What to do with a misprinted BB?
« on: September 18, 2012, 07:27:56 PM »
So I asked this in the custom forum and didn't get an answer so I'm going to try here. :)
I have a BB princess Cadence with a really badly misprinted eye. Does this Flaw make her bait or a HTF collectible?

Here's some pics.

Looks kinda cool, actually! I'd keep her next to my (relatively) perfect one.

Too bad its not on both eyes. It looks like she has eyeshadow.

Literally a blind bag pony!!

I like her funky eye, besides:
Life's a box of chocolates you never know what you gonna get!

Or what funny misprints in this case! :lol:

If it bugs you, you could try wiping it off and paint another. Or grab a new one and display them side to side ;)

It does!! Ever so classy it would have been. Congrats on a sassy Cadance

Depends on who you ask. I say it makes her baity but I sell all my errors to error collectors at cost. It's a fairly common error, and not as popular as a blank flank or a symbol mis match, so I don't think it will increase her value much in the long run.

I've gotten two wave ones that were like this and one wave 3 . I find it an annoying quality control problem.
I'm not really on here anymore. Email me if you need my for something.

Hmmm...can I answer "both" and "neither"?

The blind bags are absolutely packed with errors so I would be more amazed if there weren't others with very similar issues. As Sarah says it will probably depend who you ask - as for many unless perfect she is bait while for others even a little factory paint error makes her a variant.

For me - the blind bags are cheaply made and for that reason I dont expect perfection, she would stay in my collection and I would simply consider her Princess Cadance without either bait or variant added to her description.

Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
