YAY! FOUND IT!
I'm pretty sure I have found modern fakies of these puppies here in the Netherlands! I had been eyeing them in this dollar-type store for months and last week I finally bought one. They have adults sold single and two packs with an adult and a puppy. There are four different breeds. I coincedently bought the one most similar to the one in this thread but it's brown and has blue eyes. When I took it out of the package I was surprised to see a 1998 M... copyright on the bottom!
It is on the dogs foot though, not on it's belly (might be the adult/puppy difference). I've been trying to ID it and now I finally found this thread, awesome
The one I found has to be a fakie of the official one above because the packaging is different and the quality not very high, and its being sold in store at this moment, but it has the 1998 M... copyright
As I said the store has four different breeds, there's also a poodle and a st bernard-like dog, the fourth one I found hard to tell, seemed like a husky/labrador mix or some kind of mastif XD
Earlier I did already find a pic somewhere online (don't remember where) that has what I thought would be the 'official' ones. It has the above pictured dog, the poodle and the st bernard-like dog!
I remember the poodle I saw in store to be in the same mold but grey instead of pink, I think the st bernard-like one has the same colours.
I'll take pics of the supposed fakies later this week (when I'll probably have bought some more next to the one I already have
)
