G4 Small Fakies

October 16, 2022.

Considering the immense popularity of G4, it's only natural that fakies emulating the G4 toys that feature the incredibly popular characters would make their way into the world.

These fakies are from Aliexpress, and resemble the characters Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie in their "Power Ponies" superhero outfits, and Sunset Shimmer, a character introduced for the Equestria Girls tie-in movies.
They have G4-style heads, long bodies, and short trunklike legs. Their eye stamps are also very similar to those of official G4 ponies, but take up more space on their proportionally smaller heads. Their hair is all thin, shiny, and uncontrollable.
Inexplicably, they all wear bowties.

They're actually a quite a bit smaller than standard G4 ponies, which surprised me when they arrived.

Twilight has a sloppily-painted hero mask, and the printing on the suit by her hooves is a spotty. Her hair curls around her face, and her tail coils around her back.

Pinkie's hair is the thinnest and sparsest of all, curling together like a frizzy tendril. Like Twilight, her paintjob is sloppy and has some faint spots.

Sunset has the best paint job, her cutie mark is stamped down her back leg and behind her eye as makeup. Her hair defies gravity and resists all attempts at taming.

These ponies are strange but... charming? If they were higher quality, they would be pretty high on my list of favorites. However, even if they are not cream of the crop pony toys, they are still cute, and frankly, bizarre reproduction of well-known horses.
