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?

I looked it up myself earlier -- the main thing is that the head/neck connection itself snaps right off, mostly when trying to swap the headsculpts; and this has been reported a LOT. It seems much more widespread than previous LC QC issues (which tended to be much more random and spotty)
I haven't heard about it (or any other issues for that matter) in the rest of the wave she's in. It's just her

It is reminding me of Tiga in just how much reports I'm seeing of it. People are taking the opportunity to pitch in other QC faults they've experienced with this figure (hence the picture linked earlier, and stuff like floppy swords), and since this is a particularly bad and widespread case even more people are taking it as an opportunity to share other QC issues they've had with the line; so you might be seeing those pop up and get confused as to what the central issue that caused this whole discussion is. Apparently the recent pinless male body commonly has floppy joints? That's news to me, though I haven't gotten an LC in a while

I saw one just straight up missing the wrist morpher.
But yeah, so the new no-plastic packaging has all the accessories tossed in together in a paper bag. This leads to a lot of bent swords and paint rubbing off. No window also means its hard to check to see if the one you're buying in a store look good/complete. Only companies with really solid QC should attempt windowless packaging like this. That neck joint confirms that its a single ball joint at the top of the neck and simple rotation on the bottom. Whereas I believe some of the older lighting collections had double ball jointed necks?

It would've been a better solution than just tossing the accessories into a paper bag.
Plus the toy itself is made of plastic. What's one sprue tree gonna cause? |

And what alternative would you suggest the toy be made of?

When a figure comes with a sprue tree, it's typically because the item is small and unpainted.
Most of the accessories in LC feature painted details
