I had 2 fakies as a very small child. One was a gray Remco unicorn who had rainbow hair and a white horn and hooves (or well, possibly very pale pink). She got ruined in the toybox. And this blue glow in the dark pony with a molded tail and a kinda long neck. I don't have either of them anymore. I didn't really like fakies as a kid. I got a little pink baby when I got a bit older (like the diaper babies sans diaper) that was allowed to join my herd but I customized him badly several years ago and have regreted it ever since. Now he's been long since misplaced. If I ever find him again I'm going to try my best to strip him and turn him back into himself. Anyway, I've gotten side tracked. Yesterday we went to the thrift store. I ended up with 2 fakies, a pink carousel pony and a pink Remco! She's my first Remco since I was tiny and I was as excited about her as the 2 G1s I found. I hope to eventually find a gray unicorn, like the one I used to have, but she'll do for now! Her hoof says she was made in 1986. Attachments:

Congrats on your first Remco! ^_^ Those eyes are just adorable, aren't they? I'll definitely keep an eye out for a grey uni for you, but so far I haven't found a Remco here in town. All of mine have come from teh internetz. I have one similar to the blue glow-in-the dark one that you mentioned. Mine's like....regular glow-in-the-dark color....kind of a yellowish, but you can borrow a pic if you want one for reference. I might have posted it already, though. Let me know if you need the pic.

Remco love! They are adorable. I had a gray Remco unicorn a while ago... she was one of the less-cute ones, though. I think the ones with the painted eyes are more endearing than the other kind. Lemme see if I have a picture... Ah, here! She's the one in the back. Is that like the one you had, only with different hair and hoof/horn paint? I've never seen one with the other eye style in gray...

That looks just like her except for the hair!!! I always thought the others I'd seen looked not excatly like her but it was so long ago I thought my memory was just off! But no! That was her face and it DOES look different than my new one! I'm not sure about the hoof horn paint. It was either light pink like that or white. I don't remember clearly enough. It was painted high like that too though. I was only like 6 or 7 at the most when I had her. And I remember that rainbow ponytail thingy too!
Does your yellow one have rainbow hair? My blue one had rainbow hair. I loved rainbows as a kid, still do, so I guess that's why my mom got me rainbow haired ones. I remember that blue glow in the dark one was one weird looking pony.
