I've had barely any trouble with QC but that doesn't mean there's not a lot of trouble with QC and that I'm going to poop on people who have justifiable grievances just because I've been lucky.

I love how for some, even SEEING isn't believing anymore. Instead, let's question the authenticity of a poster's pix or one's merit, and then give Mattel the proverbial pass! There's no other option nor opinion to have quite honestly & frankly put in some people's views, so it seems! Forget proof, I don't need no stinkin' proof, maaaannnn! Mattel > Life itself; Mattel = God! Please up the prices by $10 per figure NOW . . . and ALL of them stat! That D'Von alone is worth $50 loose. Even more before breaking its seal, since I salivate all over Matty's package/box(er shorts) baybeh! Yeah, stick those splotchy pieces of plastic in that bent up box! Rip & shred that package up while you're at it too! Like Pedro Martinez to the New York Yankess, I tip my hat, bow down, worship Mattel . . . and proudly call them "Daddy"!!! Well, I don't actually do so per se, but some folks sound that way...sheesh! In the words of vocalist Maynard James Keenan during the song "Vicarious" by the band TOOL: "Why can't we just admit it?!!??!!?"

Honestly, are any of you guys surprised? These figures jumped the shark sometime last year, now they are just on their way to the bottom of the abyss.
Seriously though, these figures no longer live up to their "Elite" branding, not even close. The quality has gotten so ridiculous I don't find them worth money anymore, and I don't mean the money their asking, I mean any amount of money in general.
These have dropped to the same quality of Chinese dollar store junk toys you get in clear plastic bags.
Cherish your older Elites my friends, they will never come close to that quality we were once accustomed to and payed LESS for. They are dropping in quality at a record pace. Sure JAKKS sucked for the most part but they never disrespected their customers by spitting in their face with severe drops in quality.
And those elbows, don't get me started on those flap of skin elbows........
YOU RUINED IT!!!!!!!!!!!

That D-von paint mistake is horrible. It's making me question wanting the Elite Dudleys

Why would it question you wanting the Dudleys? Because the original poster got a bad one? Others have said their Dudleys are fine. As for the arms while they aren't my favorite parts Mattel has created they certainly aren't the worst thing Mattel has ever created. That title still goes to the E26(?) Fandango torso. Whoever created that monstrosity needs to go back to art school. Back to the arms, my only issue with them is if they are going to switch to that style then actually give the arm the elbow swivel that most arms that look like that have.

So can you return the broken ones to RSC? And will you be returning the flawed painted ones?

crapnow I have to open mine and check. Just had the dudleys elite delivered along with both stings y2j Braun strowman, Sid, sincara, hulk hogan, all from RSC. Figured I'd cash in on the holiday sale,and got 25% off. Do you open all of them just to see if they are broke? Then repackage if you keep them in the box? What if you never check and years later you come to find out they are broke or unpainted!? Will they then be considered opened??

Once you break open the seal/tape it is opened.

If you collect MOC and you can't tell if they're defective without opening them, does it even matter?

I had a few issues with recent figures like my Owens has a small bit of paint on his cheek and my TNF Bam Bam has a little smudge hidden by the ab crunch, but oddly enough my E43 Bret had no paint issues but I had to take a hair dryer to his arm.
Really I don't squawk about QC issues unless they're really glaring like the ones OP had (Really, DVon's back of the neck unpainted? That's Chinese bootleg stuff right there) but that's why I don't preorder as much as I used to, unless it's a fig I know will be highly sought after or one I absolutely must have.

New elbows made me cancel my Dudley order. Why change something this late in the game Mattel? You ed this line up with new elbow molds. These were the elbows shown on the original prototypes we saw. Nothing ever got changed, let alone late in the game.

Nothing ever got changed, let alone late in the game. I saw them during SDCC. I hoped they would just be part of the prototype. I never read or heard from a video that they would/wouldn't be a new perminate part of the Elite figure outlay. Mattel really ed up the continuity of this line. Why wait nearly 7 years to change the elbows? It looks horrible. If its anything like Elite 17 Mankind, and I assume it is, it actually henders movement. I can say, for 100% certainty that I am done with Mattel.
