Is it just me or has anyone else had a bunch of figures have loose arms/waists/abs lately? For the past 20 figures, whether it be from retail or online, 15 of them have had either a loose arm or waist. What is happening?

Im mostly a MOC collector but yes the ones i have opened were loose around the ab crunch or one of the arms. Also i have noticed that the paint errors have been more frequent. Quality control hasnt been the best lately.

Yup, about the same ratio too... If I open 20 figures, 15 of them will have at least either a spinny waist or one completely loose arm. Definitely seems to have gotten worse over the last few months. This is mostly basics, although my Ringside IC Rock had a spinny waist too. I wedged some of the clear rubber band thing in there to tighten it.

Basics are incredibly tight when I get them, and usually my elites have 1 or 2 loose limbs. My Andre has loose hands, my batista has a really tight ab crunch and loose calves.

I get alot of loose ankle joints. I have alot of figures that have a hard time standing even with a stand.

I know the QC has been questionable as of late, but I've been lucky enough not to have any problems really.

I bought a Basic 29 Austin last year and the torso does not stay still.

I havent had that many problem, to be honest, probably of the last 10 or so figures, I have had one loose ankle joint on the elite orton, on the ross baf set.

That's funny, I was going to mention this recently. I just opened a Vickie Guerrero figure and she's doing a permanent lean back because her top is loose. Thankfully RSC has her for $6, might have to pick a new one up. I have more figures that have an arm that won't touch their side and is at a 45 degree angle.
