Weirdest factory errors you've seen?

[Moss]

The weirdest pony I have is my dearest Feathermay. She's got a few extra hair plugs between the normal rows (probably about 5/6 extras). She's got other little things, too, but nothing that outrageous. I've also got a BB Lyra that has a seam around her face that kinda looks like a creepy smile lol. My sister's LuLu Luck's tail is two different lengths. One section is about 1/2 inch longer than the other. We decided that that's her 'lucky' tail, the source of her good luck!

Speaking of "odd" factory errors... seems this is my week for them! 

I was out of town this weekend... helping my parents out... Unfortunately my "Princess" set from Target arrived on Friday night, and had to wait on the porch thru the weekend, for me to get home. Thankfully it was still there today! WOOT!

Anywho... I finally sat down to open it up, and enjoy my new ponies... First one out of the box was, of course, Luna!

Check out what I found when I removed that "skirt" of hers!

I bought two of these sets. The Celestia in this one has a scratched eye... hence why I decided to open her box. Who could have guessed I was picking the one with the "odd" Luna too!

Now I'm tempted to open up the 2nd box... see if Luna's symbol is messed up too... but I wanted to keep that set MIB...  Ack what to do!

That is a cool flaw! Also, does she have an extra tail hole as well?

I don't think that is an error. Both of my Cadences and the Luna that that I have in that mold have the extra tail hole.

In all the others I have seen of the Molly & Sundance Pamphlet I have not seen another misprinted one, but I do believe there may others out there...

I think the only factory error I ever found was a G3 with a smudged eye (from the birthstone set).  I was kinda annoyed about that, but I kept her anyway.

[lalalei2001]

Any gen's good. Show me factory error ponies and the flaws that make them worth keeping.

[NoPonySpecial]

I think we just had a thread like this, didn't we?
Yeah, here it is: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,305399.msg352713.html#msg352713

I was disappointed it died out, though, I'd love to see more error ponies!

...

That isn't a hole below her tail is it? 

Sorry- just read your later comment- Cadence and Luna also have that? I need to look at mine.  I do NOT like the extra tail hole...

I got one and will get a picture in a little bit

I've got a G1 Violet factory error! She's a sneaky one though. I found her a good fifteen years ago or so in a thrift shop along with a FF Blue Belle. The two of them were the freshest mintiest ponies I've ever found second hand, Blue Belle even had her ribbon tied in her tail. You can still see that lovely new plastic surface that has never been handled. Anyways. I've had these lovely ladies in my collection all that time and about two years ago I got Miss Violet out for a quick picture. Here she is:

Oh, you can't see her factory error? Neither could I for fifteen years, until I just happened to move her forelock a little bit:

Third eye!

(Look very carefully, it's hard to see against her gleaming white body.)

It seems the tamping machine jumped the gun and dabbed on the white of her eye before it was quite in place, so she's got the white paint in a perfect eye shape on her muzzle. Interestingly, she still did get the white for both her normal eyes tamped on as well.

LOL!  That is a totally weird one!  And cool!  I only have a Baby Surprise with the string for one of her balloons off to the side.

[hyenacub]

LMAO she has a butt hole! 

[Dusky]

I just checked my Castle Cadance and yes, she's got the same thing, albeit filled in (badly) with plastic... O.o

I had a load of G3s with glue in their hair, and I have a Star Catcher with odd yellow marks from her packaging.

How come no one has mentioned the tail-swapped G1 ponies yet that keep cropping up? Or the princess miss-match variants? They're still factory failures even though they are now 'nirvana' variants in their own right. I own a beloved Ruby pony nick named 'Dawn Rose' because she has Tiffany's hair and Dawn's symbol!

[Starly]

LMAO she has a butt hole! 

I's not a hole, just a weird mold mark, brushable Celestia has one too.
