Soooo, As some may have noticed, I was unbelievably excited to receive Samoa Joe in the mail and of course with my luck, right out of the box the left hand falls off. I'm an international collector so I pay out the ass for these figures, the least Mattel could do is have some proper quality control. All I'm going to get is a stupid f*cking voucher, which means nothing since I'll never find him in stores due to the crapty distribution in my. Totally ruined my day.

My Joe's left hand is extremely loose as well. Honestly the quality of Elites has been going down IMO. I also got the RSC Jericho recently and his left arm is loose as can be without falling off

do you think it could be that its summer time and plastic in hot planes or vans might be causing the loose joints ?

It's called an isolated incident. Sure does suck a few of you have had an issue, but unless a high percentage of this certain figure has this happen. It's not a qc issue. Mass produced items have issues happen.
I understand the anguish of getting a figure that breaks, but I wish there was a higher understanding of qc issues.

I also got the RSC Jericho recently and his left arm is loose as can be without falling off My Joe's left hand is super loose as well and my Anvil's left leg is much shorter than his right. Also on the same order I got the dudleys and bubba's upper part of his tattoo is on the wrong side of his arm. Oh and B63 Heyman barley had a left eyebrow. The only figures I didn't have problems with in this order were elite Owens and D-von. The QC is getting worse and worse. Unfortunatley I don't ever see the QC getting any better.  |

That sucks, man. I've been ordering from RSC for about 3 years now, and I haven't had a single problem. Not even so much as a bent card. I'm probably jinxing the hell out of myself, I'll shut up.

I think this is more of a shi**y Chinese labor problem than it is anything else. With any mass market toy from the major companies, things like this are going to happen.

Makes me worried as I have Joe on the way.
Honestly, the only problem I've had with a Mattel figure breaking is E19 Lesnar. Same thing as this, his hand broke off.
Then there's Elite Paige's elbow joint not connecting to the peg on the inside.
Other than that, I've thankfully been pretty lucky other than paint issues.

Have never had a problem like this with any figure, but something that's becoming way too common is warped feet/legs from how they get packaged. Both my Hart and Anvil have that problem, along with almost every other elite I open these days.

My guess, from prior experiences with a Kane boot - is maybe the paint on the hands was not fully dry when they assembled the figure & when trying to move the hand it broke. If I run into the issue these days I just add a hairdryer to it ri warm the plastic before trying to move. Although it if was loose before you did anything I have no clue why.

See, now THIS might actually be an issue. If there are a ton of reports about the same hand being loose and/or falling off, that is indicative of a problem.
Usually we get the "ERMAGERD QC-ITCHOOZ" because of a spot of paint or one guy with a loose ankle.

Who cares glue it on. I'd be more concerned about the apparent blob on the end of his eyebrow.
