Tada - look what I found, Freak Rarity!

[SheRa-dude]

She looks naked without a horn!!

LOL, this!

Goof-ups like this Rarity are very cool to find. Congrats !

[PinkRosedust]

Wowza. I'd definitely keep her MIB!

I guess it's not THAT unusual these days, what with all those weird ponies coming from taobao. But geeze, can you imagine finding a MIB G1/G2/G3 that was supposed to have a horn but doesn't? o_O

Cool!!! Poor Rarity... but cool!!

Curious... can you tell what shape her eyes are? (underneath the paint that is). I mean... they shouldn't match. The head should be a Pinkie Pie or Applejack hair right? So the sculpted shape of the eyes... shouldn't be almond shaped...

Bizarre!!! I wonder how many Rarities made it out of the factory like that!

Wow, that's pretty cool! I would've bought her for the weirdness factor as well.

Yeah, I was also wondering about the eyes!

[Squirrelypaws]

That's pretty cool! I'll admit, I didn't see the error until I'd read through the thread a bit.

And yeah, what LadyBrooklyn said. Can you tell if it's actually a Rarity-mold head? If it is, that's awesome! I hope that means we'll see some non-unicorn ponies with the almond-shaped eyes.

Hey good analysis there! Indeed it isn't a Rarity head. It's a "Pinkie Pie" head, but I guess the closest match would be a Plumsweet with Raritys eyes painted over it. Even in real life, it still looks very convincing though. The pupil and iris fill snugly into the eye contour, so you wouldn't think it was a mistake if you didn't know Rarity is supposed to be a unicorn. ^^ Pretty awesome find IMO. She was the only Rarity left on the shelf, so I wasn't sure if it was a batch thing or a one-off stray.

I find it's more satisfying to find an error in package rather than Taobao, since some of those on Taobao seemed almost intention to make some bucks, but this one obviously escaped QC. What I like is that she not just some pony with her symbol forgotten or a wrong tail - yer know the easy stuff that people can replicate at home without much effort. This one at least take some level of difficulty because unless you can paint like a machine in gradient, Rarity's eyes are one of the most complex to paint from scratch.

I'm still waiting for the day when I find an error where Hasbro accidentally paints symbols on both sides of the pony!!! That would be a dream.....

[Gingerbread]

Lol, poor Rarity! There are LOADS of that set left near me, I haven't bougth it yet as I want the set with the bonus pony, will have to go have a look through them all now though!

[Diamond]

[Souffaloufagous]

Took me a full minute or so...WOW I'm slow today!

But ohmygoodness!  She looks so different..... I like it!
You should totes keep her MIB.  Might be worth something later on. 

[Ren-Ren]

Cool! You people in Singapore have all the fun... ^_-

[aellos]

Ahaha, Rarity being my favorite, I could tell immediately.

[hathorcat]

Wow! That is more than a factory error!!! How did they end up with a white head with no horn and rarity eyes and hair!!!

That is a proper "collectors item"

Congrats!!!

[Icecrystalline]

Wowwee that's so cool! x

[MissSleepless]

That is so weird. It's such a huge flaw too! But congrats on an accidental variant! Poor thing xD
