Probably not a widespread problem, but I noticed that 2 of the 4 Storm Shadows I grabbed off the pegs for fodder work have rusting screws already. They haven't been exposed to water on my part, just straight from package to a figure bag until I'm ready to work on them.

Insane for that to happen already! More quality shortcuts like everything else in this world.

Can't you get replacements ones that are better quality from Home Depot or Lowe's?

Ok these figures are old but even back then we have some plastic quality issues. I think the POC and 30th are the only lines with good quality materials but time will tell. Anyway its like everyone else said it. We all want cheap things and companies want to maximize their profits. China is no longer a cheap hand labor country. So either they move somewhere else taking the risks of other quality issues or they reduce the quality of the materials among other things like packaging, less articulation etc.

As long as they hold together and just are rusted on the head, I paint over my screws anyways.
They probably used screws that had set somewhere moist since the actual plastic does have rust all on it.
