Got super excited to find both versions of b106 Carmella at Walmart today, until I inspected further...  What the hell Jakks? I mean Mattel... |

I inspect figures like a psychopath before buying, because the paint apps can be so varied...Not just obvious mess-ups like that, but designs on gear and the True-FX on the face being off. This is a Stephanie I saw a few weeks back...  |

That’s from when she had half her collar torn off during a match. It’s their first of the battle damaged sub-sets.   |

Typical QC. Another 1 I’ve seen in person that’s just as bad is WM Mick Foley. Out of 10 I’ve seen only 1 was near perfect. 2 or 3 decent.

Didn't know they were restocking figures now.

The last maybe 10 figures I've bought had screwy paint apps. A lot that aren't even on the faces. I've had several AJ Styles figures missing paint apps on his tattoo and chest hair. My Gold Standard Shelton has the paint apps on one of his kickpads off centered. E48 Dolph's boots' design off on one. SummerSlam Edge with an upside down logo on one leg.
The heads are still a problem too. A Jeff Hardy with one bulging eye. Seth Rollins with extended eyebrows to his hair. Andrade with a paint blotch on his cheek.
At this point for me, it's just part of the game. I do my best to inspect and my best to correct, if I can.

I get True FX being offset, but this is literally missing half her collar. Sucks it was the chase version too.

I’ve learned I need to start inspecting their eyes because they get painted wrong so often on TrueFX figures

I got the old basic Maryse with one eyebrow, and more recently, my 69 Ciampa was missing the hair on its stomach. Also - while not a paint issue, my legends Martel has the badge on almost upside down. I remember a person on here, who got an NXT Black, without the hand tattoo on his chest. I would've been so annoyed if that was me.

It's times like this, that i'm thankful i've never had figures botched this bad. For Carmella, it's almost like when a Printer runs out of ink, and your page is just half complete when it comes out.
The worst paint app (Possibly Part) botch i've ever had, is the first Top Picks Seth Rollins.
They gave him AJ Styles' wrist portion of his gloves, so it looks like Black wrist tape, but it says 'Styles' on it. It's also shorter than the other arms tape, so i'm not sure if they gave him a Styles forearm, or just botched the paint apps.
Since i only buy online, i never know what i'll get sometimes.

I stared at her face for a solid two minutes before I realized that wasn’t it.

How on earth could you mess up that bad? Whatever happened to Quality Control?? LOL
Also, that Stephanie figure makes me feel much better about my inability to paint faces for customs. If that's what the official product is coming out like, I'm doing fine...

One of my WrestleMania Seth Rollins basics that I bought for customization ended up having the true FX on the eyes all messed up and off centered. Completely defeated the purpose of buying it, seeing as how the one thing I needed another one for was the head.

My elite Scott Hall only had half of his facial hair painted. I've been meaning to paint the other side but I never seem to get around to it.

Wow, come on Mattel. I collect a handful of lines.. Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black Series, Power Rangers Lightning, and NECA... Mattel takes the cake for these type of errors. Wish they’d step it up in the QC area, especially considering they know majority of the purchasers are collectors. (On another note, ML wins for most likely to have defective joints).
Im in the same boat, I always look like a weirdo in the store... staring at figures for several minutes comparing the same characters, to make sure Im not pissed off when I get home and take another look.
