And I thought BOA's action figures from a while back molding their "gold" parts into Timberland boots color was bad. What other examples are there?

This is a pretty crazy one from what I've seen. |

QC Horrors have been hitting every Hasbro line as of late. Hasbro QC has always been spotty, but ever since they adopted their windowless packaging it's gotten even worse. Figures outright just missing parts(like seen with DF Green up there) being the worst of it.

Hasbro should go back to not caring about the environment and just give us plastic windows again.

I'm more baffled by the head snafu. Who on earth thought to themselves 'you know what this line of figures in a franchise known for helmeted superheroes needs? A two-layer plug system where the face pegs in the back of the head'.
It's not like these figures come with alternate faceplates so you can make your own Dino Fury Green Ranger; you have a Ranger head and a Civilian head. There is no reason why this shouldn't have been a solid piece, like every GI Joe figure ever made. |

There is no reason why this shouldn't have been a solid piece, like every GI Joe figure ever made. But I will say, that the two-piece head design is actually a solid engineering choice. In toy design, its always preferable to cast a piece in a predominant color vs painting it, especially if there multiple color layers to apply afterwards. The visor being separate allows for much more depth to the helmet and really cleans up paint applications.

I feel like I'm missing something, because while the QC is bad, what's specifically so shocking about this batch of releases? Did people just collectively have enough, or are there actually dozens of really bad "No-head Izzy's" and I just can't tell because all the photos look the same?
