totally second contacting hasbro! It's kinda sad seeing how piss poor the quality control issue is (and I am so not believing that taobao are "errors" more so than - hey guys = wanna rip-off some collector-types"? kinds of planned production runs...) and if a whole super-big bunch of people would do the same = flood hasbro with rightful quality complaints = than maybe just maybe the juggernaugt of a toy manufacturer might even consider changing up how they make these poor dears...
but heck, in the meantime = you all G4 fans get some decently free apology ponies in the mail to ya ;-)
all the best = yeah, I bet that video is priceless = you should totally email that to hasbro with your request for replacement as proof of disapointment
