My Seth has brutal paint errors. Blonde in his beard. Black scuff across his forehead. Gold scuffs all over the white parts of the gear. I was pretty bummed, as you can imagine.

Been noticing a lot of the QC complaints are preorders. Too much of coincidence of it being isolated incident. 1st run figures str aight off the production line seem to be more problematic and reorders fall in that category. People laugh at those who still shop via retail but at least we get to see if a figure is quality or screwed with our eyes instead of hoping for a good one. I don't think people laugh at people for their shopping preference. However, do this that Mattle is seeing consistent gains that QC isn't an issue to them. What really needs to be done is going to the Mattel website, complain about the issues, and personally say enough is enough, "I'm done with Mattel Elites" I had a conversation with a GameStop employee about new games being $48 at other places. He said that if enough people do the comment surveys and stop pre-ordering a GameStop, they'd be forced to listen. However, being 45 series into elites, and 6 years into Mattel collecting, it's a lot easy to say it but a lot harder to do it. Unless there is a mass recall like for lead paint or choking hazards like Toys R Us Mankind's removable hair chunk, Mattel isn't caring about the cries of hundreds of collectors when they sell hundreds of thousands of toys. Sure you can boycott but it won't effect their bottom line enough to bring about the change folks want. And no matter who take up the WWE licence next (I see Mattel re-upping for another 5 years), problems will still be there.

Tremendous quality figures . . . would buy all instantaneously, sight unseen . . . seeing these though solidifies immediate purchase!

I'm usually on the fence about pre-ordering but this confirms that there are issues with the first run figures. This quality is totally unacceptable.

Do all of the D-von's look like that? Hopefully not. That would suck if so.

All Seths are like that. They're not painted the way it's molded, they painted their own lines to reflect in real life and just used the old shirt mold. Hes talking paint on Lex, glue on Rollins. Do you not see the blob of glue on Seths forehead where the hair line is? This bums me out. E43 was the first set Ive experienced lots of flawed figures, and that was just paint apps/quality control. Now we have crappy elbows, and glue everywhere... Oh crapI didn't even notice! Thanks for pointing it out

Why's the black paint on the back of D-Von glossy and the rest is dull?
I think the OP did that and is blaming Mattel to see what we'd say as a social experiment.
Kudos OP. You won.

I hate seeing people say "well mine are ok, screw everyone else..." Why not just keep it to themselves and be happy they got what they paid for instead of the crap you and others got. I appreciate these threads because they help me and others know what to expect when ordering these new waves. e43 and this have been pretty bad so far.

It's good to see people aren't taking up for Mattel as much anymore, and recognizing there's an ongoing problem here.
And at the same time, Mattel need to be made aware.

I've been pretty fortunate with minor issues that are fixable like paint smears and whatnot. The problem is I shouldn't have to bust out the Goof Off every time a preorder arrives.
I got my second Bubba today and his left arm isn't loose like the first one I received but he has a huge white paint app on his neck from the camo. Nothing I can do to fix that since the torso is cast in black.

The vast majority of the figures I've purchased have been fine as well, but just look at the pics the OP posted here, plus the issues with Bret from the series before, and smurf chest Ryback from the set before that...and you can definitely see a distinct drop off in the quality of figures. Are they being rushed? Are they cutting corners? Who knows for sure, but you can't turn a blind eye to it.

Ryback and 123 kids painted torsos were some of the first issues. Then KO and Bret. My Joe and others had splotchy red paint on black trunks. Lots of misplaced eyebrows and even wrong forearms like someones Kalisto. It needs to be brought to peoples attention so they dont waste extra money to have early figures that end up botched because they were rushed.
