Just wondering if any of the figs you have bought have factory errors. I have spotted a couple among mine:

- Snow Job has two right feet
- Scarface has two right lower legs and feet.

I've been lucky so far- no defects to report.

Every single Gung-ho I've ever gotten (in store, online, single carded, 5-pack, loose trades) has had his biceps on the wrong side.

I have a Wild Weasel that has no Cobra Emblem on his shoulder.
My Shipwreck from the comic pack has silver paint all over one side of his pistol.

I think my Gung-Ho was the same way. Because of all the articulation you can rotate the arms around so the biceps are on the right side.

Ditto on the Gung Ho arms. It seems like every Gung Ho is like that. I wonder if falls under the category of Hasbro screw-up rather than factory screw-up in this case.

Its a factory screw up because some people have reported getting a Gung-ho with the arms assembled correctly.

I too thought a simple flip around of the arm would fix it but nope. The biceps are on the completely wrong side. So I have to pop the chest, boil and pop the lower arms and put him back together the way he was supposed to be.

CG with the Cobra logo about a quarter inch in the wrong spot. Pretty mild defect.

I picked up a Cobra Commander w/crystals the other day. While trying to pose the pistol arm, I noticed the elbow joint would not move.

At all.

Believe it or not, it appears to be glued in place. Maybe it broke and someone decided to drop some glue on it? More likely, though, it's not glue but some sort of manufacturing mistake.

At any rate, I have a CC figure with a joint-locked arm. Wonderful. I'd be pissed about it if it were a character like Stalker that's only had one version so far in the 25A line. But this is the 5th? version of CC, so it's hard to get very mad.

are the single pack gung ho's fixed at least?

also, i'd throw in that "major bludd with no dog tags" as a factory error, and not a variant. for me it's mostly been missed paint apps or sloppy pant once in a while, like ace's expression of excitement..

Some were and some weren't. All the single pack Gung-ho figures I got were messed up. But others have reported that theirs were fine. I'm thinking it was an assembly error that was fixed late mid stream.

Wow. That's a crappy one. Those tags are the only thing that make that torso (and particularly the neck) look at all passable on Bludd.

I've had a Shipwreck (single pack) with two left feet, a CG with a weird split foot joint (had to carve away a segment of it for it to work normally) and a Duke with the hairline painted WAY too far back.

Otherwise quality control's been pretty decent given the volume of figures I've bought.
