Better eye!
While I won't call you easy, you raise some points that work for you. I'd like to think the company that created the figure would have a better eye for detail or better QC. Unless that is a look limited to 50-100 figures, then they made the third-party sellers happy.

I think it's the opposite of me being "easy." I just keep shit in perspective, and I dunno...they're just toys, ya know? And like I pointed out, from a relative cost standpoint, these are head and shoulders above the other alternatives for most people. Maybe not hardcore collectors, but for most of us.

I think they got confused (for lack of a better word) by the card-art, which features an all white belt.
I noticed the missing paint, and it sucks, but it's an easy fix with a Sharpee paint pen. Could also be it's an issue peculiar only to that guy's figure. I look at it this way: for $40 you get 2 genuine Hasbro GI Joe o-ring figures with awesome classic articulation, accessories and card art. What are the cons to these so far? Cheap cardstock, compromised filecards and some possible paint issues. What's the alternative? Vintage figures on the secondary market that are old, brittle, discolored and spendy as fuck? Phony "retro" with great cardstock and filecards, but shitty artwork, 5 points of articulation and minimal accessories for $18? Yeah, easy choice for me. |

My only complaint is that he has such beady little eyes. When you look at the original the eyes/face are just perfect. I ordered one because I'm not trying to spend the money on an OG that might eventually yellow. Pros and cons to everything I guess.

At least the rivets are painted this time.
Where did they pack SE's extra weapons? The promos showed him with some extra gear.

I see. I thought it was meant to be on the card, and I thought thise weapons may have been shown by accident. Wonder why they did it that way or even bothered including them.

Because it helps justify the "premium" price (along with the packaging). Plus, extra stuff is good stuff.
