I just checked, and I don't see any sculpt issues in mine, but I DO recall that I had to kind of root around on the shelf for one that didn't have a stray bit of paint in a bad place (I think mostly the cheek, actually! What is it with cheeks and this figure lol).<br /><br />Granted, keep in mind this was the remaining clearanced-straight-from-warehouse stock from a chain that was closing down, so it might have been bottom of the barrel in pickings, which may be why so many of the copies I saw had paint issues (i.e. all the good copies may have gotten snapped up)...but even those were fairly minor and I could have touched them up had I been less picky. I was lucky to get one that was pretty much perfect though. :) <br /><br />This figure is SUPER cute while still clearly being a Skilled Warrior vibe, and I'm glad to see how much this series and DC in general has started embracing female character diversity. And yes, Katana's actually a character who's been around for a while, I know, but they're actually USING her more now, including putting her in the Suicide Squad lineup and this series, and this one gives her such a cool redesign! (I remember her actress for the Suicide Squad movie was so excited to get to be a superhero, which Asian girls so rarely get to be in Western media. Shame they barely even used her in the movie, but still).<br /><br /><br />Now if only we could get a freaking Jessica Cruz figure for this line, huh? ;)<br />Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840316413910459116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-17700358815449365942017-01-09T01:44:43.102-05:002017-01-09T01:44:43.102-05:00Her character design is totally just Mulan!

When I bought the first six figures back in Spring they were all perfect. I'll have to check out the multipack QC quality. Maybe they were a second run that was just sloppier overall.ShesFantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933595350944635451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-387010739418673172016-11-12T17:57:53.332-05:002016-11-12T17:57:53.332-05:00Yeah mine must have been a total fluke.

Also, my TRU had about a dozen of them, so I made sure to review them to get a good one, ans I really didn't see the issues you list on any of the ones I looked at.

My first set had a Harley with one leg that wouldn't bend, both sets Ivy had misshapen, crooked feet, and she couldn't stand at all, and various bent bow-legs. So yeah, bad QC seems to be common with these figures. Can't comment on Katana as i haven't seen her in person yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235305234530290388noreply@blogger.com
