Possible Basic Fun Keychain Prototypes
These prototype keychain figures have appeared on Taobao this week. While these are clearly based on the Basic Fun keychain figures, we have no idea why these recolors appeard on Taobao. Some of the Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash figures have their usual body color, but others have mixed up colors, while keeping their original eyes and cutie mark. Loose figures like these without the actual keychain have been around for a while, they are probably factory rejects. Below you can see the Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash that we own ourselves.
The reason the title says 'possible' is because these could also be fake figures. The amount of figures the Taobao seller has is a bit suspicious, but it's possible that a huge batch of factory rejects has been dumped. With this amount of figures it would only be a question of days before eBay starts reselling these figures.
UPDATE: They've appeared a lot of times on eBay now, they're most probably bootleg!

  1. I would think fakies. It's not at all uncommon to see fakies going in for covering all possible permutations, and otherwise you'd expect to see some Rarity figures too. Especially since these designs were all locked down several years ago.
