Gi-Go Ponies Index – Fakie Spaceman

A note on grouping these as Gi-Go – this is my best estimation, based on the visual and tactile similarities in manufacture. Gi-Go makes their own brand called Wonder Pony Land, and they are sometimes named as the manufacturer behind store brands like Kid Connection at Walmart and Play Right at Walgreen’s. I believe that the majority of these share a common origin point. But since they aren’t marked and many have come to me second-hand, I can’t know for certain.

I think it is safe to say that Gi-Go is the leader in the manufacture of fakie ponies, having a large library of molds that have been steadily produced since the early/late-90’s (source: my memory). Early ones often had the distinctive inset “glass” eyes, but most modern designs have painted eyes.

Read my theory on a connection between Gi-Go and Simba.

For the purposes of this showcase, my focus is on grouping ponies that share a common mold, rather than what ponies were sold in sets together. There will be some in-package pictures, but by and large it is a pose-based collection. For more information on Gi-Go family groupings, see The MLP Fakie Project. It hasn’t been updated recently, but has a lot of excellent information on early 2000’s and vintage fakies.

The majority of the ponies in my collection are modern release, post-2000. I believe most are Gi-Go (or a store brand made by Gi-Go) unless otherwise stated.
