That being said, mine has probably the worst QC on any Transformer I've ever had:
- The stickers are poorly sized, the cut lines are poor in spots, and my goodness, there is not one single sticker that is applied on straight. Most are peeling and the faction symbol on the robot chest actually had a tuft of fluff sticking out from under it *out of the box*. Seriously, why bother? Good thing I'm a fan of Reprolabels, they will have a set of superior replacement stickers that I can apply properly myself.
- The paint apps are sloppy, again with virtually every one showing under- or over-spray, and stringy bits of misplaced paint where there shouldn't be paint apps. The rear red find are molded with black plastic and then painted red in their entirely, which makes you wonder why they didn't just mould it in red plastic in the first place. Sadly, he paint is laid on way too thick and has scratches as well as paint rub, again *out of the box*.
- One of the niftier inclusions of the tiny Aerielbots are almost ruined by again being thickly painted white over clear blue plastic, loosing some of their detail. I'm going to try and strip the paint and repaint them in their appropriate colours.
- The hips on mine are loose and he won't stand unaided. Something else I'll need to fix that I shouldn't have to.
Hope I got a particularly bad one and it's not as bad across the board.
