Flutter's lover <3 8,205 September 27, 2013 Share September 27, 2013 (edited) I seen it on EQD today...and it got me thinking....Has anypony here ever intentionally bought the Fake Pony merch that's out there? I'm also curious. Has anypony here bought something online, but when they get it realise it's a fake? Personally I've never had it happen ot me. and I'vebought a fair amount of pony merch online...usually from eBay, which I see quite a bit of fake merch. My advice is buyer beware.You never know with buying online. and here's a few pics of Fake MLP merch. Note the mixed generations on the package. also note the Power Puff Girls font used for "Pony Power" and the bad English.

Scootaloodle 1,622 September 27, 2013 Share September 27, 2013 (edited) My dad recently bought a custom made Luna plushie, I guess that would be classed as 'fake' or 'unofficial' I myself haven't got any fake merch, but wouldn't be against buying it to a certain degree, if it was along the same lines as the plushie just mentioned, as in if it was a sort of tribute to MLP FIM (if that makes sense) then that's ok with me If it's another toy maker whose just ripping off MLP such as Fairytale ponies who aren't Hasbro at all then I would never buy such a thing!!

Flutter's lover <3 8,205 September 27, 2013 Author Share September 27, 2013 (edited) I don't see a Luna plush being fake, Like as long as her colours and stuff were good. I don't see it as being a fake. I have a Derpy plush form China (was supposed to be a Daring Do,seller just sent me the wrong one)other than her cutie mark being a little off, she's pretty spot on for show accuracy.I would've exchanged her for Daring,if the cost of shipping wasn't the same cost of just getting a new plush. The seller literally Derped...aha. Edited September 27, 2013 by Flutter Dash Fluttershy's lover, she's my waifu.

Planty 1,053 October 2, 2013 Share October 2, 2013 Wait what exactly is fake merch? To be honest, I'm not sure anyone knows! I guess some would say anything not by hasbro or isn't hasbro official, and other people stuff this the image 2 posts above which is a rip off but a pretty aweful one!

The only thigns I don't count as "fake" are custom pieces done by other bronies, as they're fan made,and not made by some guy in China using inferior materials, techniques changing the colours and names of ponies to make a buck off of unsuspecting fans. Though fake ones, could be turned into "custom" ones. Fluttershy's lover, she's my waifu.

Rainboom Dash 1,056 October 3, 2013 Share October 3, 2013 A discount store near my house has lots of unofficial merchandise, and it's got some MLP toys as well. One I've seen is basically what looks to be a G1 pony in a box decorated with G4 ponies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mand'alor Dash 2,224 October 3, 2013 Share October 3, 2013 Fun Interesting! Shame about these fake toys. They look really well-molded, but the paint jobs are terribad. I wonder if some of these are official Hasbro toys that were just repainted by the counterfeiters. Either way, Ashens getting his hands on one of these would make my day. Also, what's with all the <100 character posts in this thread? Amoral cynic with a bitchin' vocabulary. Check out A Century of Song if you like music from before this millennium.

Though fake ones, could be turned into "custom" ones. Very true , I have a custom plush which is top notch quality and show accurate and I would defiantly not class that as a knock off. I feel like the knock offs are things that someone has made to kinda be a "fake" real, they know it's not show accurate but they made it cheaply to try and mass produce them and make a fast buck from little kids who get confused between real and not real merch!

Flutter's lover <3 8,205 October 8, 2013 Author Share October 8, 2013 (edited) I went to the Dollar store today...and they still had these there. Clearly a rip off of MLP merch...It's rather funny. If they were of G4 moulds, I might've bought one just to recolour/paint. they all have Rarity's cutie mark, which is funny. Edited October 8, 2013 by Flutter Dash Fluttershy's lover, she's my waifu.

RockinRarity 1,605 October 11, 2013 Share October 11, 2013 Fun Interesting! Shame about these fake toys. They look really well-molded, but the paint jobs are terribad. I wonder if some of these are official Hasbro toys that were just repainted by the counterfeiters. Either way, Ashens getting his hands on one of these would make my day. Also, what's with all the <100 character posts in this thread? That is exactly what these particular toys are. They even use the same packaging as the original toys. Also, look at Gilda. She literally looks like someone spilled green paint all over her, haha. These would be decent toys to buy if you were interested in recoloring yourself, though. 1 Follow my blog! ~The Mind of Sally - Experiences, Opinions, Musings~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
