25th joes
 
hay guys today at work we got the 5 pack. there was about 6 of them and the joe sets all the Scarlett right legs were broken. the set gos for $24.98, and the card ones $4.88, there not rollback. there always low price. there were not that much there. im hoping they come in tonight so i can pick up the set. there's the form i read and there falling apart, what im thinking is thy may have put way too much force on them, i like the way C.C looks, and the snakeeyes comes with 2 different dogs, timber comes in white and black. but roadblock and destro looks bad-ass. im hoping when i go to the joe con here in Conn, they have the Scarlett doll , so i can make Glenda out of her. :D

I got my Gung Ho out of the box, only to find his right leg hangs loosely, making it impossible for him to hold any sort of pose. Very disappointing quality control and/or design by Hasbro. :mad:

don't hold your breath for a decent, functional, tight-joint Gung-Ho. The problem with his right leg is almost universal, MOST of the GH figures that have been reported on share the problem.

That's the most consistent issue I've been reading about, but it seems that quality control is uneven or just plain poor throughout the line, with the boxed 5-packs having the majority of rampant broken, flimsy, misshapen, and sloppily painted characters. And in the single carded arena, I've read and seen for myself that finding cardbacks that aren't rolled in the corners or bent and creased is difficult.

And all these problems are compounded by these things just starting to show up, first sightings in US stores were only about 3 weeks back. Spotty distribution and fast sell-outs makes it harder to hope that the store you do find these things in probably just put out a single case so chances are all the cards will be crap or all the boxes will look banged up. Once they start reaching saturation following heavier shipments, at least finding presentable packaging on shelves will be easier... but that doesn't help the figures themselves. THAT'S an issue Hasbro going to have to address and fix ASAP if they want this line to keep selling to MIB/MOC collectors as well as loose collectors and customizers.

You know one of my theories has always been: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'........

I had NO problems with the original designs...............ergo.........K.I.S.S. (another of my favorite phrases ;) )

Kinda sounds like the production was rushed.

Or Hasbro is punking us for the 2nd wave...
