Author Topic: molded wings star catcher batch error? with pics (Read 1119 times)

Ok so I have a couple of questions about this girl
I know she was a 25th anniversary release but was she released everywhere? or usa only? Just wondering as she was really hard to track down I ended up getting her from the states

Secondly the one I got has a faint yellow mark infront of her wing on her display side that is full of scratch lines. I didn't think much of it.... my friend got one (also from states) sent to my house.... it to has the exact same mark in the same place. I am really starting to think it is a factory error as its just such a odd mark, does anyones molded wing star catcher has the same mark in the same place?
Please note its hard to capture but you will see the general idea... do you have one like this?

I thought she was released everywhere, but I am not sure about that.

As for the mark, do you have a picture?

I took a look at mine, and there isn't a mark /:

Well i got mine in the UK so i think she was released everywhere. As for a mark, do you have a picture of it??? I don't think mine has a mark.

Mine does! It's a yellow, faint smear directly in front of her wing. Did she have an accessory attached there or something? If the tape is left on (by a child or whatever) then it can leave these weird marks due to the glue... how odd!

I bought my girl from UK eBay, so she must have been released here at some point. I never saw her new. She's so pretty!

Yes, this set got a pretty wide release if I remember rightly - but no doubt some towns and retailers missed out as per the normal Hasbro/retailer distribution.

Thats odd that so many have the same mark - especially on the display side if it was on NDS then I would have said ink from her backcard was probably the culprit.

I will take a photo and put it up today : )

Dusky yours has the mark to... I bet its the same! I am sure its a batch flaw as its an odd mark that would be hard for any child/ adult to make

Thanks for the help so far

Yeah, a batch flaw sounds likely. How strange.. This reminds me of when the G3s all had that nasty, sharp glue in their hair because of a production flaw.

I've gone through 2 and I don't think either had marks.

It almost looks like a fingerprint in glue or something...=]

Woah! my Starcatcher has the exact same mark in the exact same place! What a mystery!

I bet a whole bunch have them I wonder how they escaped the factory like that?

Oooh is one of those my Star Catcher? She's so pretty (even with the mark)!

That's weird that so many have the exact same mark.
