I also noticed that the tail on my Skyhawk is bent to one side. So that's nice. :(

I just gotta say that it is really sad to me that the norm with most US toys at the moment is bad paint. We should not be surprised to find out we were one of the lucky ones who got good paint aps. Look at the premium lines like the TMNT classics...you will be lucky as all hell if you find a Donatello or Michelangelo that do not have wonky eyes. It's just strange to me that the prices keep going up, but the overall quality is on a steep decline across the board. Star Wars, DC, Marvel and Joe...but ESPECIALLY Joe! What gives, man? I really don't feel like I should have to go through every toy at the store just to find one that has acceptable eyes.

So, I received my SDCC Danger at the Docks set from Toys R Us. Best as I can tell, the figure has two right (gun-holding) hands. Does anyone have a Flint figure that had two left hands, that could trade?
Or, what is another readily-available, cheap GI Joe figure that has a hand that is painted in the same color of brown and in the same mold as what this Flint's left hand should be that I could acquire and use to swap with Flint? Any advice or help is much appreciated. Toys R Us and Hasbro have been of no help. |

If you want, someone did a mod where they took the hands of Retaliation Ultimate Firefly and replaced Flints hands with them, and it made the figure better. You might want to try that if you can find an Ultimate Firefly

Somebody on eBay was actually trying to sell a SDCC Flint with two left hands as some sort of "rare" error for $70. Maybe try contacting him for a trade because no one in their right mind would pay what he's asking.

This just happened to me as well. Does anyone know a fix? Drilling it out is the only thing I can think of.

Well, if it makes any of you feel better about Hasbro's quality control, I received a Ori Toys Acid Rain Speeder MKII for my birthday this weekend, (yeah, I know, awesome!) And the pilot who comes with it has two right hands! Thats ridiculous for the price they ask. Back to BBTS.Com it goes..

I opened one of my heat vipers and his back looks to have a soldering iron burn. I'm sure it was f.o.d. in the mold that caused the plastic to settle incorrectly. :(
It's disappointing that the quality has declined. It's way worse then 25th line. I didn't mind quality issue at $5 a figure, but at $10+ a figure it's bullshit. Last edited by hahoo3; 08-19-2014 at 11:29 PM.. |

Opened a Danger at the docks,and flint has no shot gun!! Instead all I got was this blue quick running,fly looking bug?
Never seen one of these before! It was tiny,and started to quickly run around inside the box when I lifted out a parts bag!! I quickly ran outside with the box,and took this picture while it was grooming it's wings,seconds before I crushed it! If I send this guy back to china,do I get flint's shotgun? |
