Has anyone seen this? i apologize if this was posted previously as I hadn't seen it before and i got all excited when I saw this but now I'm starting to think it's not legit?

Well, its
1) Not packaged
2) A head swap between 2 ponies
3) Easy to fake
4) Abundant
 On the other hand they were from a Chinese seller originally, who does tend to have factory rejects, runs of ponies that weren't sold, etc.

I think there is a little creative combining here by someone in China, because there are a similar amount of DJs with Rarity's head. There is no real answer to your question, but I am guessing that the individual pieces of the pony are legit, but she was not assembled in the factory. Maybe someone got a hold of rejected parts and put them together like this.

I kinda thought that, but I wasn't 100% sure, I figured there was a reason why she hadn't been snatched up since she's fairly cheap for a factory error and when I went back through the completed listings I only saw 1 other 1 and it was the same seller.

I have one! Her authenticity can't be proven for the reasons above, but I think she's adorable. I'd say get her if you want her in your collection, but not to hang onto as a factory error.

Yes everything Bright Idea said

The head and the body are no doubt original and from Hasbro...its just that either in production, or more likely be a reseller, they have been incorrectly matched up together.

Frankenponies of all kind are very very common now with G4.
