Derp-Eyed Fluttershy - Would This Bother You? [pics]

[Astralwing]

When I bought my Blossomforth she came with one of her eyes off the mark, giving her a Pony appearance, too. I just styled her hair so it's in front of her face - now she looks much cuter, and you don't even notice the eye problem!

I'd keep one side of her facing the back of a shelf or a wall and do my best to ignore it.

As misapplied paint jobs go she's actually pretty cute, with her adorable confused-looking o_O expression.

It's a shame she's not perfect but at least it's not one of those crazy I'm-gonna-eat-your-soul expressions that weird eyed fakies always seem to have.

At least Fluttershy is one that'll (presumably) always be easy to find. If you contact Hasbro, they might send you a replacement for free.


...That said, I sort of have a soft spot in my heart for all of the Pony, factory error ponies out there. I think it makes them unique.

I think she looks pretty cute I really don't see anything wrong with her tho, but what do I know.

[toralei]

She looks so cute, like she's doing "the stare".

It wouldn't bother me, but that's because I love factory errors

[Kaapelikala]

Eyepatch, pirate style. Arrrr!

Also mod her a wooden peg leg. And a cool hat.


Or you could go to the shop and ask for an exchange since that is factory-damaged (or something). I don't know about the laws regarding that but at least here I could do that.

There are two things I can't stand on G4s. One is smudged or otherwise misaligned symbols and the other is eyes that are not directly painted in the indent where it belongs. I definitely try my hardest to avoid buying ponies with this issue, but sometimes it's not noticeable in the package. Currently in my collection, I only have one pony with a misaligned eye, and that's my Blossomforth. Her display side eye was printed too far  towards the nose, so it looks kind of strange. I couldn't find another for months, and by that time, I'd already fixed her hair how I wanted it and didn't want to start over, so she's just going to stay in my collection. Another time, I got a Ploomette with the display side eye printed too high by like an eighth of an inch. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to make her look like she had eyebags. I was so excited to find her in the store that I didn't inspect her closely enough. Luckily, I saw the error before I opened it and was able to replace her with another one.

Aw I think she's cute it doesn't notice that much

My FS Fluttershy's eyes are slightly off and I don't really mind so much, but on your Fluttershy it's more noticeable... she is cute though. I guess it just depends on how much it bothers you when you look at her, whether to get a replacement or not. I probably would if it were me.
I try to avoid ordering online now too after getting several ponies that have arrived with small defects. :/

[CrystalCrown]

it doesnt seem too bad. i have a twilight sparkle with one eye pointed more upwards that the other, and  an applejack who had one eye wayyyy too high off the mark (i baited her because her eyes bothered me)

[StarSwirl05]

I think she looks pretty cute I really don't see anything wrong with her tho, but what do I know.

Me either. Maybe it's a teeny bit off on one eye but I wouldn't consider it all that bad, like I didn't even notice.  *shrug*

[sabathamk]

Wow!  That would probably bother me... I'd ask for a replacement.  But, that's me.  I'm such a perfectionist... haha.  She is kinda cute... though.... 

[Umiyuri]

…d-d'aww, she's still lovely.


Quite a few of my ponies have this derped eye issue, but I find myself not minding. It's worst on Meadow Song, though. Mostly because he's tiny, so the problem looks hella big.
