I just got Flint in disguise today from Walmart. Didn't really look him over or anything. Then i get em home and see he's got a small hole/dent on the right side of his chest. And the paint on his sleeve is on his right arm some. Then i noticed his left shoulder joint (?) sticks out a lot more then the right one does.
So do you guys usally look the figures over? or do you just buy em? This was the only Flint disguise they had as of now they got just 3 single carded figures. I've not really looked over my other figures looking for goofs or anything, just happen to notice the dent etc. |

I inspect EACH figure I buy. If there are 10 figures on the peg, I look at each of them abd pick out the best before purchasing. Troop builders I'm not so particular about, but I only get one of each of the main characters and thus want to make sure I get the best possible one.
Online purchases are obviously different, but if there is an imperfection, I save it on card and swap it out at the store for a like figure or something else I am in need of. I can't stand molding imperfections or sloppy paint apps.

yeah, if there is a choice. I picked up a cobra flint and the flint head had a blob of white paint next to the mouth. Bad painting can really make me hate a figure.

When it's feasible I do. Like the Cobra 5-pack for example - I looked over 8 of them to get the one that had a Baroness with the least sloppy paint job on the glasses; same with the 5 pack Lady Jaye. They usually slop extra hair color paint on her forehead. I pay a lot of attention to the paint apps for the eyes. The Indiana Jones figures were really horrible in this aspect.

I look over every figure I buy and if there are multiples I will pull them all and find the one with the best paint apps. If there is only one (and it's something I really want) I will just pick it up but still keep my eye out for any better ones down the road
