Mine is perfectly fine, thankfully. The calf doesn’t look like it’s too big for the boot? |

Glad I’m not the only one who gets triggered at theiyr’re mistakes. My trigger is: Could of Would of Should of Might of Basically 'of' instead of 'have'. It's could have, not could of!!! They're shortening it to could've. How can this not be noticed??? It really grinds my gears and gets my goat!!!! 😂 |

Seeems like the paint app issue (torso lighter shade compared to arms/neck) is on all D'LO figures, which is really dissapointing and lazy on Mattel's behalf. I for one will not be purchasing him unless it's corrected, which is a big bummer as he was the figure I was most looking forward to. I'll still get him when he arrives in Smyths, I'll just choose carefully! |

I've had 3 D'Los. Every one had a loose left shoulder joint. Like it flopped and spun around without touching it. Mattel's joints have been garbage lately. Either loose or tight to the point of near breakage (my $25 List of Jericho). My d lo is the same thing. Stiff legs, Bigger calves, the leg eventually snapped today. What!? The leg snapped already? I hate these too tight joints! I would be very disappointed with List Jericho being like that. My daughter has broken two of her figures' legs trying to sit them down coz of this. Most of my figs have good articulation, but then I have ones like the Nasty Boys, Andre, Iron Sheik & British Bulldog where I can't pass them on the sit down test. My Akeem figure's legs move in sync! You can't hook a leg with the other one popping up with it! It's like he's trying to do a sit down splash instead of a big boot!! My debut Goldust's torso articulation doesn't even work!! So stiff as if it's been superglued!! It's never moved a millimetre! To be fair, I should've taken it back to the shop. Ah well. |

You're D Lo figure isn't the real deal now better kick it's ass out to the street I'm triggered. Careful there, buddy - I received a 50% warning bar for posting a your/you're CM Punk grammar-slam video... there are some sensitive souls on here.  Mine's kind of off center too, your ab's are pretty well placed though. Hmm, something about your D-Lo figure looks a bit different - can't figure out what it is... |

I had to heat and pop DLo's right hand out and apply a little petroleum jelly on the peg and socket,
because it was stuck and twisting in the peg hole.
that bummed me out

D-Lo looks bad imo. The face again looks really cartoony. I get that the sculpt is there and all but why can't Mattel just do it properly for us?

For the price the quality is ridiculous. Id rather bca type figs at $15. For dlo i used these tiny rubber bands from the dollar store. Like hundreds in a box for $1. Used them in his shoulder joints to stiffen his shoulders. Then i boiled him to loosen up his legs. Then i twisted him sideways and put a glob of superglue on his crotch piece and let it dry so that when i twisted him back there was some friction. All in all pretty ridiculous, but i usually have to do at least two of these things with each elite, along with using the tiny black rubber bands on the wrists.

One persons figure isn’t perfect and it turns into Mattel’s quality is slipping and blah blah blah. I feel like I am the only one who will see a figure has an issue and either fix it myself or return it for another. I don’t know what all of y’all problems are but my figures are all good. I have only had to return 1 Mattel in 7 years. Jakks is a whole different story. I stopped buy them because of how unpredictable it was. The only thing I occasionally have to fix are wrists on my Mattel’s but that’s nothing some super glue won’t take care of. These are toys for children at a reasonable price point.

I've been collecting the line since the beginning. I probably have around 350 figures and only a handful have had quality issues. It seems to me, some people on here look for things to complain about. |
