Cheap stuffed toys, especially those made in China, are more likely to be tainted with hazardous substances, from heavy metals such as lead and arsenic, to fire retardants. Yes, the fake is cheaper, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. Hasbro’s official My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic plush dolls are not only well-made, they’re extremely affordable too. The hair on the top of her head is particularly uneven. This leads to a look that resembles an old, dirty brush. Many strands are of differing length, while others are scraggly and stick out in various directions. Speaking off her butt, the apples of her cutie mark seem to be sliding down her flanks.Īnd then there’s the matter of her hair. You can see more abominable knitting on her back, which has led to an ugly, corrugated line of bunched up felt to run from the back of her head all the way down to her butt. It’s just hidden beneath her muzzle, where the needlework is so hideous it gives us the impression that there’s a mini-black hole sucking in all the surrounding matter, starting with her mouth. From certain angles, it appears she doesn’t even have a mouth. Said stitching is particularly bad on the face, where the lines are so stout and deep they make fake Applejack look like some kind of Franken-pony. In some places, you can even see the white thread sticking out of the seams.
The stitching is extremely noticeable on the fake. The problems keep multiplying the closer your scrutiny. The first you’ll probably observe is how fake Applejack’s orange is far too rich, as if the saturation has been dialed up. Even the shape of the eyes closely resembles the official products’.īut it only takes another look to recognize the flaws. She’s an orange pony with yellow hair and three red apples as her cutie mark. Simply put, it gets the basics of Applejack right. Description of Fakeīefore we discuss everything that’s wrong with this fake My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic plush doll, let’s talk about what it gets right. It only takes a brief examination of the toy, however, to see that it’s riddled with a stack of other suspicious details. Secondly, tags identifying the manufacturer are often attached to official plush toys. Official products often feature licensing information on their packaging, but this item was delivered to us wrapped in no such packaging. It’s difficult to say who manufactured this specific My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Applejack bootleg. Like many other Chinese online stores, DHGate is brimming with fake products. Strange then, that a bootleg of an Applejack plush doll should exist. Last but not least, there’s everyone’s favorite country gal, Applejack – the representation of the virtue of honesty. There’s nerdy magical prodigy Twilight Sparkle gentle Fluttershy sporty Rainbow Dash elegant Rarity and Pinkie Pie the crazy party animal.
One of the keys to the show’s success is its loveable cast of characters.
While initially created for girls, the show’s message of love, friendship, and harmony is so universal that it also made fans out of people outside its target demographic: young men who have taken to calling themselves “bronies.” Case in point, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the brand’s most successful incarnation to date. Hasbro’s My Little Pony is a media franchise that has not only survived near four decades of reimaginings, but benefitted from it.
