Lanard has produced the widest variety of fakies from any one company. Many of them don't look like they're even related. It can be difficult to distinguish a Lanard from a Lanard knock-off, but real Lanard ponies always have "Lanard" stamped on their hoof or belly.
Here's some of my Lanards.
See the variety? Different sizes, different styles. One even has glass eyes.
Now, these next ponies aren't Lanard, but look like they could be....
Confused? Don't be. Remember, real Lanards are marked as such.
Let's take a look at some of the differences. First, there's this little girl...
The pony on the right is a real Lanard, the pony on the left is not. Their hooves are very similar, their color scheme is identical, and the face on the fake looks like she might be the baby of the green pony on the left of the very first photo. But she's not stamped Lanard, so she probably isn't one.
Next, there's this blue fakie. The yellow one is a Lanard. The blue one is not. They look very similar, but the blue one is lower quality, with thin hair (which falls out easily) and cheaper vinyl.
Check out this girl. The real Lanard is on the left, and the yellow one on the right is a fake. She's relatively well-made, though her paint job isn't quite as good as real Lanards. Also interesting to note that the fakie fakie's legs are thinner than the real one.
Finally we've got a stumper. Can you guess her identity? She's not stamped Lanard, she's made of hard plastic and vinyl, she has yarn hair, and she's poseable.
.....Give up? She's a Lanard. How do I know this? Because I've seen her box, which is marked Lanard. However, the pony itself has no company markings at all. She's the exception to the rule.
Have any Lanard fakie fakies in your collection? Feel free to add them to this thread!
