That could have something to do with the Crimson Bat being of lesser quality.

I'm not sure when they moved, I wondered if the glossy, mismatched parts were part of this issue too

Exactly. Another example would be, while the boots are different, Flint's essentially on the same buck as Duke.

I don't disassemble my figures like some of you guys, I tend not to notice reused bodies, in your opinion who would you say has the most useful of these bucks right now?

That's exactly what happened. Think it started with the zarana/dusty/Crimson Guard wave. Pretty sure anything that has mismatched knees or elbows was made at the new factory. No clue why the new factory is incapable of doing the same quality job as the previous factory, but there's definitely something wrong at the new one. The Crimson BATs I received yesterday are by far the absolute worst classified figures I've had the displeasure of opening. Sure there's been QC issues here and there, but this one takes the cake. The extra head has a smaller hole so it will barely go on, the sockets in the thighs are not deep enough to properly set the legs and hips right, the whole figure is floppy, the hands will not stay in the backpack, the plastic feels cheaper than the previous two BATs, like its not as dense. Hopefully this is a one time thing and not a sign of things to come.

Being 0-13 biased, I'd say Stalker (though I think Breaker might've been the first with it even though his sleeves were rolled up).

Breaker uses most of the same body parts as Beach Head, Firefly, and Commando Snake Eyes. Similar, but totally different from Stalker.

You're right. I still think Stalker has the most useful buck.

Really seems that this entire wave is a dumpster fire. I’m ready to just skip over it now and await the Shipwreck wave.
