Has anyone here bought a pony with factory "mishaps"...

[bladed]

Like weird glue places, wonky eyes, etc...
But you don't want to change them because it makes that pony unique?
My first G4, a Twilight, has 3 strands of hair glued to one side of her neck. Even if I had stuff to remove it, or could actually use hot water to "boil" it off, I don't think I would. It makes her unique and seeing as I have two standard pose Twilights it's the only way to tell them apart!

I have! The bottom two in this pic had a cutie mark mix-up.

I've also ordered a few Rainbow Dash who were made with the wrong color plastic.

Is this an alternate version of the S3 finale? XD
Also, do you have pictures of this RDs? Sounds funny.

I have some bigger ponies that I bought that have no symbols on them. I am still waiting for them in the mail

[Wishing Well]

There's glue on my Sunset Shimmer.

My Luna and Twilicorn have incredibly soft heads.

My Ploomette has a weird brown spot on her chest.

And some of my ponies have severe color mismatches.

[BrightIdea]

Small defects seem fairly common. I think I have had most of the problems.

-Mini-sized ponies with extra paint
-Smudged eyes
-Smudged symbols
-Glue stuck on a symbol that made it get smudged

My latest is poor Crystal Empire Fluttershy. She has black dirt on her nose.

Oh my goodness! I am guessing those did not make it through quality control and weren't sold by Hasbro. Pretty cool though. It's a little hard to tell if it was a mistake though, since there are hundreds of them. Those are definitely some interesting ponies, though.

I had a marked up rarity, I fixed her with acetone though, it was awful-looking. My GW Ploomette had a massive knot in her mane! Ick! But no interesting ones yet, just ewwy stuff-ups!

Not sure if this counts, since its not visible, but my G1 SW Sky Dancer has really thin plastic on both left legs, so they're squishy.  ... How often do I bring her up again?

[Rhubarbpie]

Not sure who it was, but there is a member here who has a hornless Rarity MIB!!  Sadly the best I have to offer is a symbol-less Flower Wishes I got off ebay.  I also have the Pinkie Berry (basically a blonde Pinkie with different eyes) and 2 Blossomforth/Rarity head swap ponies - bought separately from 2 different sellers. Not sure if they'd count as factory mishaps though!

My factory mishap pony is my G4 Twilight sparkle (the 5th pony I got) she had so severe of a colour mismatch from the head and body that hasbro sent me a new one when I talked to them about it. Unfortunately, she got turned into a bait pony some time ago and is awaiting a makeover.

My childhood G1 Applejack bought in February 1985 had no neck glue and her hind legs have thinner plastic than normal so can be squeezed easily 

She is a very special pony though as my lovely Grandad bought her for me and after seeing I was upset about her neck, he fixed her with some glue when we got back home.  Sadly he passed away only a few weeks after this, so I'm always reminded of him when I see her and his glue is still there too.

I have a Boogie Woogie on a Hula Lula Card and I had a Sunshine Parade where her symbol was painted on her side and not her hip.

[Lightning Twirl]

 Nothing too significant but I have had a bunch of little dirty ponies, the common hair caught in the neck,  loose hair rooting on my Princess Twilight Sparkle, a minor paint mark on a Pinkie, and my Crystal Empire Rainbow Dash had one strand of hair that was really long! I had to trim it, oh my goodness! LOL

[hathorcat]

I have a Sky Flier with no white stripe in her hair and no where for the stripe to have been added I didnt buy her intentionally and ended up replacing her on display with a Sky Flier with a stripe but I have kept the other one just for curiosity value and because, yes, I never seem able to part with ponies!

[babystarz]

I have a wingless FS Rainbow Dash and FS Ralestia.
