Happy Fakie Friday! Today I'd like to talk about my personal definition of what makes a toy a "fakie", as I've had people bridle (hee hee) at some of my Fakie Friday picks in the past.

First, let's talk about what doesn't define a fakie.

A fakie doesn't have to be a bootleg (though they can be).

A fakie doesn't have to be made by an unknown, fly-by-night company. Remco was founded in 1949, Buddy L's toy division was founded in 1921.

A fakie doesn't have to have incomprehensible or poorly designed packaging.

A fakie doesn't have to be a poor quality or poorly thought out toy.

Okay, so what IS a fakie?

Fakies aren't about non-Hasbro horse toys being "bad" and Hasbro horse toys being "good"; it's about how impactful the My Little Pony brand is. Even in the years where the toyline was completely dormant, your average joe would look at a rainbow horse with a heart on its bum and think "My Little Pony."

^ This horse in Hercules isn't proportioned like a MLP at all but in the Year of Our Lord 1997 everyone was talking about "the scene where Pegasus was almost seduced by a My Little Pony." (Though the pink horse was actually the bad guys in disguise.)

I love fakies! But no matter how innovative and high quality are, they cannot escape being compared to the platonic ideal: a Real My Little Pony.

So here is my ultimate test of whether a toy horse is a fakie:

Throw away its packaging. Lose all its accessories. Toss it in a baggie with random small toys and hang it on a hook in Savers, Value Village, or Goodwill.

If your elderly relative who knows nothing about toys points out the baggie and says to you, the collector: "Oh, here's one with a My Little Pony in it", then it's a fakie. ;)

What if Charles Lee Ray possessed a fashion doll instead and he was super hot

“oh I’m too old for stuffed animals” skill issue. sorry you can’t appreciate little creatures made to hang out with you, I on the other hand am full of joyous whimsy and therefore vastly superior.

I love the game, but a problem with Pokémon Go is that some gyms never get touched in smaller towns... I've been walking this route by my work every day for a few weeks, and there's a gym in the middle of it. Well, one of my pretty good Pokémon has been stuck in it for 14 days now.

Despite stopping feeding him berries and all, no one from another team seems to touch the gym, despite now there being 5 Pokémon in it from my team. I guess it's because it's down a walking trail? But it's a very popular walking path in the middle of town, right next to the schools and going by several apartment/townhouse complexes.

I feel like it's sort of weird to not be able to withdraw him after so long, but also, it doesn't matter if he defends it for one day or 14, I won't get any better rewards from it. I guess I feel like if I'm gonna be missing him for over 2 weeks, I should get like, something extra to make up for how long he's gone? Even just, like, some extra pokeballs or exp/candy or friendship points with him or whatever.

Rating: Not Cute.

Giving Barbies UV Printed faces, half print sack dresses, poorly chosen colour lips and polypropylene hair is in fact fashion doll cruelty. Dolls having these things in fact gives them a lower quality of life and shortens their life span significantly.
