Title: Show me your Factory Flawed Ponies!
Post by: Pierlala on January 21, 2017, 01:41:33 AM

I've had this Italy Skydancer for a while now. I love her but she always seemed a little "off" to me and I didn't know why untill today.

So I recently bought a small cheap lot on a local "Ebay".

I was actually after the Skydancer in that lot because I owned a Hong Kong Skydancer once who had missing symbols and really wanted one with good symbols. But then the Hong Kong version since I already owned an Italy. But once she arrived I noticed she was an Italy too.

I looked at her and suddenly I could see why my Skydancer fel so off to me. I looked at her mane and she had only 3 colours in her mane instead of 4! Not that her hairplugs were missing or anything. The whole streak was just not there.The holes where never punctured, just a small line was visible of where the hair should be. After I noticed that I was so happy that I actually got an Italy instead of Hong Kong cause now it felt like an upgrade. But it was so weird to see. I always thought she was so bald but assumsed it might me an Italy thing.

Show me your flawed ponies and I mean factory flaw, not smudges or damage done over the years by playing/storing.

That's definitely a cool one!
I have some Italians with reversed symbols, but they are not on display yet so I can't take a photo :/

What's wrong with her wing? I honestly don't know anything about Summer Wing Ponies.

Aside from her wings looking like the wrong ones, I'm pretty sure her tail should be the same color as her mane

Ha ha ha! I can't believe I didn't notice that Buzzer's tail color at first.
Point of advice: Do not use the Internet at 1am!

Honestly it'd be cool to have something like this.

I have two Italy Skydancers now. I prefer the normal one over the factory flawed one. But I don't know if I should sell her and put her in a lot with others I want to sell. She's kinda special...

Haha, Skydancer looks cool like that, like she got an undercut :3

I have no factory flawed ponies, but these fun ones are really nice to look at :)

One of the best parts about collecting mass produced children's toys is all the crazy factory errors! The kinds of stuff you can find is ridiculous... and awesome :D

Twirler is one of the major pride and joys of my collection. When I was brand new to collecting I was desperate for a G1 with a misprinted symbol. I found her on the Arena Classifieds and was crazy pumped! Its not the best photo but its all I have for now.

I have many other not-so-exciting suuuuuper common errors, like hair and tails that were inserted just slightly off the marks, but Twirler is by far the most interesting. I almost got a MIB G3 missing half her multi-layer symbol print but just didn't have the funds at the time. One day you'll be mine, Rainbow Dash! Or a suitable replacement will :P

I have an Italy Skydancer with the exact same factory flaw!  I think she's in the nirvana gallery.

I also have a double flawed Italian Moonie, reversed symbols and stripe in mane, rather than rooted in a separate lock next to it. 

I'll have to post pics :)

My FS Coco Pommel has a section of bangs that's two inches longer than the rest. Don't have a camera handy, so no pictures unfortunately. And I'd rather not re-do her hair.

I just got a snuzzle whose hair was done to the right of her hair plugs instead of on them, lol, so it looks like she should have a third row of hair. When I first got her I started checking all of my flat foots to see if some of them might have had three rows of hair, but when I didn't find any I realized it's just that her mane was extremely off center

No pics though since I'm moving in the next few days and she's in a box!

I've got one but it isn't a visible factory error and she's not exactly a pony, but I do have an Adagio Dazzle doll who is in the English language box but not the English voice chip (The seller thought maybe Russian, I really should check against the international versions of the song)

I don't have a picture or the pony handy but I have a G1 Bubbles whose tail hole was punched way off centre. She's got the marker dent in the right place, but her tail is closer to the side of her rump. I didn't realise when I bought her and the seller didn't disclose the factory error, if she were any other pony it'd bug me but her pose hides it quite well.

I can imagine how annoying that is. I also have some Ponies with a slight off center tail. But not as bad as yours.
