From what I can tell in my circles, there's just been alot of reports of different tiers of bad QC across figures: Missing parts, stuff warped right out of the package despite no plastic shell, so on and so on.

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

Cool, thanks! That does make sense, and I get why people are annoyed with an actual breaking problem like this, rather than the usual paint issues. Lower budget version of SS Tiga, I suppose

[Kurona]

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?

A Sprue Tree would've been more effective.

A sprue tree would defeat the purpose of the no-plastic packaging from a manufacturing standpoint.

[Sheepweaver95]

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?

[Matrixbeast]

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
