Hello everyone
I just came back from a holiday in Greece and i talked to a shop owner there to see if the greek ponies were still available.
Anyways to cut a long story short, the ponies were fakies i believe!
They sell all kinds of "brand" toys in souvenir shops there like turtles, hello kitty, spiderman, whatever, and those toys are all fake too, the use the same molds as the real toys but they are made of cheap quality plastic and overall lesser quality than the real deal which would explain the softness of the pony bodies and the bleeding of their symbols.
I went into a real toystore there (similar to toys r us) and they had a lot of the original G3 ponies.
Talked to those shopowners too and they confirmed the souvenirshop ponies were fakies... :?
Doesn't mean i don't want to have one, i think they look really cute and i didn't find any there
I was just wondering what you ponies think of them being fake...?
Hope i didn't offend any proud greek pony owners coz that's not my intention at all!
