Gi-Go Old Gen - Bridle Ponies
- Oct 29, 2025
- 6 min read
CHARACTER(S): N/A
YEAR OF PRODUCTION: Pre 2010s?
These are older-gen Gi-Go fakies
It's hard to pinpoint when each one was released or made, because they lack copyright info and don't have as much documentation as a legitimate MLP, but we can assume they were released prior to the launch of G3.5, because the first Gi-Go molds that branched into their "new gen", modern style were based on G3.5 molds.
PLACE OF PRODUCTION: China
Copyright attributed to UK
MANUFACTURING COMPANY: Gi-Go
TYPICAL PRICE ONLINE: $5 or less
OTHER COMMENTS/INFO:
These ponies use a body mold based on the G1 Tootsie pose, with a head pose that includes a sculpted bridle. Gi-Go produced other ponies with the same body mold, but different head molds
Some of these ponies have painted hooves while others don't
Some have painted bridles, while some are left unpainted
They appear to be based on (possibly ripping off) Buddy L Fakies
These ponies seem to have been sold with a corresponding Baby Pony that matches their color scheme, but has no cutie mark
Only info underneath hooves is "Made in China"

Pinkie Pie Fakie:
Whether intentional or not this pony heavily resembles Pinkie Pie.
It's possible this was intentional, because while Gi-Go is an older company, they re-used molds throughout the years, seemingly still re-releasing older style molds post 2000s. They did not seem to swap to molds that resembled G3 (or G4) until after g3.5 came out
