I'm wondering if your Elite 38 have factory defects too.
Every figure in my elite 38 set has some type of paint job problem. (I have no pics) roman reigns had white paint smeared in his R vest shoulder area, APA's logo on their shirt have some missing paint, Adam Rose has the paint they used for his lips on his beard. Daniel and Macho have some minor paint on parts that aren't suppose to be.
Im just wondering if this set was rushed out by the people that build this figures. Usually it may be one figure in a set that has a paint problem which is not too bad, but this set seems like all of them.
Does anybody else have problems like this on their elite 38?

I didn't have any problems with e38. But both my rsc Scott halls had paint defects and also my e39 Bulldogs hairline is messed up.

Faarooq had black paint splatters on his face from the application of his hair etc.
I removed with some acetone though.

I went into Smyths today and got Faarooq, Bradshaw, Reigns and Bryan. The guy had to get them down from a box up top. I was pretty wary at first as it meant I didn't get to look at 3-4 of each, but alas, to my surprise all four were pretty much perfect! Which was surprising as I imagined the APA's tshirts and Bryan's painted face to have plenty of problems

QC is bad at Mattel for defects, it's just luck of the draw.

That's why I don't buy online anymore, it's best to buy in-store so you can check the a paint yourself.

My Roman's perfect. I regularly see figures with bad paint apps, but I just don't buy them. Jakks were worse though.

There's definitely something to that. I generally had no issues with the paint apps on Elite 36, nor did most of the ones that I saw. Elite 35 however was atrocious. All the ones I had seen were typically jacked up.

Even then, you can't guarantee perfect joints and such, the TRU Rollins I got was cherry picked and when I got home and opened it, the torso was loose as all hell. Quality control should be better than this.

I think you get some of these in every set some with good paint apps and some with bad apps
