I once got a figure with 2 left feet. I called it the Shawn Michaels pimp limp variant. My CM Punk SES Ringside Exclusive had two left legs. I was soooo butthurt over it.

It's definitely unacceptable when it comes to exclusives. These are meant to be premium items so they should be as good as they possibly could be. I understand that it's not 100% on Mattel because for all we know the paint could run or bleed once it's been packed.
I feel your pain considering I had an issue with the RSC Brock I just ordered. He had a misprinted tattoo. Thankfully, I hadn't opened him and was able to return it for a replacement.
I think you should do what was suggested and just do a head swap. You could easily sell the body on eBay or the classifieds as fodder to make at least some of your money back.

I agree, especially since it's a exclusive it should be perfect

Left leg as in the entire thing was left, thigh to boot? I've had a Mark Henry with two right arms or two left arms -- I forget which, but it looks really weird. I had a Shawn Michaels with two left or right boots. The foot was fine I think, but the boot/calf was the wrong one so the silver logos on it point inwards. And I bought a BOPPV Daniel Bryan on here that had two left thighs. It doesn't look that bad, but it's not great.

I have serious OCD when it comes to the paint job of a figure. Perfection is what I want and that is why I have such a small collection.

Normally, I'm pretty forgiving about small mistakes and such, but... I just got back from Toys R Us where I found the JR BAF set. Looks like they had three cases put out. Took me about ten minutes to look over them all and decided which ones had the least flaws because every single figure had sort of issue. One of the Randy Ortons had his foot on backwards and there were a lot of paint smudges. The CM Punk boot designs were particularly bad and a couple had the strips smeared all over the place. I did manage to find a Punk that wasn't bad at all (a little smudge on his stomach, but otherwise nice). That was literally the only one that didn't have paint smudges on his boots or trunks. I know these things are mass produced and done as quickly as possible, but that was pretty bad today. Worst I've seen it.

Anybody ever receive a figure with only one eyebrow? I've got a Maryse with only one eyebrow. It seems to be getting worse though, as it's almost impossible to find a figure now that hasn't got paint defects and streaks that shouldn't be there. For example, my Bearer BAF Bryan has a black paint line across his trunks, and the other one on the pegs, had the same thing. I'm so picky when it comes to paintjobs on these things - have been since the Hasbro days.

I'd be upset too. It's not a cheap figure.
