The complicated world that is Hasbro QC...

[Taffeta]

Weirdities must now be entered in the dictionary.

Absolutely O.O. It's a word I use a lot and I often get a strange look for it :/ Dictionaries are so behind the times...

Anywho, Hasbro and QC are non existent these days. That doesn't just go for mlp. Three of my daughter's transformers have had their stupid limbs popping off since day one. Especially Skull cruncher and Sand sting.

I wonder if it's just a general trend across toys in general. Clearly meeting safety standards and meeting QC levels are not considered the same thing. Though I do wonder how things like goopy hair on MH dolls (Mattel) got through as a safety thing for kids, apparently it did (although the G2 dolls don't seem to have this problem). I would have thought limbs coming off would be a safety issue though with the Transformers...

Who knows, maybe that will be the trend for dolls in the future.That would make this Celestia ahead of her time.

I remember when someone posted about that here. And someone posted a link to this song: https://youtu.be/PeXjBWN8LO8?t=169

As for me: I haven't had any Hasbro made QC problems yet aside from a couple of brushables that had their heads change color slightly. Different story with Funko G4's though. I've got a Maud mini that has one eye lower than the other, and the larger ones that have glue splatters, loose parts, and in the case of my Luna a warped horn (she must have got into some poison joke).

I haven't had any particularly notable QC problems, beyond minor smudge marks or a single spec of dirt on a new pony every once in a while. That and greasy hair on pearlized G4s and a little on G4.5s, but that seems to be the new normal.

I haven't gotten any huge issues like missing bodies.

I really hate the greasy hair feel, hate it.

Ok, that Celestia is awesome. And I can see why they didn't notice, because the head is so well placed in the box that if you don't know what you're looking at, you might think it's a weird pony-with-a-severed-head toy...

No?
Ok then

At least Klutzi and Muttsi have both heads and bodies. Different coloured ones, but they are anatomically complete.

I've also found a pony who slipped through the cracks, a TY fluttershy with no symbols at all.

I originally planned to only collect G4 MIP. However when I went to buy the fluttershy/daisy dreams set, every single one was absolutely filthy.. on the inside of the packaging. So in order to have a nice set, I had to de-card them... and so I collect G4 loose now!!

I do too. It's disgusting. What the heck is Hasbro doing to make it feel like that?

Yeah, it's very strange. Are they doing it intentionally? Since it does seem to be the way everything is out of the package now they've either got to be unable to fix it for some reason or they're purposefully designing the hair to be that way. Recent ponies like 4.5s and pearlized G4s are super cute and I love them, but it should not be like this where I have to wash the hair of a brand new pony as soon as I get her.

It's really funny how people thought miscolored legs on new minis were rare errors but half of those minis had this "rare error".

I'm starting to think so.
