What figures are you referring to?
The worst Figuart I've gotten this year is I guess Wizard Flame, cuz he does like to pop in half a little too easy, but it's not that bad, and the belt falls off all the time, but I'll just glue it on one of these days, Other than that he's fine, and Water was a little better, and Land and Hurricane are lots better.

Everything else has been great, though sometimes the outward motion of the hip joints is looser than I would like. Maybe you've bought more than I have, but I think I've got a fair number of Figuarts from this year and haven't had any bad sculpting, breakage or other problems.

The Daft Punk figures really are terrible. I love Thomas & Guy so I'll keep them for that. But they are not good toys. And certainly not worth aftermarket prices I've been seeing them go for.

The only other disappointing figure I could even think of from this year is ZX which is a loose floppy mess. I actually had to take the entire neck and head assembly apart on mine and assemble it properly because his head couldn't move at all. And then Gavan. Honestly all 4 Metal Heroes are duds. Not so stellar articulation, chrome flaws, easily broken wrist pegs. Those were all disappointments.
