Most of the paint issues don't bother me. I can always fix that myself.

It's not that Bandai America couldn't do it but they had this warped sense that the bodies had to look like that and refused to change. Those designs should never have left the concept phase.

Paint issues depend.
A minor dab of paint needed?
At that price point i expect that.

It's that some of the alignments are so bad that you would need to repaint the whole figure to fix it. That is not acceptable. Take Drakkon for example. Some of the helmets are 30% offset with the paint apps.

And I know I'll probably get shot for saying this, but I also would've preferred if they'd just outright skipped the un-helmeted heads. Especially if it meant we could get other accessories instead like more weapons and/or extra hands.

Overall, with the figures I've bought from the line, I've been very lucky in terms of QC. Although my DS-MMPR Black had reversed biceps, but that was an easy fix.

Hopefully with the price getting bumped up next year, so too will the quality.

Oh man i can't agree on the diaphragm. I want that to be standard on the Marvel Legends figures. I love that additional articulation. That only only I could see to appease would be more articulation in the ball joint.

Same with the heads and I don't really know if nixing them will really bring in those accessories. The price bump is more for the trade issues and not to make better products.
