From your posts you seem very particular about your paints, not that I love me sloppy ones, but it's hard enough finding some of these things at all...never mind with perfect paint apps. I know, Hasbro should do it correctly to begin with, but that's not the reality of the situation.
I've only done very minor touch ups when it was something I couldn't see in-package, and even then it was only gloss black paint on some Transformers using toothpicks. Usually the colors Hasbro applies are so distinct that the only way you could match them is by mixing, so I try to avoid touch-ups altogether. Also sometimes I'll remove excess paint with my fingernail if it's simple over spray.
The only figures I just buy without much care of the paint are clone/stormtroopers since I usually touch up the black on their helmets with a very fine Pigma Micron 0.005 point pen (it's acid free, waterproof, and fade proof). That thing works wonders.
I'm only picky with what I buy because from 2005-2007, many of the toys I bought ended up being defective/broken right out of the package (mostly Transformers). It happened so much that I became more cautious and looked over things carefully before I decided to buy them. I hate having to return stuff, so I've made it a point to try my best and avoid that. Plus, I'm the type of person who only buys a toy once and only once (no army building), so I try to pick the best one I come across and be done with it.
When it comes to Joes, I've seen better. So I'll be patient and find ones I'm happy with. It's worked for me so far and I have no complaints on my buying practices.
