So I picked up the TRU Joe 3 pack today, and the figures seem pretty crappy compared to the rest of the 25th line. The paint apps are sloppier, and the plastic seems really really soft -- hands popped out of sockets for Duke and Grunt, and Hawk's hand was so warped, he couldn't hold his pistol. Their hands also seemed like the fingers aren't as well defined -- it's just this sort of glob where the trigger finger should be. If I didn't know they were genuine Joes, I could be convinced that they were knockoffs. None of my other 25th Joes are like this, including the ones that come with the Target vehicles. Is this anyone else's experience, or did I just get a crappy set? I didn't get either of the Cobra sets, so I don't know how they are.

yep, the only thing awesome about the 25th are the card art and version 1 snake eyes redo. the quality of the 25th's have sent me chasing after vintage joes. i'm over the 25th, but they have turned me on to completeing my vintage joe collection.

The only bad figure I have had was the wave one Officer, his legs are very shaky, and he can't stand unless I got him in some wacky ass pose with his hips to one side.
You must have got a bad set, though the hands being the way they are can happen with these figures. I've got a Stalker who looks like he is wearing baggy gloves, with the way the paint is on them. I'd still take them over the 200+ ARAH Joes that I got any day! |
