The "It's only $20" argument annoys me, in fact I've raised this before, I got pretty mad a few years ago when someone asked Bill about the quality control in a Q&A and his response was effectively "It's a $20 figure, it's not like it's a $200 Hot Toy" You're right, it's not a high end, premium collectible, I accept that, and I accept that here and there there's gonna be flaws. However, an Elite in the UK is £20. I go to work for 35 hours a week so I can maintain my car, pay my mortgage, feed myself, all the other stuff. With what's left over, I like to treat myself to some kids toys, but if I'm gonna choose to invest my leftover money in something, I don't think it's completely unreasonable to expect an action figure to come with limbs that can move without falling off, to come with two eyebrows as God intended, to be able to stand up like a normal human being, to not have paint all over the shop like they work as a coal miner Is it really too much to ask? Notice how you don't have to worry about this crap when you go to HMV and buy a new DVD. Gets home, finds the DVD smashed into 8 pieces and the case is filled with asbestos. Oh well, I guess this wouldn't have happened if I'd splashed out on the 4K ultra HD Blu Ray steelbook edition... Your hilarious man! 😂
