Just recently I picked up the dvd pack of the MASS device with the MASS mini series and the figure quality is terrible. My cobra troop can't stand or hold the gun, Stalker's paint is kinda smudged, snake eyes was ok but the baroness was not standing and couldn't hold anything I have. Is my pack just crap or are they typically like this?

My trooper from the #5 pack had floppy knees..worst QC issue I've ever seen... they just flop all over like a total POS. I think I've read about others having issues as well, so it's probably widespread.

I always study my figures before making purchases. Trust me, I've seen some crappy paintjobs. One time, I saw Quick Kick dvd pack but chose not to buy it because the whole side of his head, including ear was painted black. What the heck was Hasbro thinking to package those and ship it off. Perhaps the assembly line don't have end products inspectors like the cars.

Mine was OK, but I have seen some rough looking ones.

Cobra Fox, what fun would it be if you didn't have to sandblast and repaint your joes!!! Don't you enjoy spending extra money on paint, brushes, and hobby supplies to fix your joes? Come on, lets not be lazy by looking for joes with good paint jobs!

I've noticed that the figures in the DVD packs and comic packs seem to be of lower quality than the single packs. I also think the quality of the line overall is lower than it was in the heyday of ARAH. Mattel has been having similiar QC issues. I wonder if it comes down to the fact that the Hong Kong factories were more competent than the Chinese factories.

In addition to not having QC in the factories, I am sure they don't have safety meetings or lunch breaks either!

My chrome CC's head snapped right off at the ball joint. Thankfully with a little dremel work I was able to fix it by replacing it with another CC.

been saying it for years....ever since star wars started with battle packs, and comic packs.
the mulitpack figures are almost always shitty quality. there are a few gems IMO... CP firefly, radioactive snake eyes, animated snake eyes....but the best one for me in any multipack.........DUSTY! but, lets be honest...when you breakdown the price per in a multipack....those figs come out to much less than a carded.....not a great excuse for bad quality, but it tends to make me a bit more forgiving. |
