My best one is probably the MOC ponies (?!) which were posted to me in a box which was also full of plush toys. These were not in the auction and the only type of packaging material included, but they were not fastened down and everything was just loose in the box. Fortunately the MOC pony I wanted arrived in the same state the auction advertised. I asked the seller if the plushes got in there by accident but apparently they weren't. I donated them to charity, so hopefully some kid is getting fun out of them now - they were Winnie the Pooh plushes, piglet and so on...
By far the strangest has to be a rainbow dash that I won. She was in a cylindrical container, wrapped in paper. Imagine my surprise when I saw the phrase "Aah Bisto" on it (it's a gravy brand). The worst part was that there were still granules inside, and no packaging around her, so she had meaty granules mashed into her hair and already rusted tail

The worst was plastic shopping bags used as packing. I hate that.Funniest is this:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginSorry the picture is terrible. Her cute headress was meant to protect her earring. I very much appreciated the extra care taken but it was just so funny looking!Heheh she looks like she is about to go out in the rain with her special head scarf! Now casting extras for Miss Marple...

I've never dealt with anything particularly bad or strange, but I've had to deal with ponies being wrapped in bubble wrap then completely encased in 2-3 layers of packing tape. It always makes for a harrowing experience as I slowly trim away the tape, trying to make a hole to reach the pony through, the whole time I'm mentally screaming "WHERES HER HAIR I'M GONNA CUT HER HAIR I JUST KNOW IT."
Hilarious new addition to the weird pony packaging archives: petites in a specimen sample zip lock bag.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginDiagnoses: cute as heck.
