Happy Holidays Y'all
Did anyone else have the following issues with their recent Elite 33 haul:
• Seth Rollins: Black wrist tape missing on left arm • X-Pac: on back of card there a sticker on mine replacing the original detail (ie name, height, attire date, etc) problem is, the sticker was for Junkyard Dog, so my X-Pac had all of Junkyard Dog's info on the back.
Anyone else?
Sorry no pics.

The most recent Big E basic has a sticker over his signature on the back of the card, it was revealed to have Big Show's signature. Titus O'Neal's latest basic doesn't even have a signature on the back. The Summer Slam Heritage Undertaker from this past Summer had a sticker that covered up a WWF logo. Ringside Exclusive Edge has a sticker on the back correcting information. These seem to be pretty common lately, but packaging errors aren't really a concern (personally speaking) given how often (especially lately) they've been happening.

I think paint problems are becoming a bigger issue too. It's getting really bad to the point there's no easy fixes....

I bought the entire E32 wave at Target last night, two of them have bad paint jobs that I must exchange and one of them potentially has a bad one. If I can find a replacement for the third one, I'll exchange it too. I was so bummed after I got home. Its not often I walk into a store when a new wave hits and get all 6 in one shot.

We shouldn't have to fix a toy that's brand new pulled out of packaging. I don't care how easy the fix is, it shouldn't be that way. If I wanted to fix every figure I bought, then they should just put pieces in a box with paint, sealer and a brush.

If I wanted to fix every figure I bought, then they should just put pieces in a box with paint, sealer and a brush. That's what I'm saying, it has become a regular thing around here its ridiculous, most of the time we pay $20 for a figure that looks like its been played with. My E31 Vader has scuff marks all over his back, legs don't want to bend forward. I understand they all won't be perfect but this has become Russian roulette. Now the packages are going to have many errors.

I agreed on the term Russian roulette. The amount we paid to get frozen hip bad paint job etc is not justified... I encounter problem with bray.. Now even if I wanna get bray at rsc is not possible as its out of stock..

Absolutely. My girlfriend will often buy me figures and now it's to the point I can't even order online or have her check in the store without having to sift through multiple of each figures. This is just a SMALL number of figures Ive had to return and exchange because of bs paint apps and sloppy/poor quality control in the last month
Basic 42 Nattie - no lipstick on bottom lip basic 42 Cena- entire inner portion of wristband left unpainted. Battle packs 30 jake AND ambrose. Ambrose had black paint streaks covering his left arm and shoulder .. Jake has the entire bottom left leg missing the detail / design on tights Basic 44 kane - no left eye. Yes. He literally just had a white eye. Ordered from mattelshop. Elite 30 brock .. Opened and right arm was disconnected from torso. Elite 31 jimmy Uso. Entire left side of goatee unpainted and black streaks down his right leg and shorts. Basic 44 big e - right side of logo missing from rights B42 show and BATISTA -both with broken wrists
And those are just small complaints. Not even bringing up the countless amount of unforgivable issues ive seen in stores causing me to pass up or miss out on figures I wanted badly aka - misplaced eyebrows and pupils (no.. Not anal nitpicking. Literally look mentally challenged) -unfinished or completely missing logos or designs on tights - hairlines completely butchered and way below or above their placement. -scuffs covering figures that look played with by a toddler - wrists bent inside bubble permanently damaging or disfiguring the joints from the wrist -unnecessarily loose wrist knee and elbow joints .. Sometimes even so much so that the wrist or lower leg dangles or snaps right off.
Those are just to name a few. People say these toys are made for kids. And at this point they also look made BY them. When collectors such as myself spend thousands upon thousands on these I deserve to get something that looks better than incomplete , broken, or botched figures. It's literally 9 out of 10 figures on the shelf now that are imperfect. Just a joke honestly.

im guessing there QC department if one exists has been cut back because of costs. i really cant remember the 1st time i started seeing widespread QC issues, i almost never saw issues before 2013. Ive been lucky alot with paint apps but i have seen my fair share at retail that have been bad.

Used to buy all my figs online but now I find myself checking through figures in shops and picking the best one in stock. This helps but it's impossible to see what the back of the figure looks like. I'd happily lose one set a year if the others were brought out to a better standard.
I understand that its a buisness and at an all time high of production but quality has been dropping in my opinion
Buisness is money but quality shouldn't be overlooked

I had no issues with Bluetista or Cesaro I received the other day.

My Rollins and Reigns both seem fine. I did see a couple of Usos with badly smudged face paint at one of my local Wal-Marts recently though, so I know that this stuff does happen.

Oh this year in general with these figures. I've had more new Figures break on me this year than all my other years buying wrestling figures combined (and that's like 01-07 and 11-13 )

There are issues with every wave but like idiots we keep buying ieverything and Mattel is making lots of money so why would they change their ways?
Im just glad most of the time, they are easy fixes except for messed up tats like the one ln Batista's right shoulder.

I've had only three problems *knock on wood* in the last 4 years with Mattel. Elite 20 Punk with warped T bar, WMH Taker leg fell off right out of the package, and my E18 Sin Cara had a huge smear on his ass.
You guys just have some bad luck.
