Is this a Factory error?

[Kisscurl]

Hello,
        I've been out of the pony loop for so long but I picked this up this morning and it left me baffled. She has no Hasbro stamped anywhere, no production code under her feet, only made in china on the battery cover. So my question is, is she an excellent fake or was there a factory error when Princess Cadance was made and she secretly wants to be Twilight Sparkle.....what are your thoughts?

She’s a very good fakie! I think they made purple ones too  her hair looks a lot nicer than the real ones! Cool find!

Dang that's a decent fakie. We just get the odd G3 headed soft plastic fakies here, nothing of that quality. Nice!

I'm devasted, she lights up and everything and she wasn't that cheap either :/

There is an Authie version of this set with both Cadance and Twilight Sparkle, but I've never seen a cutie mark error that made it to store shelves.
I think that hair combo is very charming though, the actual Cadance is much more of a hot pink and this looks much nicer imo.
Sorry to hear you paid a bit much for her. :Hug:

Yeah these are just really well make fakes. I mean she's still really cute.
