Well whilst I am reading this, I feel I should post something about a figure I bought recentley.

When I was having trouble finding a Skidz figure (now there is an abundance of the f***er everywhere) I bought the first one I saw. I even looked to see if he had the gold tooth and that, looked at the figure all over and thought that it was all good. Lo and behold when I get it home and before we even open him up, I notice a big long what appears to be a knife slash in the top of the roof. In the light of the store I didnt see it and only when I had it in natural light could see it, and it is damn obvious. Been half tempted to buy him again to have one that isn't damaged. And as you said Kup, we shouldn't have to check the figures top to bottom to get the one that is the least damaged/badly made.

Even goes for the ones with the wrong figure in the wrong packets, but at least the toy is fine (besides people buy them coz they are rare )
My folks have a bunch of Star Trek TNG where it was the wrong packet for the figure in it, they are worth money, but still it shouldn't happen.
