I was at Walmart tonight, happily spending my birthday gift cards, and was wandering around the toys section. I browsed the G3.5s but didn't see anything that I wanted. I was about to leave the toy section when I spotted something distinctly horse-shaped on the far back wall. As I approached, I realized they were realistic type horses and weren't what I was looking for.....then, one shelf above them, I saw boxes of fakies! It's been ages since I saw fakies at Walmart, so I was thrilled. They're sold under the name "Pretty Horse Family", and it's five dollars for a set of three fakies. A Walgreens-like adult, a Buddy L, and an Ember baby. The Walgreens adult doesn't have the regular half-circle shaped eyes though....they're larger and more eye-shaped. Also, she's got what looks like a serial number stamped on her butt, under her tail. Not sure yet if this is some kind of wierd factory error or what. I'll have to inspect the other sets the next time I'm at Walmart. I'll be posting photos either later tonight or tomorrow, as soon as I find my damn USB cord. EDIT: Found the cord! Here's a very crappy MIB pic.... ....and a pic of them after I freed them from their cardboard and plastic prison. I didn't feel like finding a backdrop, so ignore my laptop. Here's the serial number on the purple one's butt. The other two ponies don't have it. I can't figure out why it's there. It would be easy enough to remove with some acetone, but I think I'm going to leave it there.

The Serial Number Pony!!! Epic! *dies laughing* Maybe one day when I am finally not broke I will get some.
Maybe that's her prison number or something.

There was also a set with a blue Walgreens pony with purple hair, a yellow baby (I forget the hair color), and the same pink and yellow Buddy L.

Ooh, it's so pretty! I love the big glass-eyes... much prettier than small ones on the buddy L, though a little creepy on the walgreens pony IMO
