At TRU yesterday I found a MU Northstar (I think that's her name...the one with the head some have used for Baroness customs) that had been opened. Guess what was missing? Yep, the noggin. I handed it to a TRU employee who was passing by. He said it was becoming an issue and blamed it on "toy customizers."
It got me thinking about the toys I've noticed missing stuff over the years. Looking back, some (maybe all) were obviously repacks done by someone hunting for parts. Like the Baron Zemo I saw last year who was missing his belt and boot cuffs. Or the Grim Reaper I spied recently with white Punisher boots. There was also a webgear-less Cobra trooper in a 50th Viper's pit set that I assumed was a QC issue at the time. I think Beachhead was missing its submachine gun too. In addition, I've bought a couple of vehicles in the past that were missing parts and decals and such...probably the work of the same one or two customizers. Now it looks like they've graduated from buying something and stealing/repacking/resealing shit in the comfort of their own home to just taking what they want right there in the store.
