Vinyl Pony - Rearing and Sitting
Vinyl Ponies were sold exclusively in Australia and Germany, as far as I know. I'll start with the rearing ones. Both are very popular amongst fakie collectors, because they are rare and share so much with G1s. I have a thing for their heads, which is matching Dreamland Ponies, Circus Ponies (although altered) and Collector-pose Vinyl Fakies (like Moon Candy).
It shares symbol with a G1 pony, Surprise, and is rearing like SS Magic Star and Skippety-Doo. As far as I know, only seen with blue eyeshadow and eyes, but symbol varies.
This gorgeous blue pony was my very first rearing fakie. I bought her in a lot from Germany, it was a BIN and very expensive (5€ each pony) but I couldn't resist, even though I could only see her head and was crossing my fingers I didn't make a mistake, lol. She turned out to be near-mint, along with 2 TAF Ponies, a DnP and a buddy fakie, all of them in wonderful condition! :)

Purple Vinyl (Rearing)
Vinyl rearing ponies have, in my experince, no problem standing on two legs without any support.
I have yet to see these girls in other colors than blue, pink and purple, but I really hope they're out there. *crosses fingers*
This girl is also from Germany, and unlike the blue girl she turned out to be in okay condition where she had looked mint, but I'm still thrilled to own her. :)

Pink Vinyl (Rearing)
Coming from Australia, this pony was hiding in a lot with some other fakies. Her original haircolor is pink, but her former owner had given her a replacement tail and I have yet to decide whether I want to give her a new pink one or not. I just think it's so adorable that another pony, which I'm sure was a newer release since the hair feels more like it, had to give her tail up for an old vintage pony.. She must have been a favorite. The seller, who was selling them for her daughter told me she was selling them to afford a new bratz doll..
She's got some blue stains and are currently residing in my window for some serious sunfading.

A picture of my three girls side by side. :) I wish these were easier to find and came in hundreds of colors, I would dearly love an army..

My Sitting Beauty..
She's here, I still can't believe it! In perfect condition, too - only the slightest rough feel to the hair and a rub on symbols. Other than that, I'm only capable of saying Yellow, lol..
The Sitting Vinyl Pony shares (obviously) pose with Bubbles and Seashell.
Her symbol are three whistles on each side, which is why she is often referred to as a Wind Whistler fakie. She comes in Yellow, as seen, and pink, blue, pale purple and white.
