I don't know whats going on, but in the past couple months, I can't get over how poor the paint apps are on Joes and Star Wars. Before, the hardest task was to find the figures. Now, its trying to find figures with decent paint apps. Seems like it started with the resolute 5 pack and has just gotton worse. You notice this as well?

Been seeing that a lot, too, especially on the Python Patrol Crimson Guards...

Yup, noticed the officers mark on his helmet was on the side of it instead of the front.

Yeah, I've noticed some sloppy paint on mine lately. Especially the Resolute 5 pack.
The Marvel Universe figures, too. I saw a Capt. America and his head was almost painted all blue. So I chose to buy the one with the big goofy crossed eyes.

Meh, paint apps have been an issue since almost day one. Two words for you Ship-wreck (yeah, I know it's one, but two sounds more dramatic...). It is an ongoing problem that gets worse when demand schedules are higher...I've yet to see a blue Resolute trooper in person that didn't have a mask/nose issue (that's why I haven't kept one yet). So you have to be discriminating with your purchases. Otherwise, you end up with substandard figs.

Hasbros paint apps weren't always spot on but they started getting worse with the Indiana Jones figures and when Hasbro asked about this in one of their Q&A's they admitted that some figures were made at a new facility and their was a learning curve to the production. I haven't bought a Resolute pack because every one I found has Cobra Troopers that are cross-eyed.

Saw a fresh shipment of MU yesterday, and the paint apps on all the ms. marvels were fairly crappy, you could see black coming through the flesh tone, etc. There were some captain america's there lacking in the good paint as well. I don't mind paying what they ask, as long as I get what I'm paying for, which I'm not.

I buy my figs solely based on how well they are painted so this is a huge issue for me as well. I had a hell of a time finding a decent Cobra diver as well as a BAT, Deep Six, and Trip Wire most recently. The pics of the movie figs that I've seen so far don't look too promising either (for the few I plan to purchase). At least there will be a glut of those so finding decent ones shouldn't be as painful as choosing the 25th Anniversary figs lately.
