Show me your Factory Flawed Ponies!
« on: January 21, 2017, 01:41:33 AM »
I've had this Italy Skydancer for a while now. I love her but she always seemed a little "off" to me and I didn't know why untill today.

So I recently bought a small cheap lot on a local "Ebay".

I was actually after the Skydancer in that lot because I owned a Hong Kong Skydancer once who had missing symbols and really wanted one with good symbols. But then the Hong Kong version since I already owned an Italy. But once she arrived I noticed she was an Italy too.

I looked at her and suddenly I could see why my Skydancer fel so off to me. I looked at her mane and she had only 3 colours in her mane instead of 4! Not that her hairplugs were missing or anything. The whole streak was just not there.The holes where never punctured, just a small line was visible of where the hair should be. After I noticed that I was so happy that I actually got an Italy instead of Hong Kong cause now it felt like an upgrade. But it was so weird to see. I always thought she was so bald but assumsed it might me an Italy thing.

Show me your flawed ponies and I mean factory flaw, not smudges or damage done over the years by playing/storing.

That's definitely a cool one!
I have some Italians with reversed symbols, but they are not on display yet so I can't take a photo :/

Aside from her wings looking like the wrong ones, I'm pretty sure her tail should be the same color as her mane

Ha ha ha! I can't believe I didn't notice that Buzzer's tail color at first.
Point of advice: Do not use the Internet at 1am!

Honestly it'd be cool to have something like this.

I have two Italy Skydancers now. I prefer the normal one over the factory flawed one. But I don't know if I should sell her and put her in a lot with others I want to sell. She's kinda special...

Haha, Skydancer looks cool like that, like she got an undercut :3

I have no factory flawed ponies, but these fun ones are really nice to look at :)

One of the best parts about collecting mass produced children's toys is all the crazy factory errors! The kinds of stuff you can find is ridiculous... and awesome :D

Twirler is one of the major pride and joys of my collection. When I was brand new to collecting I was desperate for a G1 with a misprinted symbol. I found her on the Arena Classifieds and was crazy pumped! Its not the best photo but its all I have for now.

I have many other not-so-exciting suuuuuper common errors, like hair and tails that were inserted just slightly off the marks, but Twirler is by far the most interesting. I almost got a MIB G3 missing half her multi-layer symbol print but just didn't have the funds at the time. One day you'll be mine, Rainbow Dash! Or a suitable replacement will :P

I have an Italy Skydancer with the exact same factory flaw!  I think she's in the nirvana gallery.

I also have a double flawed Italian Moonie, reversed symbols and stripe in mane, rather than rooted in a separate lock next to it. 

I'll have to post pics :)
