I got a Beachhead in that 3 pack that had a misspunched or whatever you would call it elbow joint. However it was put to together didn't like line it up correctly so they just cut it to work. So the lower arm is on sideways. I put a picture up of it somewheres on here.

I picked up a Thor movie Loki figure and the hip joint had been glued in place, accidental glue extrusion, but when I went to pose the figure the leg snapped off. Instant fodder.
I've had more problems with the Marvel figs then Joe and it's always with glue in the wrong place. I'm usually able to fix it but it seems to happen a lot.

Loose legs and bad eyes are my recent complaints. I know how to fix the legs, but it's crazy the range of variance in leg tightness from figure to figure and across the line. A lot of hands fall off with nary a sideways glance, too.
My next action figure purchase: 3d printer. |

For Joe's, the 25th line thru Retaliation, only issue I had was with Colton's eyes.
Star Wars, never had a QC problem. Indiana Jones, first few waves had some paint issues. Their Marvel lines is whree I had the most issues, mainly paint problems. But my comic pack "Patch" Wolverine has 2 left fists.

Initially, I was going to say that I've never had or seen many problems, but then I started thinking about it, and realized that I had. Though, they were all kind of minor. Most are just some paint issues, and easy to look past, though.
I've seen several sloppy paint apps recently. A number of Retaliation red ninjas I've seen have black paint dribbled on their arms or chest in various places, so I passed on picking them up. I have two Retaliation Lady Jayes, and the paint apps on both of their hair is rather bad. I got a Dollar General Snake Eyes in a trade last year, which was MOSC. As soon as I opened it and tried to rotate his right hand, it instantly snapped off. I've had several PoC Alley Vipers with fudged up legs or arms, or pieces that didn't fit together right: I had one of them with a grappling hook gun that was molded improperly, so it wouldn't fit on any of the backpacks. One of them had a helmet that was molded improperly, so the visor wouldn't attach to it at all, and nearly one out of every two PoC AVs I have basically has their knives fused to the holster. I've also seen several Battle Kata Roadblocks with "hamhands" or "Sausage fingers." For some reason the paint or the molding or something is so thick that the fingers just look like fat blobs.

Both of my Retaliation Lady jay and joesph Colton have super derpy eyes.
A comic book pack Boba Fett came with a broken arm a arctic assault tele-viper had a broken arm. 2 transformers have broken on me and maybe 5 accessories have kinda dematerialized on me. But I have probably purchased 2000 Star Wars gi joe and transformers toys over the past ten years. So not that bad. If you care for them they last a while. Besides my 200 clone troopers from the mid 2000s they are all sorts of off whites.

Have a 25th Barbecue and Hiss Commander who's elbows would not bend. Fixed the Hiss Commander using a blow dryer, but still can't get that left elbow on Barbecue to budge.

My AOCI Wet-Suit has two right biceps, makes posing his left arm look weird in any pose other then straight down.

really a small issue..bought a skystriker when they first came out. after a few guys on here took pics of theirs i noticed mine did not include the H.U.D. so i emailed hasbro they took my info and promised to send me one..it never arrived so follow up emails followed..more promises...and nothing. I know it's not a big deal, but back in the heyday of G.I.Joe if your vehicle or figures were missing pieces they fixed it.. This is not the Hasbro we grew up with!
