MDT needs to lean on the factories to toss these figures in the reject pile. Cheap business practice to continue to let these figures hit release. Disrespectful to paying customers

Quality Control? So it’s not a quality problem if it has flaws that can be prevented? You can tell me that I nit pick way too much, but I’d prefer to not have a figure with dried up glue and chipping paint on the head.

Disrespectful to paying customers That's not MDT's call. At all. It's still a mass-produced, twenty dollar toy. Anyone here can huff, puff, and arble garble all they want...but it is still a toy. If you're worried about where you're putting your money, buy precious stones and metals. They'll last a helluva lot longer. Quality Control?

I mean, you do know they don't have some guy sitting at the end of the line going over each and every figure that passes by them with a fine-toothed comb, right? A couple of missed spots of paint and some dried glue are to be expected when you're talking about a mass produced toy. If every figure coming off the line was missing its left arm? Yeah, someone would step in and reset something to make sure that stopped happening.

Yeah, someone would step in and reset something to make sure that stopped happening. I typically agree with you, but today Igotta not. Paint flaws are part of QC. This would tell me that the deco stamps are holding dry paint thus causing a line of error figures. If the stamp is off centered it is a QC error and needs fixed. But I can assure you with 100% positivety that there is NOT someone eyeballing each piece as it comes down the factory line. Mass produced toys and anything that doesn’t have FDA regulations to follow, typically check a random figure every hundred or so and thats IF the wuality control manager decides to pull his fat ass out of his chair and peel himself away fron the other 9 million tasks at hand.

The only thing that really sucks is the glue bit, I'd see if you can return it if it bothers you, or call Mattel's customer support.

QC issues are technically those that effect the safety and use of the figure.
This is a paint application mishap. Something easily over looked.
Also, these things are not looked at under a microscope by a collector before they leave. Usually a sample is checked at beginning of production and maybe randomly through out, to ensure it is up the QC standards...primarily those that make sure a 3 year old won’t choke on it.
It sucks, but it happens when buying $20 mass produced doll

All I can say that stuff just happens, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
