So, just got my figures today, was super excited. Box they were shipped in MINT condition, I knew I'd be happy! Then I opened the box...
Both figures have damaged carding (dents/creases) not little things here or there. I'm not a MOC collector, but I'd be pissed if I were, and kinda am anyways after spending $30 each on these plus shipping.
So I take them out of the package and inspect them as usual...
Seth has a torso a bit more loose than normal, but that's ok, no other flaws, and has a black painted on torso/shirt like Deans basic. So if you wanna do a vest-less dean, just get Seth and put deans head on it.
Now for Mr. Dean f'n Ambrose... Great figure, however, whoever was painting mine back at the Mattel production factory forgot to paint the FULL beard shadow on both sides!!! So my dean has this ugly orange shadow on his left side of his face, and normal skin tone on the right side.
Pretty upsetting, I had my hopes way too high. Anyone else have this issue so far?

These type of things happen with mass produced toys.

Did you just complain about the packaging not being mint for figures you intended to open anyways? Wreslingfigs problems.
You might be able to switch the Ambrose out though because of that error.

Did you at Dean has no shirt under his Vest?
Disappointing about the marks. Hopefully it isn't mass produced like the No eyebrows, missing make up, cross eyed mess that was Trish.

No shirt under Deans vest at all. Under Seth's vest there is though. Just get two elite Seth's, and the basic Ambrose. Head and hand swap one of the Seth's with the basic Ambrose and remove the vest off the elite Seth |

Forget the beard, your Ambrose has moles on his face.

RSC has a packaging option that is I think around $2/figure to give the better cards and better packaging. That would be an option for you if you don't want it to happen again. |

Thank you for the heads up |

I hate the fact people can open their packages and do whatever they want with figures and then easily repackage them and sell them as new. I don't blame people for exploiting this, but seriously, Mattel should make it difficult for people to open the boxes without destroying them. I don't want to end up buying a figure "MOC" because I want something untouched by consumers only to discover greasy, dirty fingerprints on them, or a post-production blemish. You can get more money for MOC figures, which I think most people assume are unopened.

You can get more money for MOC figures, which I think most people assume are unopened. I completely agree with you there, I'd hate to buy something online listed as MOC, but it was opened and not stated in descriptions. That's why whenever I sell one that I've opened before, I state the condition of the figure, post in and out of box photos and state the figure was placed back in the box. My figures don't get played with, they are displayed only. To me, hanging a box on the wall is as good as a poster or 8x10. I like to see the 3D detail of the figure as it's displayed next to everyone else as well as scale. But everyone has their own way of displaying their figures etc.. |

After seeing the boxes together like that, really loving the new packaging.
