We can still talk about the poor quality of some of the latest figures though. If you charge a premium price, people are going to expect a premium product. In the action figure game, forearms/elbow pegs that won't stay in the bicep socket is a pretty big fail at any price, but it's especially galling at damn-near $30 a figure. And that's just one example of the many issues with these figures. As far as I'm concerned, that's reason enough to quit buying the product. No rumor-drama needed.
I'll definitely bring up if I see any of that on my newer figures. The only thing I got so far was the loose Ankles on my 10th anniversary knights and the armor scratches.

The face paint on the 2 Legionnaires I got is def sub-par for BFS, imho. The near-absence of white sclera makes them look like RAH Joes.
I've not dipped into any of the non-18th HACKS-based figures they've done, but it feels like the 'finesse' is lacking from the newer figures, imho. |

It would stand to reason that they?re the same height, as it?s mostly existing tooling. The 10th knights were brand new torsos

Well I see nothing particularly bad about the legionary's eyes I got.
Decided to buy another 6 or so to see if they're the shit or just plain shit.

I checked a new Eurayle against and old blank and they seem the same height from what I can tell.

In the process of 'absorbing' Erik and Catrina's leaving, I learned that Dave Proctor had apparently quit BFS a while before. I had thought he'd just moved to China (where his wife's from, iirc) to work things factory-side; and had helped other lines get through production on the side. But now I'm wondering if him quitting is why HACKS have dropped in quality.
