Defect's and imperfections

I am sure that everyone has gotten defective joes from hasboro. What have you seen that you thought was weird? What can you do about it? I can fix many but some are just funny. I hate when you get a new figure and the joints are loose or in some cases arms , hands or feet just fall off. I have had many loose or broken but these just pissed me off. The hazard matterial trooper from my desert pack came to me with two left arms. At first i thought it was just the hand but take a look at the pad on the upper arm and you will see its the whole arm. The duke is hard to make out from the pics but its screaming "yo joe" duke and what i got was crying and foaming from the mouth duke. The white paint on the eyes and mouth are to far south and makes him look like he is crying and foaming from the mouth. I also got a bazooka trooper that is missing an eye ball. Some people would post that as a varriant but i know its just a miss from good old hasboro. I have seen many others at stores that i dident buy because they were bad and im sure someone else picked it up but what have you gotten? And what have you done with them?

Off the top of my head I've had two issues:

1) V3 Snake Eyes (the one with the night vision goggles) missing the pouch / insert to his upper left leg. Not bouncing around in the package either just not there. Which is weird because he has dried glue where the attachment should be.

2) Viper missing the silver toe paint off of one of his feet, the other foot was painted fine though. Not an issue to me becuase he was for a custom that didn't involve his feet so meh.

I got the following ...

1. Wraith with broken knee joint.
2. Tripwire with broken hand at the peg.
3. Copperhead with broken knee joint.
4. Dusty missing webgear.
5. v2 Snake Eyes missing black paint on bottom of one boot.
6. Wild Bill comic pack with cracked helmet.
7. v1 Duke with screw hole stripped on holster so it fell off.

There are a few more, but mostly broken or weak parts as opposed to missing...Like Dusty's gear.

Duke from Red Star/ Duke comic pack had his right foot on left leg and vice versa. Also too many loose joints on the figures.

I have this problem with my Barbecue where his right leg tends to push outward. I pull them together and the one leg pops back out.
