Since E43 had a lot of issues in the earlier releases I was curious if they were fixed for the final line released as they sometimes do this kind of thing.
So for anyone who's recently bought the line, is the paint better and is Joe's left hand as loose/break off easily?

I just went through 3 Joes. I bought the first one and the hand was wiggly and broke off as soon as I took it out of the package. The second one I exchanged it for was even worse with paint smears and an even worse hand that was warped. The third one I went through is just very loose. I have no idea why all the Joes are like this. They need to retool that wrist swivle. The fact I we through 3 Joes just goes to show how bad the QC is.

Mine is slightly loose, but I'm probably not going to mess with it.

Never had a problem with my Joe minus a smear on his forehead that was easily taken care of with clear nail polish.

I don't have Joe yet i'm waiting for it to hit retail in my area. If the hands are loose when I get mine, hopefully the basic Joe coming next year has arms that aren't loose so you can swap them.

Never had a single problem when it cones to mattel figures. I could understand the frustration if an arm falls off, but I'm not one to complain about smudges or stains. To me people complain to much about the smallest marks on figures.

I have received an entire case of E43 last week, every single one (with exception of ADR) still had issues, smudges on head, face, pants, chipped color on Samoa Joe's shorts and loose limbs....so I guess the series still has flaws  very disappointing. |

I'm usually a very busy collector but with my Elite 43 issues and all the fused hips/gaps between parts lately I've had to seriously reassess if this is a worthwhile hobby anymore and the answer I've come to is no. I'm selling off 95% of my collection and taking an extended hiatus.
I never thought I'd fall out of the hobby since I've been so die hard into it since Elite Series 1 but I feel we're not really getting the high quality collectibles anymore, they've turned into every other cheap Chinease made toy.

I hate when collectors leave the hobby. It's like being home alone on a Sunday afternoon. |
