Bug Eyed Ponies
I still don't quite know much about the background of these fakies.

- They say "1998 HINSTAR CHINA" on their bellies.
- They have brushable tails, but molded/painted on manes. The tails appear to be rooted.
- They have textured and painted hooves. They are also concave like most G1 pony hooves.
- Their eyes are way more exaggerated than any other fakie I've seen.
- Some speculate that these are meant to imitate the horse from Toy Story - I am not sure if that matches up timewise.
- Hinstar Toy Company makes all kinds of knock-off & novelty toys. Their website.
- "Hinstar Toys Mfg Ltd. is a toy manufacturing and trading company. We mainly manufacture in Dongguan province with office in Hong Kong. Our main products are action figures in various sizes, toys, dolls (soft and hard body), novelties, water squirter, gift & premium with EN71 provided."
