Show me your G4 factory errors!

[babymoondust]

Y'all left awesome responses to my factory error Fluttershy post so far!


It has really peaked my interest, especially for those of you who have a fondness for factory error ponies, so I thought I'd start this thread for you to showcase your unique little beauties! (Or... not so... beauties!...)


Tell us how you got them, maybe you wanted them for their factory error? And just generally say how you feel about them ~ pretty show & tell. 




My Fluttershy again... she's lookin' atchoo!

If you look closely (full view here), the Plumsweet in my avatar has a misplaced eye, I ended up customizing her. (I need to get another though, I love Plumsweet a lot.)

I'm desperate for a G4 with a cutie mark error, but apparently the quality control where I live is really good or something. I've looked so many times, and nothing!

But I do have this RD, a gift from my parents who live somewhere else. Really ticked about her errors (screwed up tail hole, dents, bits of paint).

I dunno if it's my eyes or what, but when people were talking about colour mismatches on G4s between the bodies and heads, I wasn't seeing it. Then I took a good picture of my Twilight Sparkle;

It's so obvious under good lighting. It's distracting.

I didn't notice any obvious discrepancies until I put mine in front of a bright light. I guess it must be hard to match the materials exact, since they have pretty different properties.

Yes the blank flank Rarity is ASTONISHING!!      I would have bought her in a heartbeat myself!  She may be worth alot some day.  I have never run across a pony that missed out on their cutie mark.
 
And I noticed the color difference too on ALL the Twilight Sparkles I have seen in this area as well.  I actually waited a while to buy mine hoping to find one that had the same color head and body but with no luck.  I hate it when the color shades don't match.  And its pretty obvious on Twilight.  My Dewdrop Dazzle is slightly like that as well.  Which sux because she is one of my favorite G4s

I know It makes me so sad, I display my Twi on the top shelf for my G4's and the colour difference -really- stands out. It bothers me ;^^ That's an extremely good photograph of the colour difference, btw. The shade differences are not easy to capture in photos. I want an evenly coloured Twilight with a forelock :\ I wonder what the body/head colour is like on the new raised leg version of Twilight, because raised leg Cheerilee's colours are much lighter than her standing versions.

My Honeybuzz has a damaged cutie mark, just a tiny bit of paint missing from the edge of the design. I noticed it just before I deboxed her, dithered a bit about taking her back and finally decided I could live with it. More than about 18" from my face and I can't tell anyway.

My Lulu Luck had this awkward crack in her plastic (It is kinda hard to see in the picture, but it is obvious in person) and all these indents on her face. The pretty much fixed themselves when I boiled her, but the crack is still there.
Hasbro sent me a replacement and said it would be Lulu Luck, but it ended being Flitterheart!    I was okay with it, though, since I was kind of wanting Flitterheart anyways.

I am kinda jealous of that blank flank Rarity. How did that pass through inspection?

I got two ponies with cracks like that. I'm really upset about one of them, because it's my regular sized Luna which I went through a LOT of trouble to find.

The cracks on mine are both near the front seam, though, so, thankfully, they're not as noticeable.

No idea I found her clear back at the start of G4, I think I was only the second or third US person to find them~ That first run was full of problems none of the one's I got then were perfect (paint smudges, off center cutie marks, mismatched heads it was a nightmare!) but nothing as cool as my blank flank.

I have a few with dents like you lulu's, not as deep but still annoying :/
