Only picking up on 1 of 3 spelling errors?
Not only are you pedantic, but you are rubbish at it to (sic). :-)
*too Christ, please don't try to be intelligent again....
The Latin adverb SIC ("thus"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written")
inserted after a quoted word or passage, indicates that the quoted matter has been transcribed exactly as found in the source text, complete with any erroneous or archaic spelling, surprising assertion, faulty reasoning, or other matter that might otherwise be taken as an error of transcription.
In other words, I knew exactly what I was writing, you're (SIC) pedantic way's need some nurturing....

The only difference I see is the DM figure belt's black is a lighter shade. But the paint applications cover the same areas on both. So I really don't see the issue. I could see if they didn't paint the eyes or something. But they painted everything that was supposed to be painted.

Maybe the picture isn't the best, but 1 of the 3 actually has no black on the text, and no black on one of the eyes!!!

Sir, you created a unique statement, you did not use any quoted text. You can't use the behavior and characteristics of a language wrong and then say that you didn't. That's just silly and churlish. I like that you called me pedantic in a thread about quality control. I did one of those exhales through my nose, not a chuckle about it. Enjoy your Thursday, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The belts that came with my DM Austin are warped and don't sit correctly on the strap. :/

We pay for our hard earned money for wrestling figures, they deserve to be bashed a bit if not up to scratch. especially the so called "Premium" line. I guess internet forum police, critiquing haphazard typing and language skills are a free bonus.

Sorry, but someone has to say this. They are ing toys guys. Plastic men in little boxes designed and sold for children, in toy stores that are big and bright to try and get children to pester their parents to buy crap... Yes, I collect them, have done for years. But for the sake of my mind, can we please stop with the constant quality control crap. My god, look at the in thing before u part with your cash and if u don't like it, don't buy it. And if u order online, stop! and wait for retail. It really isn't that hard is it??? Control what u can control and that is where u spend ur money. If u want ultra high end stuff, stop buying 10 year olds toys and start a hot toys collection or something. Then when u get something that is rubbish, complain to them - cause u are paying for quality there. me, and I don't need a god dam English lesson when I come in here to hear and talk about TOYS.

I hate when the sweatshop kids don't do their job correctly and it affects my collection.

If you are happy to accept substandard then you shouldnt have anything to say. Since you are at pains to point out they are childrens toys, safety is a qc issue too and people have been complaining about parts breaking off. I just sold a MoC, old Sheamus and the buyer told me the head was unpopped when it arrived. He could have had a kid, and that kid could have choked to death. But thats fine because they are JUST toys!!!!

The QC of these figures is below average, especially in terms of paint application.
Paint detail isn't very impressive either, look at things like Sid's hair color for example.
Mattel probably pockets more money than they should on these things, we deserve more quality at the elite price point imo.
So many little things I can think of, like the belts no being sculpted like the Jakks belts. No texture, just flat and smooth. More corners are cut in this line than people like to believe, we just get more deco and scaled figures.
