TFs Q/C problems archive (already damaged in the packaging)

Murphy's Law.

My TFPRiD Ultra Magnus has a big silver smudge on his chin. I've tried rubbing it with rubbing alcohol, but with no affect so far. gamblor916 reckons I should just keep persisting. It's odd... other times when I've had this problem the rubbing alcohol takes it right off, but this time it's being one stubborn SOB!

Magnus appears particularly annoyed about it too

Oh yeah, the inconsistency is driving him absolutely MENTAL!
Anyway, I gave it another go this morning. Doused another cotton tip with rubbing alcohol and rubbed away - nothing. Then I took a make-up removal pad, put some rubbing alcohol on it, then put my finger nail behind it to scratch at the smudge. I had to give it a really good solid scratch, but the sucker FINALLY came off! Guh... that was one helluva stubborn smudge!

Should mention that one of my botcon seekers has a loose wing. Right at the part where it connects to the part that moves in transformation. If I don't tranform that wing right at the joint, it feels like it will pop out or snap.

I just chalk it down to mold degradation.

My MP Acid Storm has a v loose r wing. Not sure if cbb 2 exchange

50% of the AoE toys that I've purchased this month have had QC issues.
+ Slug <--- dodgy elbow; exchanged toy
+ Scorn <--- no problems
+ Crosshairs <--- dodgy side panels; bought another one, refunded faulty one
+ Bumblebee <--- no problems
+ Evasion Optimus Prime <--- loose right elbow
+ Voyager Grimlock <--- no problems (other than being a crap toy )

Thats almost TFA wave 1 frequency of QC issues.

Ugh. Just opened the new Kreon wave and I accidentally got a extra Trypticon instead of a Mindwipe.

The left arm of my Generations Legends Cliffjumper is faulty. The black elbow ball joint is too large (or the socket is too small), so it won't stay in the red elbow socket... and has caused stress marks from forcing it.
I had to sand down the ball, but it still isn't a good fit, and one of the stress marks looks like a crack now.

Just got Windblade. Nice figure, but she has 2 right shoulder pads. Anyone get one with 2 left shoulder pads?

Thanks Admins for redirecting my post to the right place

Anyway just wanna know if anyone has any issues or defects on their Transformers Masterpiece figures and items and what are they.

Mine are as follows:
Takara
MP12 Lambor: Bio Card looks like it has been folded in half vertical crease.
MP17 Prowl: very obvious paint bubble on hood/bonnet
MP20 Wheeljack: smudged LANCIA logo on rear wing spoiler looks like a glue residue was left that caused it then packed the item when still wet.
MP21: got two boxes one has uneven paint apps the other has flashes on the small holes of the design on the wheels/mags (all 4 wheels!)

Hasbro
MP03 Grimlock: too many loose parts. Tightened most screws. Pins i have no luck. Scratched chrome on chest. Half of autobot logo a little bit smudged
MP05 Sunstorm: 2x rusted bolts wing. Wing dont hold up in robot mode i think that is right hand side. Too much clearance between the wing part that folds.

Well that is all as of now since most of my Takara are MIB inspected only not transformed. Hopefully nothing any major problems because too much money have already been spent on this line.
