All the Injustice 2 figures, and 3 Aliens figures. Most of them I had to return for breakage and other major QC or cosmetic issues. One of them arrived with an arm visably broken in the package and I had 2 or 3 others come with build issues like the the arms assembled backwards or 2 right feet. I'm currently stuck with a broken Aliens Bella because I thought I was good after heating it up when I first got it, but then it broke a year or so later.

The aforementioned Bella, the guy with the robot leg and the gal with the dew rag (I can't think of their names at the moment).

Ahh K, yea they had been too hard for me to find so I already wrote them off, the Bella experience confirmed that. I heard the xenos started out crappy but the new aliens ones (brown, blue, crouching) were improved

Hopefully, Hasbro's license includes quality guarantees.

All such contracts usually do, but enforcing it is the hard part. It gets harder with a smaller property too because there isn't a lot of time or assortments of product to iron out QC issues, and there isn't much incentive in keeping a license like that anyway. I mean, someone like Disney with a major property like Star Wars with guaranteed perpetual sales can and will impose penalties and shop the license around to many other interested parties if they aren't satisfied with the performance of the current license-holder. GI Joe though, with a market that's guaranteed up to a point thanks to rabid but small fanbase of gotta-have-it early-adopters, but is also finite and limited in growth potential...well, there's a good chance Hiya may not even care to bid for the license again when its up, so there's no real outside incentive for them to fret about quality. I personally don't think they have a culture of quality anyway. The Chinese business mindset is generally more American than Japanese, and profit margin tends to take precedence over all other considerations.

Hey, guys; maybe y'all shouldn't be putting so much stock in opinions based on product made more than 5years ago.

Think he might be talking about the figures man. Kind of agree though. They might have fixed their methods.

Not sure - just posting about how my set came. SmokeBellew had some bad experiences with the figures as well which may be newer than 5 years, however I'm mostly interested in the Xenos.
