I've bought quite a few new figures this month and I must say the whole process of comparing paint jobs in store has been far less tedious

I don't remember which figures I last bought, but my Harlem Heat Booker came with a blob of glue stuck on his shoulder, Stevie has a loose bobble head amongst other issues with other figures I've gotten.

Tatanka came today and is amazing.
IRS also came and he has paint on his cheek.
QC on the lost legends was garbage but otherwise I think quality control is generally good but can be hit or miss.

I've been pretty pleased lately, but did have to pass on an Earthquake with chest hair only painted on the outside of his singlet straps and a DM Warrior that had half the Ultimate Maniacs logo missing.

I've always like y2j but never been a HUGE fan (even he'll say his title runs were less than stellar) but I can't believe he's the best thing on raw still. I give him all the credit he deserves after this owens thing. Anyways, oh yes Regal drinking urine...smh lol I believe this issue is packaging related though right? That's why every figure needs the men's room..? They need to stop packaging guys in poses. Great for you MOC collectors but some times the guys are really f'd up cuz of this. I don;t know why the bother doing this to the point where it alters the figure..? |

I have mixed opinions. Joint tightness has been decent, but I have yet to see an Elite 45 Reigns or Rollins that has a belt that is close to perfect. Either the side plates are crooked, the strap is cut crooked, or both :/ The strap on mine is a mess I wonder if you asked they would send you a new one. |

Glad I'm not the only one whose Regal is having a royally bad day (I'm sorry). |

OMG dude the lost legendS were UTTER GARBAGE. As someone else said (whom I questioned before and apologize) TRU canada had 3 packs of legends figures (reg 79.99) for 30$. I only got one (to swap parts with l6 warrior and make the best version possible) but 4 out of the 5 bundles had warrior in it and ALL of them were messed up. I took the one with the best body but all the heads were jacked up. Just sloppy, nonsense. I didn't check anyone else's paint (I took taker, warrior and hbk) cuz I was just checking warrior but I really wanted a kamala but I assume they were all bad too. Hell, even the taker figs just flop around. I do remember the magnum t.a. looked bad too... No wonder they were all bundled - must have been a bad batch of too many to throw away?  lol (If any canadians need the hbk it's the only one I didn't open) |

I expected to have a tough time finding a good HOF 2 pack Warrior, but mine is perfect aside from the hair being just *slightly* glued crooked.
I must have gone through 50 each of the Hart Foundation before finding ones that were at least decently passable.

My AJ had some looseness and my KO was a floppy mess, but my TNF Savage was flawless. Seems hit or miss for me.

He cannot be posed. Plastic feels very cheap. Paint job is OK on each figure -magnum ta, stiff joints in hips. Eyes painted poorly on most figs I have seen -undertaker, loose boops, loose head, super loose waist -warrior, stiff hips Michaels and Jericho are both good quality for me |

I think the paint apps have been better. I do not like how some og=f the figures are packaged though. I have opened a few with warped legs.

I am new to collecting the Mattel line, I must say that apart from the patchy paint work on some figures I am a bit shocked by how prominent the mould/mold lines are on the likes of the arms and shoulder joints. Then again I can imagine the man power needed to rectify that is not justifiable for mass produced action figures.

I was shocked, I got Elite 47 AJ Styes, Kevin Owens, Asuka, and WM Basic Undertaker yesterday.....all flawless. No paint defects, no broken, loose or screwed up joints....totally shocked. I expected at least some issues, hopefully nothing bad enough to warrent a return/replacement, but all was good.
I'm always worried ordering online because you don't get to see it first. In stores I'm always standing there comparing joints and paint jobs to try and get the best figure.

Good to hear. I've had decent luck with online purchases overall, but I think I probably looked at 25 E45 Lugers before I found one that didn't have major paint smudges.

Seen a ton of paint problems with the brand new TNF singles and 3 packs This. If quality control took a positive turn it was after these sets were released. Sting's gigantic head and lack of a neck look silly. Paint issues also existed. But my Tatanka and AJ were perfect. |

Nothing major lately. My wild Samoans had stiff legs but hot water fixed that. My e45 del Rio had black paint under his eye. My elite Neville had black splotch on one arm and messed up paint on the other but I was stuck with the basic from the Paul bearer baf wave so easy swap.
