I just want to hear from everyone on the forum on their feelings of Mattels quality control. We all know the prices are going up and for me personally the quality control (paint apps, stress marks, broken parts) has gotten worse. I just received my dm flair and the head had paint app problems that really ruin getting this figure. There have been 6 billy gunn figures that I purchased that had knee logos smeared. I bought 2 exclusive cm punk where his eye brows were missing parts. I bought a ultimate warrior elite and he had stress marks on his neck. Is it me or is their quality control has gone down? Should we just accept that we pay 25-30 dollars for dm's and exclusives and we have missing paint or paint marks, logos on knee pads all blotched on the figures?

Most of my early elites were impeccable.
Over the last year, not so much. I pray hard over my online orders because I see A LOT of QC problems at retail

We pay 25-30 for regular elites in Canada and one thing on every figure seems messed up.

most common problem I seem to be encountering is that figures are missing paint on their eyebrows

The paint apps have gotten a bit sloppy, but the figures have improved since the beginning. There were SO MANY Elites from 1-15 that had frozen hips. My Elite 6 CM Punk's legs both snapped off right after taking it out of the package. Back then I didn't know you could contact Mattel and get a voucher, so I just lost $20.

Speaking of Ric Flair DM, mine ALSO came with what looks to be paint chips on the back of his hair. I'm not too happy atm. Waiting for my second one to arrive to see what shape it's in

complaining about $25-30 is nothing! Compare that to Australia and the UK where they have to pay more than $40, so we're lucky on that
also, i don't mind if something slightly askew

[/a][/quote]That must have pissed you off.[/quote] I went from being super excited to see it in person, to a really elongated frown... Been pacing waiting on #2 to arrive. It better be PERFECT! I'm supposed to get one of these signed in two weeks dammit!!!

So some slip-ups are bound to happen this is not a $60 S.H. figuarts, infact; it is far from it
