They all have dents? Even Nightmare Moon?
I am so happy I decided to stop buying new Hasbro products. That is beyond unacceptable, especially since its marketed towards collectors.

Pardon? They are still marketed to little girls - they still sell in the toy section. The only ones "marketed to collectors" are going to be your Fair and Comic Con ponies. The rest can be found in little girls hands who do not care how bad they are.
I am not saying it is right, but gang, for the price you are lucky the heads are on the right way.
I buy Breyers, they cost anywhere from $20 to $75 and up new - they come with box rubs and bent legs, they are marketed to collectors, and I can see getting bent over that. But for the most part over a toy?
Oh and G3's had all kinds of messes, as did G1's - some of those mis-matched heads and bodies have nothing to do with fading but with production of a cheap childs toy.

People said this set is $40, and $40 is quite a bit of money. That would feed me for a at least two weeks, better than I'm able to eat now. Having every single pony covered in dents (especially on top of all the other common Hasbroken 'quality' problems) is not acceptable. I don't care if they're truly children's toys, they should not be so damaged just being taken out of the package and its crazy to me how many people are like "oh well its bugs me but that's how it is, I'll just keep buying them and never complaining".
I don't care if something is $5 or $40, 'just a toy' or for collectors, it should not be broken/damaged directly out of the package. If I paid $40 for a set of ponies with heads on the wrong way, heads would roll at Hasbro like you wouldn't believe. We're not "lucky" their heads are on the right way. It is Hasbro's JOB to make toys and please their customers to sell products. It is not the duty of collectors to just throw our money at a company and be grateful we get anything in return, no matter how bad the quality is. That's not how it works. If they sell us crap and people get sick of it, they'll get angry and stop buying the products.
Every time someone tells me to be grateful Hasbro even makes ponies, be grateful they're not worse, etc it drives me insane. We owe Hasbro NOTHING. Hasbro is the company and they design/make the products. I have bought brand new non-Hasbro toys whose retail price is $15-25. The company making these dolls somehow makes them have wonderful quality, barely any flaws (I have had 2 issues total out of 19 dolls and one issue was very small), and awesome clothing/wigs. And because ponies are far simpler, they don't need all the assembly that the dolls do. Hasbroken can do better as proven by other toy companies with much higher quality products in the same price range, but they choose not to. That's not okay with me.
They also sell collector Barbies right next to normal Barbies, so being on the toy aisle doesn't really change that. The fact still remains that this set, White Celestia, and Zecora are collector oriented. Sure kids will probably like them too, but collectors and bronies have been begging for more show accurate toys, background character toys, and a white Celestia. Hasbro finally listened.

I cannot like your statement enough. Well said.

In never said it was acceptable, I said it is not uncommon and while it maybe an "expensive set" it is still being sold elsewhere and made available to the main stream market for My Little Pony which is little girls. In G3's there where several collectors sets that where sold in main stream markets and as such came into the hands of kids which is again where they mainly marketed too. Should parents accept this no, do they most of the times yes because it is easier for today's busy parent to not worry about it then try to contact a major company and complain. Do some parents complain, yes I am sure they do.
To be honest if you are that unhappy with there level of product then do not buy it. Your pocket book speaks the loudest.
And finally quality has always been an issue with Hasbro, they have to package there product to prevent thief and look good on the shelf. G3's had the same issues, from hair in neck seams to dents in legs. This is nothing new! And before anyone thinks we "old" collectors used to let this slide we would contact Hasbro about it all the time, and be told they would look into it.

Thank you!! There is no excuse for a product to be damaged coming straight out of the package. If Hasbro can't be bothered to care about the quality of the toys they're producing, then why should I bother to buy them?
This is why I am encouraging all to contact hasbro. The more calls they get, the more obvious it is that its an overall problem and not an isolated problem. I sent the info to equestria daily but maybe if other people send emails to them they'll post it.
I agree. Don't be silent!
I've sent Hasbro two complaint e-mails about the shoddy quality of G4 and mentioned symbol and eye smearing, head/body color mismatch, dirt smudges, permanent stains, jagged/badly cut neck seams, and misplaced and misprinted eyes (seriously, is it that hard to make sure the characters eyes aren't two different sizes, or sliding off their heads in opposite directions?) I barely ever buy G4s anymore because of their terrible quality.
