Doesn't almost every Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose have weird feet? My elites will only stand in the most awkward of stances

All of the elite Shield figures have their boots on the wrong legs.

Can't be any worse then Jakks. I still remember when I got a Rey Mysterio figure back in like 06 and there was a live bug in the package. I threw the figure out and wrote a angry worded letter to them. Someone could have repacked it, but still, crap was nasty.

A bug wouldn't live from Jakks' factory to the distribution center to the store. Are you that disgusted by insects?

We pay 25-30 for regular elites in Canada and one thing on every figure seems messed up. Sucks. The first QC issue I personally purchased was two left feet on my Elite 17 Kofi. Major bummer. These days I have been lucky enough to dodge QC issues. On another note that Wu-Tang/Bruins hat is dope!

I think it's always been the same: Pretty bad. One of my first basics was WrestleMania Heritage Edge, and the boot was all screwed up. I saw others on shelves with the same defect, too.

This could be the cynic in me... but what it boils down to, I believe, is that in the infancy of their deal, Mattel were concerned about getting everything right - hence the better quality of the earlier figs. However, years down the line - now they've got their feet under the table, so-to-speak, they're not so concerned. They know it's their gig for the forseeable future, and like with JAKKS before them, there's no alternative, so if we want wrestling figures, we've no choice but to buy Mattel and if the quality's getting worse, then we'll have to like it or lump it. I don't see an improvement happening, because as we keep buying these things by the truckload, regardless, there's no real reason for them to act.

Everyone should ask for vouchers anytime they get a figure with poor QC. When they keep giving out a bunch of vouchers you will see how fast Mattel corrects the QC. When people asked if I wanted to see the legends line return and I said no, this is why. Mattel is already pumping out figures so fast leading to poor QC. Why would you want figures rushed out only to be excited and then they have poor QC? Clearly this is what happened with Flair. Mattel knew how bad we wanted one, rushed it out and most of them have poor QC.

buying billy gunns for customizing and for different displays is understandable. Regarding vouchers, I agree but everyone would have to do it and that is not realistic

You know, another factor in this "problem" is the fact that probably half of us didn't even start buying these when they came out (so now it seems more of a problem cause more of us are buying and being vocal). I did start back in 2010 and I've only ever had 1 figure break on me (knock on wood) and that was WMH Undertaker. As far paint apps, I do see them maybe 1 or two times a month on average. So there is a bit of room for improvement but In my experiences, not so bad.

Picked up the Aj and Big E battle pack from Smyths today.. they had 5 of the and only one of the pack had no marks on the front of the figures so i got that one and when i opened it the back of Aj was covered in black spots and the back of her shorts were all scratched? Ridculous quality control recently..
