The pink one in the third picture (I assume you mean the sitting one) is a takara fakie baby.
Hasbro released a different kind of MLP in Japan through the Takara toy company. The adult ponies were standing ponies with moveable arms and legs and had distinctive painted eyes and muzzles. One or two have been found MIB, so we are sure they are genuine MLP. Takara also made sets of cute little outfits for these ponies, and some of these have been found MIB as well.
Toy catalogs have been found with pictures of babies, similar to the fakie you have, but no one has ever found a real Takara baby. Apparently fakie companies got hold of the molds or made molds from prototypes. These babies are vintage, as far as I have been able to determine, and were released in Argentina and parts of Western Europe. We are aware of one MOC set of these--it came from Argentina and had two takara fakies plus a remco fakie knockoff, if I remember correctly.
Plastic and hair quality varies quite a bit--many have only one row of mane and bang plugs and no tail, and the plastic often has bubbles and even holes. Marks on the plastic indicate that they were supposed to have tails, a double row of mane plugs, and a double row of plugs for bangs. They have been found in a variety of colors including yellow, light pink, periwinkle blue, aqua, and bright pink.

Those are some amazing fakies! Those Magic Ponies are just incredible, but oh, I love that green and yellow Lady Baby, and the blue Lady Pony and Baby set. Amazing!
Thank you so very much for showing us your gorgeous girls! May I please use some of your pics for my wishlist, if you don't mind?

Beautiful hair on your green Totsy, and the mini babies(what do they call those babies that come with the horses with the funny noses)? they come on a card together. Anyway yours are superior to any I have or have seen. I'm very jealous. Awesome!

Sweet collection! You've got a ton of variety, and I love that in a fakie collection. I'm also super envious of your alternate pose Magic Pony. She's just beautiful. <3
