2. One of the hand's thumb keep popping off (KFC hands are notorious for this)
3. After collapsing the torso it's very very difficult to pull him back up again
4. One of the arm's elbows can get a little stuck in the arm cavity
5. the left leg wont tab back in as securely as in the beginning after pulling it out (EDIT: nevermind - you need to tab all THREE pegs in - the last peg in the middle is very fiddly as that peg doesn't hold up at all - a design fault definitely)
6. It can be hard to pull the legs back out when transforming back to bot mode.

I think that's it - the arm problem I fixed with nail polish and attempted to do the same with left leg as well.

No breakages to speak of, no scratches to speak of and I think a lot of breakage might be due to incorrectly attempting to transform him - as it is quite complicated. However I think he's far more solid than MP-5 ever was and robot mode is spot on.

Appreciate the run down of QC issues. Still, all things considered it's a decent figure and definitely the most accurate G1 Megs to date. Mine just arrived yesterday but haven't had a chance to take him out of the box yet. Only thing I noticed through the window was a minor scratch in the centre of his chest. A deception label should mostly cover it up. I'm inclined to wait for Reprolabels though. Sounds like they're already working on a set. Hoping to have a play on Friday if all goes well.

Regardless, it's nice to finally have him in hand. I hope you guys all get yours very soon.
