So Hallmark’s quality control really sucks these days. I got my Zipp ornament (ordered from Amazon by mistake if I’m honest I forgot it was in my cart).

Anyways, she was in a Hallmark shipping/packing box. But still has grey marks all over her body. And the paint job is horrible and her hooves are the wrong colour (blue over the beautiful silver/blue). I know it’s the budget line for Hallmark I unfortunately didn’t pay the “old budget line prices” and expect a bit more attention to details when I’m still paying $20cad for an ornament, especially when it’s Hallmark. They’re clearly spending too much of their money on terrible Christmas movies. Lol

Yea ive noticed their ornaments with the open front packaging are very sloppy compared to the closed boxed ornaments. :/

I don’t know, I’ve noticed the last few years even the closed box Keepsakes have lost their quality. Case in point the terribleness of Powder and her broken leg mold. Lol But it’s been the same story for a lot of my Disney Keepsake ornaments and my Mom’s Snowy Friends (I think that’s the name I can’t remember at the moment).

That’s tragic. It’s a beautiful ornament! But that paint job is unacceptable for the price. I’d be more willing to look the other way if their overbudgeted Christmas movies were at least So Bad It’s Good fare, but most of them are just plain boring. :tongue:

I agree and it’s almost that time of year when they run 24/7 right up into February. That’s the true horror movies for Halloween. :p

Haha I like the cheesy hallmark Christmas movies, and some of them are actually cute (The 9 lives of Christmas, Most wonderful time of the year and Christmas in angel falls are ones I put on almost every year) :smile:
But anyway yikes! The paint job on her is terrible :shock: if she was just a little scuffed up on the open side it would be more understandable but that is bad. Are you gonna ask for an exchange?

No, I won’t be looking to exchange. True story, not only did I accidentally buy one but two.

The second also has the same defects so I suspect it’s possibly something went wrong in the factory. The outer packing boxes completely cover the ornaments so they shouldn’t (ideally) have these issues. :(
 
Took a cute pic of my Jazz Hooves today amongst my pumpkins, (and wood from porch construction lol), and a bag of books i got from the library sale today for like 25 cents a book!! :D <3 Jazzy is so gorgeous and ive styled her hair in big curls but the clear rubberband and that one curl came already done on her, i just left it and styled the rest by hand. They did a good job of having her hair wavy so it curls naturally if you coax it. I think her tail may be slightly different hair but it still feels good just not quite the same.

Oh no how’d that happen, well maybe you can paint one since you have an extra? Make her look nice and new

Yeah, it seems that way. I wonder what made Hasbro decide that’s how the symbols work?

IIRC, Faust said that was her decision. I believe she said something along the lines that because her Baby Ember had no symbol, she had assumed as a kid that ponies earned their symbols when they got older.

Ok that’s kinda a cute reason though
 
I was looking at the g5 toys at Walmart yesterday and wondered why for both g4 and now g5 the box art is just directly taken from the show/movie? G1 and g3 had such pretty box art and it was a totally different art style than their shows. So why give us this

When they have art like this available to use? (This is from a Christmas g5 book called Merry Christmas Everypony)

How much cuter would that be?
