Weirdest factory errors you've seen?

[NoPonySpecial]

  I have no idea if this counts as a factory error, but it sure counts as weird:
  I ordered a few ponies from the 2011 McDonalds giveaway, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Celestia. All three were MIB.  When I opened Princess Celestia, I was hit with the small of skunks! Not even joking! (although when I'm being nice I tell her she smells of marigolds.) The other two were fine. Her smell faded a bit so you can only smell it when you hold her to your nose.
  It's so weird! Has anyone else had a problem like that? Did they use bad paint on her or something?

  (I also have a McD Sundance with no symbol, which annoyed me because I bought her to replace mine from childhood. Curse you, McDonalds!)

She smells like me?! 

I've opened stinky toys before. Not sure what was wrong with them.

My G4 Applejack had scrached eyes when i got her. Other than that my ponies are pretty perfect ^^

I had a school set Cheerilee with 3 hair rows but I realized that after I customized her

Not so much strange, funny though.
I've not really encountered much in the way of factory errors.

Rarity stole Twi's cutie mark.

:O That's so awesome! I'm quite jealous.

Where did you find her?!? :]

I found the "stripe-less" Zecora at the TRU down the road from me.

Speaking of "odd" factory errors... seems this is my week for them! 

I was out of town this weekend... helping my parents out... Unfortunately my "Princess" set from Target arrived on Friday night, and had to wait on the porch thru the weekend, for me to get home. Thankfully it was still there today! WOOT!

Anywho... I finally sat down to open it up, and enjoy my new ponies... First one out of the box was, of course, Luna!

Check out what I found when I removed that "skirt" of hers!

I bought two of these sets. The Celestia in this one has a scratched eye... hence why I decided to open her box. Who could have guessed I was picking the one with the "odd" Luna too!

Now I'm tempted to open up the 2nd box... see if Luna's symbol is messed up too... but I wanted to keep that set MIB...  Ack what to do!

My favorite factory error is G4 Rarity using Pinkie Pie's head mold! Looked like Discord snuck in and stole her horn! It even had the round Pinkie Pie eye indents so the Rarity eyes didn't match up at all. She was MIB with her carriage, too!

Wow! Are there any pictures of this? Oh, Hasbro... the only factory error I've ended up with was an off-centre eye.

I think it was GoldenClopper that found her and then someone else tracked one down as well - one is worrying, two is a Hasbro pattern

Indeed, there have been two!!

I don't see much of a difference. [/joke about stubby G4 horns]
