Weirdest factory errors you've seen?
« on: August 10, 2012, 11:21:36 AM »
Stray bits of glue, paint and smudges I've all seen, but probably the strangest error I've encountered was when I bought the Cheerilee school set. Scootaloo had what looked like a bit of dirt on her leg, but otherwise they were all perfect and I figures it would come off with acetone. Turns out the stuff was INSIDE the plastic, and gooey. I had to use a file and pick it out.

What are the oddest things you've seen? :P

I wish I could tell if her other legs are missing their stripes (I'd bet they are...) But I can't tell without taking her out of her box... and I'm not sure I want to do that... :lol:

Symbols printed largely, eyes uncentered, sometimes no symbols at all, I saw one person once who got a pony with two tails...

My G1 Skydancer has her tail nearly in her hip, and one of my babies has a double tail hole.

My favorite factory error is G4 Rarity using Pinkie Pie's head mold! Looked like Discord snuck in and stole her horn! XD It even had the round Pinkie Pie eye indents so the Rarity eyes didn't match up at all. She was MIB with her carriage, too!

Wow! Are there any pictures of this? Oh, Hasbro... the only factory error I've ended up with was an off-centre eye.

Off-centered eye was the only one I ever got.  I wish I had one of the cool ones you all are talking about...

I think it was GoldenClopper that found her and then someone else tracked one down as well - one is worrying, two is a Hasbro pattern :)

I really like the G1 wingers somone posted recently. They had wrong color tails and different wings. Also the little winger who missed the line to receive hair.
