    Default Quality Control on DOTM Toys

    i got a DOTM crankcase from Target today (a figure i had been looking forward to since he was first shown)

    and as i'm transforming him i notice something, his finger/claws have snapped off to the same length as his other fingers

    both hands were missing the long claw/finger and they hadnt broken off in the box or anything they were just gone

    to those of you that have bought crankcase, has your one had his claw/finger snap off?

    Roadbuster has shoddy paint apps and the plastic feels like it will break easily. My GF stated 'it looks like they spent their entire budget on Licensing and copyright, leaving nothing for production'
    She refuses to touch it.

    It's possible that they had to cut Crankcase's finger due to it being so pointy and sharp. Kids buy these after all

    Have we worked out if the snipped finger is a running change or have a non-snipped is the change?

    That might be an intentional cost-saving measure, cos from what I've heard the toy is an impressive piece of engineering for a toy of its size. I've only ever seen it MOSC, but it looked pretty cool.

    Btw, has anyone else experienced Deluxe Bumblebee's chest being unable to lock down properly in robot mode? Cos I wanna know if it's a common design flaw or just a freak incident with my figure, cos if it's the latter I wanna get an exchange. Thanks.
