What about that weird thing glitter sometimes does in G3s. Mine thankfully don't have that problem but I do hate it.

Every flaw is strangely beautiful to me. Either it can be fixed (and restoring ponies is so much fun), or it adds character. Yay for flawed ponies!
Seriously, no pony is too flawed for me. One of my best ever purchases was a grubby little G3 Meadowbrook whose back legs had been chewed off (!). Washed her thoroughly (boiling water and soda crystals are the best thing ever), and made her new legs out of some modelling stuff called Milliput, and I love her all the more because of it :)
I'm glad not everyone loves flawed ponies as much as I do. That means all the more for meeee! :D

The wholly avoidable. Saddle sores and markers all over the pony. The mostly avoidable. Mold and tail rust. I never had that even with the ones I used to take to daycare 20+ years ago. The unfixable, tactile only. I'm not bothered by cancer or regrind. We can't help that and neither can the ponies and I can pretend they're freckles or birthmarks. But plasticizer leaking, sticky ponies are ones I do not keep. :nope:

FRIZZY HAIR IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. I'd much rather have it cut or replaced than frizzy. Other than that, yellowing, browning and general discoloration, especially when the head and body are noticeably different.

Chew marks because they are gross. I don't like owning something if I know some one else's mouth has been on it.

I really don't like chewed/missing limbs or pony cancer- Also faded/head body mismatch. Highlighter makes me angry. Frizzy hair gets me too, but mostly I can fix it.

It was a tough choice but in the end Frizzy/dry hair was the number one. I like to hold and play with my ponies and I'm a very tactile person so soft hair is a big priority. I have ponies with haircuts and just think it gives them a little extra character.

Brown head and Head/body colour mismatch were the other two.

I'm going to say plasticizer leakage, haircuts, and fading pink hair. If I could pick a 4th option it would be regrind. 

I picked up one of my G3 Divine shine ponies the other day and she was very sticky. I also have a couple of them MIB and one of their heads has turned colors and has adsorbed most of the glitter in the head. My G1 Sparkle pony isn't sticky at all so I'm not sure why Hasbro had such a problem with the G3 counterparts.

I don't like ponies with severe haircuts. I know it can be fixed if you re-root the pony but I don't customize ponies so I can't fix the hair issue. 

I've faded a few ponies pink hair to white because I didn't realize it would fade.

Regrind is ugly on a pony and can irritate my skin.

The worst thing that bothers me is the Plastic breakdown brown spots (cancer). That was my very choice. I feel bad for ponies that I have that are showing that.  Plastic breakdown - regrind that was my second choice. I cant do anything except maybe paint over ponies that have these problems. What doesn't bother me too much is the stickiness problem I would just wash them. I choice the saddle marks but I did not see the "head or body turns brown" Or I would of picked that one. Once a person remarked on the forums that is the Body of a pony that can have the worst flaws. I agree. That is why I upgraded my Quackers to see her turn brown or have brown spots like that is a tragedy. :(

I wish I could choose 4 options because my biggest pet peeves are head-body mismatches, chews, haircuts and tail rust. I didn't hit the tail rust button, however, because in a lot of cases you can remedy that whereas  you cannot remedy the other three without customizing the pony in some way.

i voted other because i hate ponies with eye scuffs or eye scratches or damage to the eyes in anyway.

i could have bought a baby ruby uk pony for only 40 us but almost her entire eye was missing and i just could not do it

The only flaw I hate is mold, it is hard to clean/get rid of the rest of them I can live with.

I really hate age spots, they just make me sad whenever I see them. Pink highlighter (saddle sores) also because I have had so many battles trying to get rid of those! And chew marks, because ponies are not for nomming! :P Unless you feel like sculpting a replacement, they're really noticeable and irritating to me.

Plasticizer leakage ... never had a pony with that problem, but it sounds nasty, recurrent, and can't be fixed. Chew marks and haircuts ... While they are fixable, I'm too lazy and/or don't have the skill to fix them.
