Show me your G4 factory errors!

[ZettaMomo]

will2Bfree - That would upset me if that happened to a Luna! She is one of my favorites, but I haven't gotten a hold of her yet.
Someone before suggested to me that the cracks may be from the plastic not being mixed correctly or something similar.

Sanadaookami - Now I am going to have to keep an eye out for some when I go to the store! I have actually been pretty lucky and have only ran into one factory error on my G4s. Some of mine have the body/head mismatch, but not as bad as some I have seen.

I have a few with slightly mismatched heads, my Royal Ball Rarity has a very loose head, and the Spike that came with that set looks like he had quite the battle with the paint machines. I'll take pictures of the Rarity and Spike and post them up later.

That awful gap is just as bad no matter which direction I position the head.

And now Spike, poor Spike. To start things off, he's derp-eyed, his back spikes are all messed up, he's got some green dribble on his face, and both of his back legs have this weird dent in them, the opposite side leg dent also has a bright green paint smudge. Compared to my other Spike, this guy is a total mess.

They should just start making ponies with completely different colors for their heads than their bodies, and market the color difference as a special new feature of them.  "My Little Pony, Two-Tone Ponies: Her coat changes color at the neck!..."

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;

i've got 2 exactly like that, and have yet to see one that isn't that way.
It's so obvious under good lighting. It's distracting.

Got to love those factory flaws!

Some of those errors are interesting - like the cracks!  It does make you wonder how those ponies get past QC.

My Cheerilee has a nice big scratch on her symbol

I'm keeping an eye out in shops for anything interesting, not seen any glaring errors yet though.

 My Feathermay has a couple strands of tinsel haired into her tail!  I like it, makes her unique!

Wow, those are a lot of errors, don't you think 

[ZettaMomo]

Alrighty... So I went to go try and customize my Lulu Luck that I posted earlier and just planned to sculpt something over the funny looking spot. After cutting off her neck plug to look inside I find this!

A big ol' crack in her plastic! And no, I did not accidentally stab her when I was cutting either.

I've only de-boxed 5 sets so far, and out of the 6 ponies, only 1 has come without factory flaws.  It's really depressing.  I don't ever remember finding a G1 with a flaw right off the card.  They range from paint marks, to mismatched head/bodies (I didn't check Sweetie bell carefully enough, because I though they couldn't mess up white =/ ), to gouges in the plastic.  Apple Bloom has half a tail that's 1/2 inch shorter than the other half, but the one that upsets me the most is my camping rainbow dash.  Part of her mane is cut halfway, where is attatched to her leg  when she was in box.  It looks like whatever was used to cut the plastic or the tape, cut part of the mane too.

I finally found the CMC set in Ottawa, but the head/body colour difference of Scootaloo was so bad, I couldn't do it.  Hopefully they'll restock with some better ones.

The rarity I'm customizing has the same issue in the same space! It might just be a problem with the mold?
