you might also notice the produced Rookie figures look nothing like the production paint scheme, it was totally off, supposedly it was a factory error that they tried to fix but the supposed fix looked really bad as it was only a half fix.

Macfarlane has had quality issues from day one. With its recent layoffs, I'd expect them to cut corners even further. I do have a soft spot for their Corpse Bride 12 inch dolls. These are the only action figures with clothing they ever made.

if only hasbro had done these figs...then think of the potential customs...of course there would be the massively over inflated prices...but damni hate mcfarlanes work. the stuff looks great but thats as far as it goes...if the thing aint some statue figure its a crappy quality figure.

Mine broke too-- second it came out of the package. I'm super gentle with my figures also (although I do play with them). I like McFarlane's sculpts, but it's no surprise that with the lack of articulation and crappy QC they've been hurting as of late.

Throughout the entire series they had breakage trouble. Figs breaking as you get them out of packaging, figs with limbs that randomly pop out, or the stiff joints until you break them thing. They also had trouble with the scale of a few weapons on certain figs. I collect mostly the spartans and grabbed a few of the odst's and was very disappointed. The rookie's arms are a constant reminder of a FAIL for quality. I am looking at those mongooses wanting one terribly but I am afraid to even look at it the wrong way as they look "delicate".

I remember the worst figure I ever got (off topic a little, but had to mention it!). It was Movie Maniacs Ash. He didn't even make it home before his head and arm fell off (broken, not fixable!).

About half of the McFarlane figures Ive bought are crap. Most disappointing was the Ash Williams figure. About three turns of his head and it popped off. If it were Linda Id be okay with that.
EDIT: I feel your pain sir. |
