just got the flair figure today. love the attire choice. the sculpt is beautiful. the paint is a little sloppy on mine. whatever no big deal. but there is a severe lack of neck on the figure. the head sits too low. wondering if i can find a higher neck ball to insert into the torso to make the head sit higher. but i'm bummed because this is another one of those issues that persists--elite 29 punk, the last undertaker, etc--figures' heads sitting too low. kind of an eye sore. image by bharrisfan, on Flickr image by bharrisfan, on Flickr image by bharrisfan, on Flickr image by bharrisfan, on Flickr

I would just put some putty in and place head on top to lift it up I received mine today and had a bad paint app to his head Disappointed because I paid 26 dollars and mattel paint apps are getting worse with every series that comes out

I personally like this fig a real lot. I've never noticed that. Add him to the list with punk

Never really thought about it but the neck is a bit weird. Nice fig either way!

That's really odd. My figure has a clear neck and looks great. Your's is very visibly different.

i don't think its nit picking. When you are spending now $20, $25, and $30 for elites, DM's, and exclusives you should have better quality control. The one I have doesn't have a low place head but the paint apps are horrendous. Some people may say "oh these are just toys". For the price we pay for the elites, dm's, and exclusives they aren't tailored for kids. They are tailored for collectors. Basics, rumblers and those types of figures are tailored for kids. all i'm saying is Mattels quality control was pretty good but over the last year it has been noticeably worst. with the prices going up this should not be the case.

I noticed the lack of neck on e27 Taker. I noticed the lack of neck on e29 cm sucks. I notice the lack of neck on Flair also. This is a bummer man

Here is a pic of mine. The neck is pretty good on this one, you may want to return it.

How can mattel raise prices and quality go down? No matter what price point you want to use, if you raise prices than the least that should happen is maintaining current level of quality. But mattel hasn't done that their quality has gotten worse with the increase in price

Price does matter and paying 25 for a figure should allow me to have no smeared paint and feet put on backwards These higher priced figures are tailored to collectors not kids throwing them around the house Those kids are buying basics and flex force With that, quality control needs to be better provided

There is no retail here but most things can be purchased online.
