Hey there, (fakie) pony people!
So, I've been hearing about this place for awhile, and I figured I should finally drop by, see what's goin' on... and accidentally got hooked. Oops! ;D
Let's see, where to begin? I'm Snapdragon, as I'm known on the MLPArena, and I've been collecting fakies ... well, since childhood, really! I had/have two Totsy unicorns, and a trio of "galloping" saddled ponies, made by Remco I believe. (I'm still in the dark about a lot of fakie terminology/companies, so I'd appreciate any help I can get from you fakie aficionados! Anyway, they make galloping sounds when you squeeze their sides, and I figured they were just about the coolest little ponies ever, when I was little.
As I got older, I found a few other types of fakies to be darn adorable as well, including the (in)famous Senor Fakiepants (as I've fondly dubbed him), although he's really only famous in my mind, and he's not really even a fakie. He's actually a toy from a cartoon in the UK, but I digress. I've also become quite addicted to the "back-hair" fakies (who I call the Sideburns Trio, since I only have three right now-- Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn), although I haven't found any for sale in awhile.
And, really, although I only have a couple of types I'm REALLY in love with, I just don't have the heart to get rid of the others who accumulate via lots on eBay! I hope to be taking pictures of all of my fakies soon, and maybe you guys can help me ID all the mysteries who have been living in boxes all these years! :>
Wow, that ended up way too wordy! Anyway, I may not be very active here while I learn the ropes, but I am definitely active on the Arena, so you are always welcome to shoot me a PM there if you'd like! I'm friendly, and always glad to say hi or chit-chat, so feel free to drop me a PM or email! (My internet access tends to be sporadic on the weekends, so no offense is intended if I take a couple days to get back to you!)
Anyway, it's really nice to be here, and I can't wait to meet everyone! :3 What a fun forum!
