my fakie collection are my blue Princess Rinse n' Spit and my vintage sitting Vinyl Ponies, but my favourite fakies are the babies, especially Ember-pose Fancy Pants fakies and Circus Babies. I'm most proud of the fact that I still own most of my childhood fakies!
I'm actively collecting my childhood vintage G1-styled fakies and modern fakies released in the same poses or based on these. I'll also, however, collect any fakie that appeals to me - I think all fakies deserve love and appreciation.
My other interests include MLP (lately I'm especially into Italian Nirvanas, G1 babies and So-Softs), reading and writing fantasy, and European heavy metal.
I'm also the admin around here, so if you have any questions, problems, queries, suggestions, etc, please feel free to PM me!

Well, if a certain green pegacorn happens to go missing from your shelves in retaliation ... nope, wasn't me! ;D

Skimble! There's nothing crazy about the fakie-collecting. They have a lot of personality! Thank you for spreading the fakie-bug... gives me something to focus on other than the G3 line and the G1s that I'll never be able to afford. *cough* What Italian Nirvanas are you looking for? I have two that I want to send to better homes... collecting Nirvanas is getting to be a costly habit, so it's time to move on to... less money-consuming past times.

I couldn't agree with you more, Veda, fakies are so much more affordable than nirvanas! And they're always needing a home to be loved!

Oh, I wasn't describing fakie collecting crazy, just myself as crazy... I couldn't agree more, though, fakies have oodles of personality ... and at way better prices. Plus they're so unendingly interesting, I think that's what I find most appealing... At risk of sounding flippant ... cheap Italians! I'm not into the expensive variants (Applebelle, Magenta Blossom, etc, etc) but I really like the common Italian versions of classic ponies, they just seem to excude a sense of classic-ness that I find wonderfully appealing. And their sad blue eyes ... just GET me! At the moment, I think Italian Bubbles and Bow Tie should be my next wants... *tries to pry a green pegacorn out of KK's death-grip*

Oh, well. I can neither confirm nor deny your craziness. You're right about fakies, though! *sneakily pokes Arena gallery* Italian Bubbles, huh?
