Has anyone else seen the terrible quality control on the paint jobs on the new figures?
I was looking to by the dvd battle packs but when they a couple came to my wally world, they paint jobs on the eyes where so bad i decided against it. I am not joking when i say they were so off target it made the figures look like sloth off of the old 80's movie goonies. The comic and dvd battle packs seem to be the worst at this. It isn't too common but the crap always gets sent to my walmart! It is frustrating because then i have to buy someones expensive stuff on ebay. If you want to see some really bad hasbro work however, check out the eye ball jobs on the indiana jones figures. They suck. Someone is asleep at the wheel in china. However, hasbro is certainly not paying the factory workers enough so maybe hasbro deserves it. |

I can go on and on about bad paint apps, but since this thread is about eyes I will stick to that.
I once saw a Rock N' Roll figure with one eye painted on his cheek. Another figure that I have had a problem with badly painted eyes is single carded Lady Jaye with the cap. I had 3 of them from various releases in the line, the original with the one foot peg stand, and the more recent version with the 2 foot peg stand. In all cases she has had problems with her right eye. For some reason it it always painted bigger than the left. She looks are fugly that way. Anyone else have this problem with their Lady Jaye?

I think all has been exceptional well. Except for Capt. Ace!!!
He looks like as if he saw a ghost! |

Back during Spy Troops, I bought a Blackout who had his eyeball painted around the side of his head.

The eyes on my battle pack figures seemed OK. Just styinks they went w/flesh colored plastic for Lady J this time around instead of painting her. Destro's face in my pack was perfect and the head has now taken the place of the first chrome headed Destro (on v.1 body)
